I've said it before and I'll say it again. Brunell wasn't brought in to be a gunslinger, he was brought in to manage the game and not turn the ball over.

For the most part he's done his job and he's still settling into the offense, just like everyone else on that side of the ball.

I'm not saying Brunell is playing great, because he's not, he definitely has room for improvement. Is he playing poorly though? Poor enough to be benched for an inexperienced strong-armed backup who has an even worse grasp of the offense and a much higher propensity for throwing INT's?

Does anyone actually remember the Giants game? Ramsey came in and threw 3 INT's in one half of football. 3 INT's!

We have enough turnover problems right now, the last thing we need is Ramsey coming in and throwing darts to the other team 2-3 times per game. Ramsey played poorly all preseason and it carried right over to the regular season. He's not ready, if he was he'd be in there without question.
