McCants: Your thoughts?

Another thing to consider here is that Ramsey had to look over his shoulder for Brunell and now again this pick shows Gibbs overall distrust that Patrick can run the offense. He can do it and Gibbs needs to make his Quarterback, the field general of the football team, feel as comfortable as possible and get him to perform on the field. If Gibb's is such the magician of developing QBs then he should do it. It isn't as if Ramsey doesn't have all of the tools.

Gibbs named Ramsey the starter for 2005 before the 2004 season was even completed from what I remember or at least shortly after. At that point, I don't believe Ramsey was having to look over his shoulder.

Hey, Gibbs can only do so much...it's up to Ramsey to prove himself a field general and if he can't do the job, we obviously have to go to someone else who can.

Agreed, but don't you think that bringing in 2 quarterbacks in 2 years with an incumbant starter could kind of screw with his head a bit??? I really think confidence is a HUGE factor in a QB. Everyone wants to compare our team lately with NE because of WR, what if every year Belichek (sp?) brought in guys to compete for Brady's job??? Again, I don't consider these guys in the same ball park right now, but Ramsey has a lot of upside and if he had some continuity in the team and coaches he would be a lot farther along than he is right now. I mean the guy when in two polar opposite directions in Offense from Spurrier to Gibbs... I think we need to give this guy a full season in Gibbs system.

Oh, and Gibbs said that Brunell was the starter for 2004 and he didn't finish the season that way ( Thank God!!!)
