I'm thinking Gibbs knew he needed to build Patrick back up a bit before throwing him in to the fire, and he also needed to grasp the offense better.

Putting him out there earlier in the year when he still didn't have a firm grasp of the offense could have buried his confidence even further and done more damage than good.

Absolutely Matty. It's quite possible that Ramsey was stinking up the joint in practice the first several weeks, but slowly improved to the point that the staff felt he was ready.

Considering who the announcers were I wouldn't put too much stock in that statement.

Balldinger (sp?) is worse than Maas if you ask me.

My brother and I were cracking up at the things he was saying all game long.

Baldinger sucks at announcing almost as bad as Hasselbeck sucks at quarterback. I hate them both. Hasselbeck, for all intents and purposes, embarrassed this team last season and Baldinger is just a moron.

We have to get good if only to avoid absolute morons like Balldinger and Maas. It's like asking which is worse, shit or poop? (kinda like the South Park election episode: either a turd sandwich or a douche bag...)

I thought it wouldn't happen until after the season, Gibbs must really feel comfortable with Patrick to make this decision so quickly. I definitely applaud this move.

I think this is good news from a stability point. In fact I was a bit shocked after I heard comments that Joe said Burnell wasn't done yet...what was that all about I had visions of us going through what we already experienced next season with the same result as this year .....I think the return of Jansen with help with Patrick's protection ......I also hope we get rid of Gardner and get us another WR. Coles is a keeper, playing hurt all year and playing hard.......he gets my respect...........
