Official Bench Ramsey / Start Brunell Thread

[offiss]

Gibbs stuck with Brunell last season through hell and highwater, retarding Ramseys growth as a QB, I personally believe Gibbs is partly looking for an excuse to explain away HIS inability to really coordiante a consistant passing game.

Mark my words all the guy's here who want to see Brunell in there will be calling for his head after 1 game, once they see him throwing the ball away, and 3 and out over and over again, I say start Brunell next week against the cowboys, it seems Brunell fails against the average defenses and Ramseys gets judged against the elite defenses while moveing the ball FAR better than Brunell on every occasion, I say lets get this over with once and for all.

Did anyone see the locker room interview with Brunell? When he was asked about his INT that was called back? He laughed and said he was trying to throw it 10 more yards downfield but he wasen't warmed up enough, WASEN'T WARMED UP ENOUGH????????? He came in mid way through the second quarter, is he telling me that he doesn't warm up before a game? Sounds to me like another excuse for Brunell, whether it comes from Gibbs or his own mouth, how does a veteran not be ready after a quarter and a half.

I also like the excuses Gibbs is trying to congure up about last year when the trainers came to him and said Brunell would be out for 2 weeks minimum after he hurt himself in the Giant game, but because Brunell told him he could go and he played him regardless, essentilly saying thats why Brunell failed last year because of an injury, forgetting he did nothing before the injury either. Now we are to believe he wont play Ramsey if he isn't 100% healthy when all he preaches is we need guys to play through injuries? Be tough and fight their guts out? Sorry but whether Ramsey succeed's or not, he really is being unfairly mistreated and scapegoated by Gibbs.


What's worse an ocaasional INT by Ramsey which I believe with time he will overcome, and have him move the ball up and down the field wearing the defense down, or watch Brunell throwing the ball away on third downs and constant 3 and out's leaving our defense on the field?

I will say it one more time 70 yards and no TD's in 2 1/2 quarters is this the QB of our future? Take a good look at those numbers because they are right inline with Brunells numbers last year!
