Ramsey wants to be traded (merged)

[RedskinRat]

I still believe that there is more to this than a simple yank of a QB.

Coach Gibbs knows what he's doing, because he's done it all before. He has people around him that he trusts implicitly, he takes their advice where it's needed to fill in a blank or provide more evidence for his hunch.

Bottom line: I trust the Coach, he has the pedigree.

But I still can't wait until Campbell starts for us some day.

just a small test of your faith: did everyone support the coach 110% in keeping Brunell for all of the 9 games last year?

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY....NO, I WAS LIVID AT HIM ALLOWING BRUNNELL TO STAY IN THE GAME BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I FELT THAT HE WAS TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF CONTINUITY GOING EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARED THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN HIM 9 GAMES TO DO SO, BUT SO BE IT....THAT WAS HIS FIRST SEASON AND HE NOW HAS HAD THE REMAINDER OF 04-05 TO LOOK AT BOTH QUARTERBACKS, 2005-2006 SCRIMMAGE/PRE-SEASON GAMES NOW TO MAKE THAT CALL AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS HE HAS MADE THE CALL TO START BRUNNELL.

thanks for being honest, hope there's no reason people wouldn't be. after this week, i don't think QB continuity is a major concern for coach Gibbs. and people here constantly remind us that it's not his first season, because he has 3 Super Bowl rings etc. etc.

i do consider last year his first season BACK in a new NFL, and he'll need time to adjust (as many years as he wants in my opinion). but then what still has me worried is where was his first year lesson learned??

guess only Gibbs could answer my question, and he did.

"Gibbs wouldn't second-guess himself as some are in asking why the coach didn't make the change in the preseason to get Brunell more work.
"I don't really deal in the hindsight thing," he said. "In pro sports, you can't go back and think about the past, you have to deal with the future and base your decisions on what you think is best.""

You know what, I didn't like it but I respected the decision.

You can't blame all the offensive woes on Brunell for that stretch. We had problems across the board. The offensive line, playcalling, schemes, execution, etc.

To say the entire team was sparkling and Brunell was the only thing dragging down the team just isn't accurate.

Absolutely not. I wanted a change well before game 9; well before our season was essentially shot. It was pure agony watching that pitiful offense with Brunell at the helm last year. I had come to the conclusion that he would never be yanked and was shocked when he finally put Ramsey in. Like a fool, I thought that the move to Ramsey really meant something, like maybe Gibbs was finally seeing what all the rest of us had seen all season long in that Brunell was a bust. Obviously, Gibbs' awakening was short-lived.

Absolulty not, I didn't even support the trade for the guy!

[illdefined]

as great a coach as he'll always be, last season proved Gibbs is a mortal man ie fallible

so why the wash, rinse, repeat?

[VTSkins897]

it's always something with those redskins huh?

[12thMan]

Man, this is going to be the most watched Redskins game, perhaps, since our last Superbowl.

i'd agree with some of that but ugh, i certainly remember the "quality" of his passes all last season..
