Will Saunders Affect Our QB Situation?

[MTK]

Other than the shotgun I really didn't see any big differences in the offense from this year compared to last. The big difference this year was Moss could actually make a defender miss making the WR screens an effective play.

I think people really overexagerrate Musgrave's "impact" on the offense.

What I saw was the involvment of the TE/hb, we really seemed to start dumping the ball off a lot more and using the backs out of the backfield, I suppose there was a little bit of everything going on with our offense this past season, hopefully that is soon to be rectified? And I believe it will be.

i don't think so i mean suaders already knows what brunell can do andhe is way more pactinte and accurate in the pocket patrick should be gone by the begining of next season because jason campell is way better

I can't wait to see Ramsey tear it up elsewhere.

We really haven't come to regret any of the players we've let leave so far under Gibbs, outside of maybe Pierce but Marshall has proved to be a more than capable replacement.

I think it's reasonable to say Marshall will be even better next year. Moreover, he's not nearly as expensive as Pierce, which will probably go a long way in us signing some key people this year.

It's time we made a total commitment to the QB situation that's going to benefit the team long term, and not continue to rely on short term fixes. The debate between Brunell and Ramsey has been an ongoing one since the arival of Gibbs, and based on what we know of the present situation, how can one conclude there's any prospect of Ramsey being the QB here at any point in time. He has consistently maintained he wants' to play. With Jason Campbell in line as the projected future starter and Ramsey in the final year of his contract, it's difficult to see where he fits in. It would seem unlikely he would sit for another year, become an unrestricted free agent at the end of next season free to sign with any team and the Redskins not be compensated in any way. It's not likely he's going to be the starting QB here, so it would be incumbent upon the team to seek value in a trade (if possible) rather than see him walk away to the highest bidder.
It's going to be interesting to see how the addition of Al Saunders will impact who will likely be the QB. As much as I have defended Brunell in the past and not completely dismissed him as being ineffective, watching him closely this year still (in my mind) raises some questions about his ability (or lack thereof) to make all the neccessary throws for an offense to consistently sustain drives over a sixteen game season. Without a doubt we will have growing pains starting the young QB and will probably take a slight step back. The question remains then, do we start another season with Brunell as the starter, or be willing to sacrafice maybe a chance at the play-offs in 06 for the sake of development? "TOUGH DECISION"

The offense played a large role in our 11 wins this year.

Last year I would agree the defense carried the team, but this year the offense improved to #11, averaged 22 points per game, produced a 1500 yard RB, a 1400 yard WR, a TE with over 70 catches, and a QB with over 3000 yards and 23 TDs.

The offense has alot of room for improvement obviously, but to totally discount the marked improvement they showed this year is just ridiculous.

[MTK]

offiss, you're baseing your opinion of the offense on 3 games??

C'mon man, the season is 16 games long. Look at the entire body of work and then judge. Portis was 4th in the NFL in rushing, Moss was 2nd in receiving yards...

No one is debating the fact the offense struggled down the stretch, but look at the injuries we had. Thomas, Brunell, Portis, they all started to pile up right at the end.

So I guess unless you're setting league records you're not doing a good job?

I guess only Shaun Alexander had a good season then.

If you go from the bottom 1/3 of the league in offense to the top 1/3, that's a pretty damn good improvement not matter what way you try to spin it.

Maybe that story doesn't spin good enough for Offiss.

Improvement for the rest of the team not Brunell, as I said before this team outperformed him.

Actually I am not a stat guy, I look at how a player contributes to his team and that can come in many different forms, but to some how say that because a player set a team record makes him elite, well maybe it does and maybe it doesn't, but if he's the only one being thrown to well that might change things a bit don't you think? It also might make a defenses job a little easier to stop us knowing Brunell has a 1 track mind.

Bottom line whoever want's to believe that Brunell is a good QB can, I don't care, that's your buisness, if you some how want to believe that wasen't Brunell out there the last 3 games go ahead. He had 4 big games all season lost 1 and Ramsey played half of the other.

If you feel his performance in the last 3 games is somehow in any way indicative of a quality NFL QB, let alone a QB that is going to lead us to a SB congradulations with that and good luck!

Again a false statement. Doesn't matter if you're a stats guy or not, Brunell had one of his better seasons this season and improved by leaps and bounds from last season. Anyone who actually argues that fact needs serious help.
