The Gibbs Hypocrisy!

The truth of the matter is that Gibbs lied. I have respect for the man, 3 Superbowls won, etc., but he still lied. He told Patrick, Brunell, and all of us that Ramsey was the starter. And with the flimsiest of excuses, he benches him, and puts in his hand-picked boy. A boy, whom I might add, still hasn't admitted he was playing hurt last year.

Interesting, now Joe Gibbs is a liar.

People are fallable. Gibbs is a person, therefore he is fallable. He has explained to us how hard it is for him to make this change, but apparently he felt a change is needed.

I'm sure that this has nothing to do with him trying to "prove he's still got it." He wants to win football games. He's not in this for the money, he's in this for pride. Not for personal pride, but for pride of the organization. He already won 3 Super Bowls, what did he have left to prove?

Yeah, fallable....but that doesn't make him a liar as our friend suggested.

But this will all be settled come monday night, it's just a matter of time!

i highly doubt it will all be settled after one night.

I have a feeling it will be ugly, I know I am going out on a limb with that but thats how I feel.

Thats easy, we will just call the opposing coach and tell him to play his secong and third string players, that should get Brunell going in pre-season form!

Anyone can crack jokes, but sarcasm requires a certain degree of intelligence.

Touche!

Again, I agree with the fact that Ramsey got yanked to early if it was for the season, but...

I don't recall Ramsey scoring to many points in the Dallas game last year. If everyone is going to jump on Brunnel if he doesn't score many points, and we are comparing Brunnel to last year, then compare Brunnel to the Ramsey game agains Dallas last year when Monday gets here.

I think that some of us are letting our emotions cloud our logic here. I don't think that it was the turn over(s) that caused Ramsey to be sent to the bench and Brown sent packing, but the timing of the turnovers.

Ramsey was given total support for the entire off season and preseason. He was then, because of his uneven number of turnovers, given the ultimatum to protect the ball against the Bears. He didn't. I'm sure this fact was stressed between every drive. Still, he didn't.

At halftime, can anyone here guess what might have been stressed in the locker room? Does anyone remember what happened on the first play out of the locker room after half time? That is why Brown is gone.

Ramsey is on the bench and Brown is gone because Gibbs told them to protect the ball, and they didn't. He is the boss. Period.

While It is absolutely true that Brunell had an overall lower QB rating last year than PR (74.8 vs 63.0), the turnover stat is way off balance.

PR threw only 14.77% more passes than MB (272 vs 237), but had 83.33% more INT's.

A mediocre QB sure aint going to win you many games, but he can lose them very quickly.

you're forgetting brunells fumbles including ones returned for touchdowns. meaure TOs, not just ints. you also forgot to mention ramsey had 42.8% more TDs.

The TD % is not nearly as skewed as the INT %.

The TD % for PR is 3.7% and 3.0% for MB. Not that big a diff., compared to INT's

thats still 23.3%, i'd say thats a huge difference.

No shit it's a discussion forum. But all I see is back and forth about the same subject. Move on. Let's focus on beating the Cowboys. Why don't you go to extreme skins since you know so much about it. Stop whining while you're at it.

look, you're whining about other people whining. If you don't want to read it, DON'T, but please don't be offensive just because you have nothing better to do.
