I know some don't understand Gibbs' dedication to his QB's, but he's going to stand by whoever is starting through thick and thin.

The same will go for Ramsey once the change is made. I think once the change is made, it's going to be for good, as long as Ramsey doesn't bomb that is. That's why I think Gibbs is standing by Brunell so strongly. He's not going to flip-flop between the two. Right now Brunell is his guy. If the offense continues to struggle and the team is out of it, he'll to go Ramsey and Ramsey will be his guy, possibly for the long-term and we could very well see the last of Brunell's starting days.

He's going to be an expensive backup/mentor to Ramsey, but I believe Gibbs had this thought in the back of his mind when the move was made. Brunell's deal was basically a 3-4 year deal, and I'm sure Gibbs considered it was a strong possibility that Ramsey would overtake him at some point, maybe not this quickly though.

My prediction is Ramsey will be the starter week 1 next year without a doubt.
