Wrong! Gibbs has proven he can win with a nobody at QB, see Rypien, Williams, and Schroeder.
I was the one who said that although I hated the Brunell move he wasen't nearly as bad as he was made out to be, his biggest problem was Gibbs. My contention has been that Gibbs would be much more successfull if he gave the same attention to Ramsey that he's given to Brunell.
By the way I haven't heard anyone say it yet, but how great was Brunells decision to throw that ball on the 2 point conversion? Absolute stupidity! He had an easy score if he ran it in, there was one guy with a blocker on him he would have waltzed in, or he could have waited for Patten to clear, instead he makes a hurried throw with no one around him, you never throw the ball in a situation like that if the opportunity to run it in presents itself.
Bottom line regardless of Brunells success it was a stupid deal in the fact we could have obtained him for a lot less money, and no draft picks. so yes it was a stupid deal, especially for a coach who has proven he doesn't need a big name QB to win.
Are we judging Brunell off of 1 game? A game that he lost, which regardless of the circumstances he could have won all by himself late in the game.
I really like what I have been seeing lately from Brunell, but I think it's more of Gibbs starting to come around than anything, which is the biggest plus we can all take solice in.
