Should Ramsey Start Against Chicago?

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Has Brunell done enough to justify starting?

[VTSkins897]

nobody on the offense has

[Redskins_P]

I say start Ramsey......we need a change

[jdlea]

How long have I been saying that?

Where is all of the blame for Coles or the O Line? Where is everyone rushing to Brunell's defense this week? I want to know? What finally made it hit home that he sucks? Someone tell me because I've been telling you he was no good since we played Dallas.

And the tide is turning.

As I said last week, Ramsey is our future and Brunell should be the guy to tutor him. Brunell is the savy veteran who can help Ramsey see what he hasn't been able to.

Brunell had about a 40% completion percentage, threw for less than 100 yards, refuses to eat a hit for a completion, and has led us to 1-4. WHAT exactly does he need to do to get benched?

Ramsey isn't perfect, Ramsey isn't going to be our savior (this season), but he'll move the ball.

well, Ramsey's the qb of the future, lets start grooming Ramsey now.

I said this last week, start Ramsey.

Brunell hasn't looked comfortable in any games so far, he misses open receivers and is far too quick in throwing the ball instead of scrambling, hammy or not.

I would be against it a week ago, but now it should be given consideration. I still think a lot of you forget Ramsey's performance against the Giants. However, Gibbs likes to throw the longball and Ramsey does have a better arm. Ramsey will not be able to save this season though.

I haven't forgotten Ramsey's performance against the G-men.

But, I haven't forgotten Brunell's performance in Week 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

I think before we experiment with a new QB, we ought to experiment at starting right tackle...maybe Mark Wilson over Kenyatta and Ray. Too many tackles for loss and turnovers when we're attacked from the right side of the line.

I say use the Chicago game as the litmus test for QB. If Brunell can't do anything against the Bears, its time to sit him. Its not like we're rushing to the playoffs this year, or anything.

That's a good point, but I still respectfully disagree. If this guy's name wasn't Brunell his butt would've been yanked by now.

Ramsey, no doubt. Unfortunately it is not going to happen. Gibbs is going to stick with Brunell to the bitter end. This could be his first double digit loss season as a coach.

Gibbs will make a change if he feels it can benefit the team, but that's the question right now, does he think Ramsey can do a better job??

I disagree. I am not in the DC area so could not catch any of the post-game, but I can almost guarantee there will be yet another, "Mark played his guts out" from Gibbs.

Gibbs shelters his players, so I would not expect him to call a guy out, but to keep praising Brunell for playing his guts out, is a bit much. Brunell has been instrumental in lossing each of these games.

It is only now after this last debacle, that more people on this forum are begining to call out Brunell. 83 yds passing speaks volumes. As does his constant happy feet, he does not plant and throw.

There was a special on one of the pregame shows a few weeks back highlighting McNabb, who made of point of saying that his improved accuracy was due to better footwork and using his lower body in his throws. If a strong armed quarterback like McNabb has to use his lower body, is anyone going argue that the same does not apply to Brunell?

Gibbs didn't come right out and say it after the game, but he did reportedly say he's going to consider some changes. Take it for what it is.
