don't get me wrong, i really like ramsey and hope he does well but i gotta believe if he does not then joe will not give him another shot.

Gibbs talent evaluation up to this point has been very suspect, he ran right out and traded for Portis, having no clue what kind of runner he really is, and now has to redisign the entire offensive blocking schemes to accomadate his running style, and go away from what he did to get to 4 SB's winning 3, he then recently admits he didn't realize that Betts is as good as he is, and is much more than just a 3rd down back, and in doing so sounding a lot like the kind of back he really likes.

He then sticks with Gardner all year instead of McCants, say what you want about how the kid practices, but bottom line there's not a guy on this board who would rather have Gardner in the game rather than McCants, and many of us said that from day 1.

So to say because Gibbs drafted Campbell because of his lack of confidence in Ramsey means absolutly nothing to me, because I see the same scenerio unfolding between the QB's, perhap's it's Gibbs lack of confidence in himself after his layoff that is fueling some of these decisions, Perhaps some of his decisions early on were based on what he was told by others in the organization, who know's? But to have confidence in Gibbs ability to judge talent at this point is scary, remember he's the one who gave away a ton for Brunell when a lot of us were screaming don't do it, and he couldn't get away from the guy for over half a season, retarding Ramseys groth as a QB, and the team's growth as a whole.
