What this guy conveniently leaves out of this article is that at least half of us wouldn't question Gibbs' decision if (1) He wasn't the one who went out and overpaid for a washed up Brunell and (2) He hadn't shown patience with Brunnell for 9 freaking games last year and yanked Ramsey in the first freaking quarter! Gibbs historically stuck with his qbs, even through dismal times. So what's the difference this time? The difference is Gibbs is responsible for bringing the ancient one here, so Gibbs is still trying to save face. Remember when Gibbs told us last year that we hadn't seen the last of Brunnell? How could he say that after witnessing such horrible QB play? He said it, cause he was trying to save face after what 99% of all football fans criticized him for overpaying for Brunnell in the first place.

Nevertheless, you can't pick your family, and you can't pick your starting QB, so on Monday night Im rooting for the old fart while downing multiple Buds to ease the pain. Please Mr. Brunnell, please don't return to your sucky play this week, hold off for just a couple of weeks, PLEASE! Go Skins. 100th post, god I waste a huge part of my day on here.....

He said that because he knew Brunell was playing hurt and playing in an outdated offensive scheme.

Since then the offensive line has been vastly improved, we have speed at WR, he's healthy, the offensive schemes have been tweaked, the running game is improved, and most of the guys including Brunell are entering their 2nd year in the system and have a better understanding of what is expected of them.

When you put all these factors together, I don't think it's too crazy to think that Brunell can be a much better QB THIS year.

So how is saving face by playing a QB who is washed up the two do not go together. What your saying is that Gibbs is saying screw the other 51 players, screw the owner, screw all the fans I'm playing Brunell to make me look better and don't care if we win games it will make me look better.

No, Im saying that he stuck with Brunnell through 9 horrific games last year because it was Joe Gibbs who went out and overpaid for him, so Joe gave him chance after chance after chance. The fans went nuts, because Brunnell was sooooo bad, that the fans finally booed the guy out of his last starting game. Now, Joe is going back to Brunnell again and he is giving him yet another chance, in the hopes that somehow someway he can show us that he did not make a huge free agency blunder. Ask yourself this: If Mark Brunnell was not brought in by Joe Gibbs himself, would he still be with the Skins and would he be getting this second opportunity? I think the answer is clearly "No".

You can absoultly compare Brown and Ramsey. You can't have drastically different standards for players on the team. One guy turned the ball over and cost us points as did the other. Whether one is a 4th year QB or a 2nd year kick returner doesn't matter. The message has been sent. DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER! If you say that and then ignore it in certain cases it can be a big morale killer. A good example is Nemo. Nemo looked like a beast in pre-season. He was pretty much heralded all over this board. We thought he'd make the team and play. Everyone was worried he'd take Rocks spot because he outplayed him a bit. But he couldn't control the ball much in preseason either and in the end he made the team but Nemo was inactive in game one. Message: DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER! Even in preseason.

Your right, you know another good example is Brunells 9 turnovers in 9 games and giving up 2 defensive TD's, Gibbs really showed him! Double standard? NOOOOOOOOOO, not Gibbs.

every coach in the league has different rules for different players... LT could smoke crack and parcells wouldn't care, other rookies would be off the team for sleeping in a meeting.

So that makes it right? Maybe Joe doesn't look at it that way.

Oh, Joe looks at it that way alright. John Riggins was a BIG partier, Joe accepted it even though he didn't like it. Sean Taylor runs around with criminals and has pending felony charges, but beleive me, Joe ain't cuttin Mr. Taylor. It just depends on who you are, different rules for different people. Joe likes Brunnell, a veteran, whom he paid big bucks to, so Brunnell plays by a different set of rules than Ramsey does. If you don't believe it, wait until Brunnell has 2 turnovers in one game, I bet he stays in the game and isn't yanked.

The score was 9-7. The Bears got a TD off Browns fumble. They made the extra point. TD + Extra Point = 7 points. I fail to see how Ramsey gave them any points.

Ramsey's last fumble cost us the chance to at least kick a fieldgoal therefore most likely denying us points.

I think the point being missed is this:

Ramsey had 3 turnovers in 3 possesions and hasn't looked any better, this presason or any of the last 3 years, than his first snap in the NFL.

Like several others on this forum, I like Ramsey and want it to work out for him, but I tell my employees something all the time: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity, not loyalty. Nothing Ramsey has done with this team, in the length of his career here, has pointed to him doing anything different than being sub-par and turning the ball over.

I hope everything works out, but I am not going to thrash Gibbs over the decision.

I think it's ironic that we were calling for Mark Brunell to be benched in week 2 last season because of his poor play in week 1 against the Bucs, even with the win. Now Gibbs makes the tough call and we're calling for his (Gibbs) head.

Here's how it breaks down. I don't like the decision, because last year Ramsey lead our team to a few wins and some great games against the best teams in the leage, even with the outdated offensive schemes and players that brunell got killed with. Fuck the first half of the first game of this year. Mark Brunell has done nothing outside of the preseason to earn any merit from anyone on the Redskins. Hell I could go out there and just not turn the ball over. I could throw it out of bounds and at the ground in front of my feet and finish the game with not TO's but no offense either.

I think this article is BS because it implies that if you don't agree with the decision being made, or even question it, then you are ignorant of facts... but then it gives no real facts. This asshole got bought out by the skins and is spreading propaganda to sway public opinion. Do you think they would've posted an article asking if JG had lost his freaking mind on Redskins.com?

I'm not saying that's how I feel, but don't go on my teams website and act like you know some shit by a feeble attempt at alienation to those who oppose a particular decision.
