It's not to say that he doesn't say things privately that he doesn't publicly - of course that is the case and that is entirely appropriate.
Here we have a definite statement from Joe about the quarterback situation. There is no way that he then goes behind the scenes and then says anything that contradicts that.
Joe is as honorable and good hearted a man as I know and he is honest. I know you didn't mean to say otherwise, but that statement might have led people to be confused about that.

I agree that Gibbs is an honest man, but after 23 years of dealing with them from leading teams in two different sports, he knows how to work the media. Yes, he is showing that Brunell has his full support, which he should, but we don't know how much he may be "challenging" him in practice. Plus, Mark has been in the league and he knows how it works. It is very hard to believe that his struggling is from a lack of commitment to work as hard as possible. He knows what Ramsey can do. I think Brunell with really look improved on Sunday, due to his drive to play better, combined with scheme adjustments to maximize all of the players' talents better.
