Gibbs had a "rule" supposedly that you didn't lose your job due to injury. When Doug Williams came in and caught fire, the rule was out the window.
Schroeder fans were livid.
Then we won the super bowl, and they quieted down.
You may remember the last anyone really saw of old Jay was when we traded him to San Diego for one Jim (?) Lachey, who was really responsible (IMHO) for us winning the next super bowl.
My extended point here is that Joe is smart enough to admit (to himself at least) when he was wrong.
I am no Brunell fan, but I feel Ramsey looks like a fourth year rookie with no leadership skills.
He looks so worried about the INT he's holding the ball too long and making poor choices. He just wasn't maturing, not al least at NFL speed.
Brunell is clearly not the QB of the future, but neither was Ramsey.
Apparently, no other teams think so since you haven't heard any other interest in him if he left.
If Brunell takes us no where, put the rookie in around week 9.
Just my two cents.

Just to clarify Schroeder was traded to the Raiders, not the Chargers. Later Stan Humphries ended up with the Chargers, whom he led to a Superbowl, which they lost, I believe to the 49ers.
