The fourth quarter showed me that Gibbs does not trust Brunnell at all. Look, this is good playcalling if you've got no passing game. Gibbs has clearly recognized this, and he's trying to win without the pass (which is pretty incredible given Gibbs Air-Coryell pedigree).
Which of course begs the question: couldn't Ramsey do at least this? Is he so bad in practice that Gibbs is afraid to start him? Is he so fragile that Gibbs is saving him until the o-line becomes the Hogs, mark II? I say give the kid a shot. He won't have to do much given our D and Portis, but at least we'll begin to learn if we've got a good QB there, or if we have to look to the draft or free agency again.
