Should We Go After Another QB in Offseason

Until that time, Gibbs will only give this team and its fans two options-- Brunell or bust.

Alright, since no one else has jumped on this golden opportunity to stuff my foot firmly in my mouth, I'll do it for myself.

Just when I thought I had Gibbs figured out, he goes and puts Ramsey in the game!

Here's hoping he continues to prove me wrong, and lets Ramsey practice as the starter for at least this week.

No new QB in the off-season....unless it's a mid to late round draft pick "project" to develop to be Ramsey's back-up in 2-3 years.

I agree. Unless Ramsey is so bad that Gibbs has to go to Hasselbeck this season, I can't foresee him looking to throw more money at another veteran quarterback this offseason. He will do the right thing and give Ramsey another offseason to develop in the system. I wouldn't be surprised if he took a quarterback in the mid-rounds next spring to groom as Ramsey's backup and keep on the practice squad until he can compete with Hasselbeck/Brunell for the 2nd and 3rd QB spot.
