Hey, if you agree with these two assessments (I do, too), then there IS only one answer. You have to go with the unproven guy, who so far has shown a TON of promise. Why go with one of the guys you agree can not do the job?? Logic does not allow that.

Let me clarify a bit, here's my view of our QB situation. Brunell is struggling I agree, Ramsey has also struggled but I believe he can still be our guy someday, Hasselbeck is a decent backup but if we have to go to him for any length of time we're in big trouble.

Brunell is currently playing like he is "washed up", but that doesn't mean he can't turn it around. Over the past few years there have been quite a few QB's that were thought to be done, but came back to perform well.....Warner, Vinny, Maddox, Collins, Gannon, etc. It can happen. I don't necessarily believe Brunell can do it, and would like to see what Ramsey can do, but I'll stick by Gibbs decision (like it even matters what any of us think). Tim Hasselbeck is a great #3, and a decent back-up, but that's it. Like Matty said, if we need him to play for an extended amount of time, we're in trouble anyway.
