Brunell Starting

When did I ask for that?

Don't blame TAFKAS, it was me.

And Brunell said it in jest.

sorry, my bad, and even in jest, with his past, maybe joking about it isn't a great idea...

Well there goes two seasons down the tubes.

Don't think that if Brunell stinks up the joint Gibbs won't have a shorter leash on him either. Gibbs plain and simple does not like mistakes and I understand a little better what transpired now, and even though I still don't agree with it there is a lot of football left to be played so don't count anyone out yet!!!!! Our new backup may not be finished with our team yet. :)

Gibbs absorbed 10 games worth of mistakes, as long as they were from Mark.

Well I have gone on record as saying I don't think last year was all Brunell's fault. And regardless of the fact that it was against 2nd stringers this preseason Brunell showed that he still makes good decisions and has some zip on his passes. I was happy to see that Brunell could still play this game and was pleased to see that we had a solid backup QB who could step in when called upon.

Well now he's been called upon and I'll be driving the Brunell Bandwagon with Matty riding shotgun. I'll be in a neighborhood near you next Tuesday morning to pick up the Redskins fans that want to get on board.

In retrospect, we shouldn't be surprised by Ramsey's benching, didn't we post it on these very boards, wasn't this mentioned in chat.....Gibbs won't tolerate costly mistakes....the thing that caught my eye in the Post article was, "But Ramsey showed a penchant to commit turnovers at critical times."
Gibbs wants to win and made his decision......I'll support my coach and team.........all I want to do is BEAT DALLAS.........I feel bad for Ramsey, but when all I read was how confident Ramsey was supposed to be this year, but when I saw him in actual games, it didn't appear he actually had that confidence, he still had "happy feet" and committed some bad mistakes........ Remember, it could be worse, we could have Tony Romo or Drew Henson as our backup QBs...............

:dallas:

I trust Joe Gibbs.
People are freaking out about this.
It comes down to winning this coming week. Gibbs believes Brunell is our best shot at beating the Cowboys on MNF. We could have a different QB another week. People need to relax around here or find another team. I like this team we have better than the last 10 or so. They seem to be 'a team'. I'm glad we're not signing castoffs like Deion, Bruce Smith, etc. Also remember we won a SB that during the season we had several different starting QB's. If ya wanna trash Gibbs then go ahead and if ya wanna throw in the towel between wk1-wk2 I ain't gonna stop ya. But I've been here for the long haul and I'll continue to support Joe Gibbs and his organization. GO REDSKINS and the real fans!!!

what makes Brunell not a 'castoff' like Sanders, George or Smith? a couple preseason games?

Word, I mean why cry over it this is why Gibbs is here. He's the coach, he's the F$#@ing man, he 's the guy who's lifted up the lombardi trophy over and over. We hired him to make the decisions that others wouldn't, couldn't under danny snyder. He 's made the call now let's see if he brings the wood.

This hurts because we like PR because he went through hell with Spurrier. However this doesn't mean he's gonna be the underdog hero like Rudy, I mean this isn't f@#$ing hollywood this is the NFL. When you don't meet the standard set by your boss someone else gets a shot no matter what the fans, the Ape Terry Bradshaw, media, or anybody says.

Support the general...let the streets flow with the blood of the non believers.

Right on, man! Preach it, Brotha!!!

That sums it all up pretty nicely. :D

Really? He didn't mind Brunell serving up turnovers last season, and none were more costly than his turnovers against the Ravens, and I believe the Giants that led to 2 defensive TD's, which in turn we lost those games and those scores were the difference, and kept us out of the playoffs.
