What's your take on giving him a full start so he does not have to try and win the game on every throw, which by the way he almost did? He is one Rod Gardner drop at the goaline from us all being silent.

You know, that last line is a good point.. IF Gardner hadn't dropped that TD pass you could definitely remove 1 INT from Ramsey (the next pass) and probably take away another one (the pass he forced late in the 4th) giving him 1 TD and 1 INT. The way someone put it last week (maybe Wilbon) is the Redskins have a QB who can't make the throws but can see the field (Brunell) and one who can't see the field but can make the throws (Ramsey). Seems like Gibbs thinks the first is the better option. I would rather take my chances to open up the offense with Ramsey and put him in position to not make mistakes (like the Jets did with Pennington his 1st year) and hopefully open up some room for Portis to run.
