It has to be an emotional attachment, that's the only way I can see why people are so supportive of a QB who's been so inconsistent. It has to be an emotional attachment when people are so eager to overlook his interceptions and inconsistent play.

I don't get it. Ramsey doesn't look like the answer right now, and in all likelihood Brunell is just a stopgap until Campbell is hopefully ready to take the job next year. But people are acting like we're benching Manning or Favre. We're benching a young QB who hasn't proven anything except that he's still an inconsistent QB that makes too many mental errors.
Honestly Matty, I don't think it's as much an endorsement for Ramsey as it is a slight against Brunell. Those 9 games last year were maybe the most painful games I've had to witness as a skins fan as far as our offense goes. I just don't want to see a repeat of that offense again. I know things are different with our offense this year, but let me turn the question back around: "What exactly has Brunell done to deserve to be the unquestioned starter??"

Did somehow completing less than half of his throws and gaining 5 yards per attempt last year win him the starting job? Did the fact that he went right back to that 5 yard per attempt average last week do it?

If you compare the numbers of what the two have done in the same system, it's not even close.
