Official Bench Ramsey / Start Brunell Thread

[SmootSmack]

I believe that if healthy then Ramsey should be the starter. We will never know what value he is to us-whether as our QB or as trade bait-if we don't give him the opportunity to start on a consistent basis for an extended period of time.

However, two things bother me about what I'm reading (or my interpretation of what I'm reading) on several posts here. It should be remembered that the strength of our team is our defense and our running game. It's as simple as that. So while I enjoy seeing big plays and an exciting aerial attack, the best QB for this team is not necessarily one who's going to be make SportsCenter's Top 10. It's someone who puts the game in the hands of our defense and running game, and doesn't take opportunities away from them. I believe Ramsey is fully capable of being that QB. He doesn't need to be a superstar highlight reel to lead this team. Just a smart QB.

Secondly, I almost get the feeling (and I have a feeling I'm not alone) that some people here won't be happy unless Ramsey is the person at QB, regardless of whether we win. I don't know about the rest of you but first and foremost I'm a Redskins fan, whoever lines up behind center.
