I think he has that spark that will allow him to be great. As for him managing the game at the end of last year, that's all Gibbs offense allowed for last year. You can't expect much more. The offense suffocated everyone on the team last season. I think Joe Gibbs held this team hostage last season with his playcalling and it broke our back.

Ironically, I agree with most of what you've said.. I guess we won't see if Gibbs allows him to be more than a game manager until the bullets start flying, but his playcalling screamed mistrust of both QBs.. I don't think the excuses about the competition last year hold much water.. Brunell was also in a new system, coming off an injury and had to adjust to a whole new team and still waxed Ramsey's ass.. It all boils down to trust, Gibbs still doesn't trust Ramsey as his QB to lead the team to the playoffs and Super Bowl..
