I think you just hit on what it is about this QB move that has me the most upset and scared. It's the sense that Gibbs has lost touch with reality here. That what he has done, if viewed in purely logical terms, makes no good sense. And the thought that perhaps Gibbs is so out of touch is what really scares me, because he is our last best hope to turn things around - Danny Boy has no more rabbits to pull out of his hat if Gibbs doesn't work out.

all of last season happened right in front of us

no f*cking way!!!!!!! I dont care if Brunell goes 15 and f*cking 0 ,you dont pull your starter after 19 minutes in the first game,epecially when the replacement was the worst f*cking qb in the nfl last yr!!
having said that,do i want brunell to go 15-0,of course i do cause I'm a skins fan,that still doesnt mean it was the right thing to do

So let's say for kicks that Brunell goes 15-0.

You would still stay it was the wrong decision to pull Ramsey??

Wow, amazing logic.

I agree with you Htown, but could do without the language.

[htownskinfan]

also,how many people out there that are saying in this post,in Gibbs we trust,he knows what he's doing,how many of you agreed with his descision last yr to leave Brunell in as long as he did,when it was clear to the whole frickin world that he left him in way too long,if you didnt agree with him then,youre contradicting yourself,and if you did agree with that descision,you disagree with any nfl expert out there,and thats being delusional in my opinion

I said it, last year I wasn't calling for Brunell's removal. I had faith that Gibbs knew what he was doing...I still do. He can't turn a team around in just one year...well, maybe he did when he first came in. But we must all have patience.

Patience !!! Now you have really contridicted yourself!

[EEich]

No.

[SUNRA]

Absolutely yes. Ramsey's neck was fine. But he needs a check up from the neck up. There lies the problem.

Personally I'm willing to give Gibbs the benefit of the doubt for now.

I'm also willing to give Brunell a 2nd shot in an improved offensive system.

All in all a huge roll of the dice by Gibbs. A roll of the dice that a lot of coaches wouldn't make. Time will tell if his instincts are correct, or if this move was just dumb.

Either way I don't think we have a lot to lose. Ramsey was shaky at best, Brunell may have stunk last year, but this is a new season and the jury is still out as to whether he can get it done or not.

YES, but all this debate shows that the fans on this site, and coach gibbs have one thing in common. We will do anything to beat DALLAS this monday night he does not want to be embarassed. Been waiting for that magic Ramsey game for four years now.. Not since the Titans victory when he first appeared. this is not lights out for Ramsey yet. calm down he will have another chance to be the hero when Brunnell's crap gets old, cold , and stale then that will be his last chance. a little time on the bench should teach you about brain farts.
