Brunell Starting

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Well there goes two seasons down the tubes.

Don't think that if Brunell stinks up the joint Gibbs won't have a shorter leash on him either. Gibbs plain and simple does not like mistakes and I understand a little better what transpired now, and even though I still don't agree with it there is a lot of football left to be played so don't count anyone out yet!!!!! Our new backup may not be finished with our team yet.

Gibbs absorbed 10 games worth of mistakes, as long as they were from Mark.

Right on. Somehow the same "standards" that one poster said Ramsey failed to meet don't apply to Brunell. Somehow, the same short leash that Ramsey has been on since Gibbs came back don't apply to Brunell either.

For the life of me, I don't understand what Gibbs sees in Brunell (what has MB actually done to make us a success?) that justifies his continued confidence in him. Then again, who in their right mind could justify a $42M contract for Brunell?

Why does Brunell get to mess up through 9 games and Ramsey gets only 1 quarter?

None of this makes any sense.

Possibly because you are not privvy to the information and knowledge that Coach Gibbs and staff have.

we all saw what happened on the field last season. and we've all seen how little preseason success applies to the regular season.

So why didn't all of that "information and knowledge" translate to even a semi-respectable record last year?

You're being difficult, right. Ok then, here we go.

You've been in your job for a while, you know the people you work with and the actual tasks that you perform. When you change companies, as sometimes happens, you have a different set of co-workers and a simialr but differing set of tasks. Would you go in and perform at the same level immediately or would it take you a while to get there?

Big corporations have an expected learning curve even for experienced people.

Last year was like that.

How many games have we lost so far this year? None.

How many of your fellow coven members have as many years 'On the broom' as you?

Exactly! From what I have heard the fly on the wall is saying Brunell secretly pulled Gibbs aside and told him Ramsey stinks and to play him.

Brunell is a jedi you know.

So you're saying you speak 'Fly'?

Of all the weeks we don't need a QB controversy or division within the ranks of blindly obedient fans this was the one.
