It does make me wonder a bit when Gibbs seems ready to yank Ramsey and plug in Brunell at the first opportunity.

I have reached the conclusion that no matter what Gibbs is going to go for Brunell, period. Brunell was his hand picked choice, Gibbs cannot seem to get over the fact that he made a mistake with Brunell. The Skins only competed with themselves for Brunell, if they had waited he would have been cut by Jacksonville and could have been picked up as a bargain. Instead we have a lot of money sunk into a 'back-up'.

At this stage I wish Ramsey well and hope he can find another team after this season or when his contract expires, most likely he will be like Trent Green, all over again. I agree with the point stated in your post, it is beyond me why Gibbs is so quick to pull the trigger on Ramsey, whereas Brunell is always given the benefit of the doubt. I am just sick of "two yard bombs" , not hitting WRs in stride, nor looking off the DBs, all of the handmarks of Brunell. Funny, but Marty Shottenheimer does not looks so conservative compared to Gibbs, who would have thought that Marty Ball would be wide open, compared to Gibbs.

Of course someone will most likely reply we won, the Chargers lost, but the Chargers almost came back to win by taking chances. If the Redskins continue to play it conservative and play not to loose, instead of playing to win, they will in my opinion, loose. Like I said in an earlier post with Brunell it is the movie Ground Hog Day, same sorry passing offense.
