Gus Frerotte averages 7.1 yards per attempt.

So, if that number is "pretty much all you need to see", I'm sure you will enlighten all of us as to the glory that Gus could lead this team to if he were to materialize here.

And I'm sure you already know that Mark Brunell's career average gain per attempt is 7.0 yards per attempt - which is 6% higher than Ramsey's - and that is "pretty much all you need to see". Right?

Yeah, its pretty much still all I need to see. I watch the Redskins every week and I know exactly what that number means. Its the very indication of why Brunell and our offense as a whole, is having trouble. Because we are only throwing it 5 yards per pass. Ramseys numbers or Ferrottes number mean nothing to me, because I have watched them and know that they do take shots down the feild. Brunells arm is getting weak, our offense sucks, we need a change. If we had a crappy defense, I really wouldnt even care this much, but I'm so p*ssed that we are wasting this defense. We need a change on offense, weather its playcalling, quarterback , I dont care. I personally feel that change should be at quarterback, but thats just me.
