As far as the hit and fumble on Ramsey goes, why are we go backing and forth on how it looks on the stat sheet and so forth? The fact is, he got hit very hard, and he fumbled - that's football!! Should it have been a penalty - of course. It was a very physical game and sometimes, unfortunately, these type of 'hits' get overlooked. The thing to really see here is that it seems like Ramsey has a penchant for these types of errors, whether they are of his own doing or not. And that's the thing the concerns Gibbs the most.

Beyond that, I've been a Ramsey supporter for the most part. But in my opinion, the offfense just runs a little smoother when Brunell is in there. It seems like the defense wasn't keying in on Portis very much and freed him up a little more. He just seems to command the offense a little more.

Now I don't won't to defend Brunell here, but I'm sure this is the most he's played with the first team offense this year. Seeing that Ramsey takes about 90% of the snaps in practice. Maybe, just maybe with a full week of game planning and practicing with the first team, things would have looked a little different for 'Scott' Brunell.

The only way I think Gibbs will solve this QB dillima, that he has created, is to trade either Ramsey or Brunell. And it's very unlikely that he will trade the latter of the two.
