That statement right there is a contender for the Schneed10 smackdown of the day award.
Some dumbass in Green Bay? Um at the time, that would have been Mike Holmgren. And at the time, he let Brunell go because HE HAD BRETT FAVRE. Who only led the team to a Super Bowl victory, of all things.
Jesus H Christ. I can't believe what I'm reading. But let's go with the Green Bay comparison for a minute. If Gibbs lets Ramsey go and Ramsey gets to the conference Championship game, while the QB Gibbs chose (doesn't matter if it's Brunell or Campbell) won us a Superbowl in the next few years, wouldn't you be happy? Seems the Green Bay comparison goes right to my argument.
If Ramsey is the one that goes on and wins a Super Bowl while we spin our wheels at QB, then I can see why we'd all be way up in arms over the decision. But like Holmgren, Gibbs is letting a QB go because he thinks the other QBs he currently has can win a Super Bowl. Time will tell if it's the right decision.
But if you're placing your money on Ramsey to win that one, you're in disagreement with just about every GM in the league.
