A QB change is coming

[MTK]

Call it a hunch of mine, but I think a change could be coming very soon.

Maybe this week.

Careful there Mattyk72...many people here will read that you have some kind of inside info on that.

Damn Matty, I thought you heard something or had an article attached. I almost had an accident here at work man.

But I feel ya. If 3 pass attempts in the 2nd half doesn't tell ya anything then I don't what else would. We'll see......

Do we have a praying smilie?

I can't remember who brought it up. I think it was SUNRA, but if a change is coming it has to be now otherwise it probably won't be until early December at the earliest

Did you see Ramsey with his helmet on during most of the game? I thought he might come in after Brunell missed the short screen pass. It makes since to get him in there now. But if he does get a chance, man I'm gonna bit my lip on every play action pass because we don't need another Kurt Warner Jr. Ramsey has to get rid of the ball and antcipate the blitz and act appropiately. If he does it, we win.

Yeah I noticed that too, it looked like he was itching to go at a moment's notice. But that was you right who said that they wouldn't throw him into the fire against Philly or Pitt?

He usually wears his helmet on the sidelines, probably to hear the play calls

No inside info here , but there is a bit of a buzz on the internet today, and judging by some of the things Gibbs said in his postgame press conference yesterday I'm just getting the feeling a change could be coming.

The defense has been outstanding all season and now the special teams is stepping up, with a 3-5 record the team is still in it and could make a strong second half of the season push, but the offense needs a serious kick in the ass.

Brunell isn't getting any better, I think now is the time to roll the dice and see what Ramsey can do.

[offiss]

I was thinking the same thing in an earlier post in another thread, listening to his press confrence he didn't have a lot of excuses for Brunell this time around, I think he's finally coming to the conclusion that Brunell is the problem.

So long as Brunell is QB we will go no where, who one today's game? Defense and special team's, Portis had to throw our only TD pass which was set up by Thrashes return, once in a while you get a win like this but it aint happening every week especially when we play playoff caliber team's, if the switch isn't made we will be singing the blues in the upcoming week's about the one we let get away, I do think though Gibb's is starting to warm up to the idea of a QB change, almost 150yds. rushing by Portis, no sack's, decent protection, and Portis show's that reciever's are open you just have to throw it properly, I think Gibb's will be looking long and hard this week at narrowing down our problem's to Brunell, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Ramsey is taking half the snap's this week and probably will see action in the second half of the Bengal game.

[MindBoggled]

I just read that Brunell will start sunday against the bengals. dammitttttt!!!!!!!!

I can't see it happening. The way Gibbs ahs stuck by Brunell this whole time and finally we win a game and he's going to pull the plug now? Doesn't seem like a Gibbs move. Seems like it would upset the morale of the team to abandon Brunell after a win. One theory I have held lurking in my mind was that Gibbs kept thinking Brunell was gonna get injured finally and he could drop ramsey in without worrying about team morale. Gibbs doesn't come across as a guy with such nefarious and devious ways but maybe his desire to keep the team in the fold without totaly blowing the whole situation up made him hope he didn't have to do anything controversial. Sounds crazier the more I think about it...

I doubt team morale would be damaged by making a change at QB, regardless of the outcome of the last game. 58 yards is unacceptable. The players know that. I think it would help morale to know that the passing game has a fighting chance with Ramsey.

Drops aside, Brunell still had a horrid game. Even with the legitimate drops (Gardner and Betts on the sideline, Bly knocked the ball away from Coles across the middle) you can only tack on about 30 yards. The fact that Gibbs only threw the ball 3 times in the 2nd half is an obvious indictment of the QB position.
