The offense under Brunell vs. Ramsey

[SmootSmack]

I'm probably in the minority here but I'm still not entirely convinced that we could just say if Ramsey had started day one we'd be in the playoffs.

I think that, as painful as it was to see Brunell struggle like that, it was necessary in order to allow all the surrounding pieces to get comfortable with Gibbs' playcalling (motions, etc.) while the staff worked on Ramsey in practice until he was ready to come in.

Yup. For such a smart-ass, it's amazing that TAFKAS can actually be quite insightful. : )

All in all, I am hoping that last season is similar to JG's original 0-5 start, just extended over the entire season.
