Brunell Starting

Skinfomaniac · 09-14-2005, 01:50 AM

BLAH BLAH BLAH !!!!
we seem to forget one man does not make a team, Gentelmen. (and i use that term loosely!!) Coach Gibbs is searching just like the rest of us for a answer and until they come together as a unit it will continue to Falter!! think back to Ryp and that superbowl team and tell me they didnt work as a unit, its time for all to step up and want to be The Washington Redskins!!! one of the best franchises, led by one of the best Coaches to ever coach the game!!!The right man will step up and lead us to the promise land. Whether it,s Brunell, or Ramsey, or Campbell or some other QB This is what coach means by CORE REDSKINS in the mean time we must continue to be the Greatest Fans In the NFL and stand by our Team and our Coach !!!
NUFF SAID
Hail to the Redskins

you're right that one man doens't make a team, but one man can ruin it, and right now i'm not sure we having a starting caliber QB. If we had a kitna or griese right now, i think we'd be 10-6 and playoff bound easily. QB is clearly our biggest question mark and weakest position as far as realized potential.

This thread is hilarious to read now.

scowan · 10-24-2005, 09:38 AM

It is hilarious because I checked out the stats on NFL.com this morning and Brunell is the highest rated passer in the NFC!!!!!! You go Mark! 12 TDs and 2 INT! Oh by the way Santana Moss has more yards than anyone in the receiving category. I doubt Coles will catch him tonight. Ha! Ha!

MTK · 10-24-2005, 09:47 AM

Soooo many people were so convinced that Gibbs had lost it, and that Brunell was done.

Many people were really fired up, funny to see that some of those people haven't posted much since then.

I feel so sorry for those "people" They really can't be enjoying this after spitting out so much hate, but I'm sure they are still compelled to watch!

I didnt agree with it then and i still dont,just because brunells doing great doesnt change that,I'm glad Brunells doing great,but we cant predict how Ramsey would have done,probably not as good but who knows? why i dont agree with it is because we've put all this time in ramsey,he's a number1 pick,he deserved the chance to start till he just completely stunk it up like Brunell did last yr,Brunell doesnt have that long left to play and he's already tweaked his calf in practice and if he makes it through the season unhurt it will be a minor miracle,he played hurt last yr and look how he played,now we'll probably try to deal Ramsey in the offseason,everybody knows gibbs wants to get rid of him so i would think that would decrease his trade value,hopefully we will still be able to get something for him besides a 7th round draft pick

I too was and still am a Ramsey supporter, but not at the expense of winning.

I think it's pretty evident that Ramsey had a fair shot at leading this team, and why should Gibbs have waited for Ramsey to stink up the joint before putting in Brunell? Who's benefitting from that?

This is a message to all of the redskins fans who seem to find the negatives from the current redskins (even after a 52-17 win - has anyone scored more points this season - against anybody ?)
I understand where all the pessimism and negativity is coming from - it's from the years of disappointment in spite of all your blind support, but it's time to let go all of that. We are now at the beginning of a new era of redskins pride and glory. Do you remember the first time around ? Didn't you miss it during our struggles and disappointment these past decade or so ? But didn't you also take it for granted that the redskins were a sure lock every season to contend in the playoffs and win the superbowl. It was such a great feeling week in week out and no one questioned gibbs - even after a tough loss , and especially after a blowout. When will you start believing in the team again - after the giants win ? after an eagles win ? after a playoff berth? after a superbowl win ?

I guess I understand the loyalties to individual players from before the second gibbs era (ramsey, arrington) because supporting those players was the only positive during the last decade, but it's time to let go and be redskins fans again - by supporting the whole team and not being critical of the coaching staff for what you may feel may be mistakes. Gibbs may not be around too long, so enjoy the redskins now while you can - just think, the redskins can win against any team in the league - that's how far we've come in just one year.

All excellent points, funandgunner, and I agree wholeheartedly with most of them. However, there will always be room and justification on this board for criticism of the team in any form, particularly now that what is ostensibly the largest Redskins fan site has essentially become a PR tool of the team. As this is a Redskins fan website, there will always be an overwhelming number of supporters versus critics of the team, but many of us shift from one side of that debate to the other, and that makes us no less of a fan than anyone else. In fact, the reason many of us ARE so critical of the team is because we have such a passion for the team.

Even as the team and its fans appear to be headed towards the most successful season in recent memory, there will always be room for improvement, and therefore, criticism. After all, nobody ever achieved success without constantly casting a critical eye upon all their work, whether that work was a success or a failure. Nor would we understand why the team succeeds or fails unless we apply that same critical analysis to every little move they make.

Besides, that's what makes this place so much fun!

That's always one thing that always gets me about message boards. The really off kilter members seems to come around to feast when it suits them but when things don't go their way they are nowhere to be seen. It'll be funny to see how many of our newest members that have 56 in their usernames sorta slid into oblivion if Arrington starts playing more. Nothing to complain about so I'd bet the attrition rate will be close to 80% Message boards aren't just for complaining guys!

FRPLG · 10-24-2005, 09:55 AM

I am glad steveo395 didn't kill Brunell.

It's okay to question what gibbs does, but it should be noted that he has a better track record than mostly all that's in the football business. I would think twice to publicly go out on the record and criticize him - even though he is human and makes mistakes - i doubt that there are few people that can come close to his football smarts, work ethic, courage, and intuition - the last one being the most important. It took him until the last 4 minutes in cowboys game to get back into his groove, but it started when he choose brunnell instead of ramsey. He was always known to make the critical decision at the right time, even though it went against the grain of thought (that takes some cajones - which is street talk for courage

).

And I know you may thinking I'm jumping on the bandwagon, but in the offseason I was posting using this same message name (funandgunner) on the message boards on nfl sportsline defending gibbs, the moss trade, their moves to get campbell (just wait to see how that turns out - i bet he will be a superbowl qb), and the redskins in general. Anything gibbs touches seems to turn to gold - not immediately, but eventually. Before you criticize gibbs for anything, really think things through because do you really think you know more about football than gibbs ?
