Do you support Gibbs' decision to start Brunell? (Merged)

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 09-13-2005, 12:15 AM

I'm not going to start a poll, I just want people to say (without presenting any arguments), do you publicly support Gibbs' decision to start Brunell? I would like to see people put their names down in support of or in opposition to this decision. I would like to cite this thread about 3-4 weeks from now.

Me first.....NO

saskin · 09-13-2005, 12:17 AM

Yes, he is the coach of this team and he knows the team better than most of us. Like the signs say "In Gibbs We Still Trust"...not quite sure if we'll see those signs anymore but I stand by Gibbs and whichever QB he chooses.

SmootSmack · 09-13-2005, 12:18 AM

Yes

Gmanc711 · 09-13-2005, 12:20 AM

No

skinsfan0201 · 09-13-2005, 12:22 AM

No and Yes, I think it will bring some clarity to the situation once we see what Brunell does.

skinsfan0201 · 09-13-2005, 12:23 AM

you don't want to know my opinion on that though

Paintrain · 09-13-2005, 12:26 AM

Yes.

GoSkins! · 09-13-2005, 12:27 AM

Yes, but I really believe that Gibbs is trying to drive the point home to Ramsey that he cannot turn the ball over. I believe we will see Ramsey again.

I'll second this one. He is sending a message and maybe the "kid" will only get it through his thick head if he is benched.

MTK · 09-13-2005, 12:31 AM

Yes, absolutely

ST21 · 09-13-2005, 12:32 AM

as we say in texas.........yelp

As important as a good QB is, I think Gibbs just wants some consistancy in the team. So what ever gets that going I support. Besides maybe Brunnell still has some left now that he has healed.

Let's just throw this out there..

Ramsey starts the game 1 for 4 for 4 yds, INT...

he then goes 5 for 7 for 101 yards (not bad AT ALL!) BUT...

if the bogus penalty on Cooley wasn't called it becomes 6 for 8 for 107 yds, TD. AND don't forget Portis drops a VERY catchable ball in there that would have been a 7 yarder which would have made him
.... 7 for 8 for 114yds, TD after his first 4 attempts. I'd say that's damn good for ANY quarterback in the NFL in their first REAL action of the season after getting warmed-up (first 4 attempts).

Also let's DEFINITELY not forget the Brunell threw an INT into Vasher's hands as well, only his was called back due to penalty. So basically, Ramsey has a TD called back, and Brunell has a pick called back...

This is nuts. It even looked like Patrick was starting to look comfortable out there for once. It is VERY clear from watching the 2 play that you have 2 basic options. You can go with the Favre-type QB in the sense that he can and will get big chunks of yards on some plays yet throw a few INTs as well, or a guy who can only be ULTRA--ULTRA CONSERVATIVE throwing slants and WR screens but not many INTs. We proved last year that you HAVE to TRY and go downfield to help the running game and to score FREAKING TOUCHDOWNS to win games!! Remember that if we would have scored on average 21 points per game last year (which is less than the 6-10 panthers scored) we'd have been 11-5!!!

Can Brunell lead this team to the Super Bowl?? NO. Let Ramsey PROVE... I mean REALLY prove his isn't the future...

woulda, shoulda

I think we'd be better than 11-5 at 21ppg, and I didn't think ramsey looked bad enough to bench either, but its kinda a done deal now. I'm hoping brunell can prove he can keep the dbs deep enough for portis to break something.

I do agree that game could have turned out better easily, and the refs weren't that great, but bad calls are a reality for us.
