You bring up some very good points. I think, however, that the author wasn't necessarily(sp) trying to directly compare Ramsey v. Brown. I think in context of Gibbs' decision making and the thought behind the dismissal of Brown and the benching of Ramsey, he was basically saying for us to win there are certain mistakes that have to be eliminated. Whether you are kick returner, starting QB, or perhaps an offensive lineman - Gibbs will make changes. And he'll be darned if he's gonna wait five, six or even nine games before he does it. I think this is what the author implied when comparing the two. I don't think he was comparing position v. position and how one impacts the game over the other. If that were the case, we're talking apples and oranges.

By the way, I do disagree with you on one point. Sir, Ramsey has most definitely had more than 19 minutes to prove himself. I think all of us would agree with that. And I know he has had several offensive coord. and head coaches and he's needed a chance to develop and so forth. But I think if we are going to make that argument for Ramsey shouldn't we make it for all the other Redskins that have had their development stunted by a system in constant flux?

Obviously this is just my point of view when I read the article. I might add, I thought the article was right on the money too!

Your really contradicting yourself, you say Gibbs is going to make changes and he'll be darned if he waits 5,6,or 9, games, who are you trying to kid here, he waited not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8, but 9 games before he replaced Brunell last season, who played the position as bad as I have ever seen.

The rest of your statements are all over the place I really don't know were to begin but I will try.

You stated that our offense is in constant flux and that all players should be afforded the same opportunity as Ramsey? Then you say we all can agree on the fact that he's had more than 19 minutes to prove himself, was he playing a pickup game in the parking lot I missed? What is it about the comparison between a KR and a QB you don't understand? Why is the QB the highest paid player in the league, and kick returners on the bottom of the food chain? Could it be becuase it's the most difficult position on the field and takes the longest to learn, it's taken some of the great QB's 3 years to develope in the same system playing every game, not 6 or 7 quarters in the pre-season.

Give me your reasons for say a player like Antonio Brown and how you believe his growth is stunted on special's. Because I know I can give you a 100 reason's and example after example, on why a QB need's time to develope, SIR!
