I don't think we need to look at Brunell as much as an indictment of Ramsey as much as a desire by Gibbs to have a veteran QB.. Let's be realistic, Gibbs probably has 3-4 years as head coach in him. This year, Ramsey isn't likely to go from Spurrier's coaching and a 4-7 record to a Super Bowl QB. Brunell has been to 2 AFC Championship games and 3 Pro Bowls.. I think people are way too much into the gloom and doom of the demise of Ramsey instead of looking at what Gibbs is trying to accomplish. The Portis trade screams "WIN NOW".. Trading 2nd & 3rd round picks for proven, productive players that can win games for you this season are the acts of a coach who isn't interested in building, just winning and doing it soon.

To answer the thread, I think the Redskins would rather have Ramsey, they know what he can do and there are fewer questions about him than there are about Leftwich..
