Re: QB controversey in 2005?
I voted yes, but for a different reason than most of you guys. I think that the press will not allow us not to have a QB controversy. If there really isn't one, they will invent one. That is a way to sell papers, and I believe they will do it just to rile us (and Ramsey) up.
I think that Gibbs brought in Campbell for three reasons.
1. Gibbs knows that Brunnel can't push for the starting job again. He needed to bring in a top notch QB to push Ramsey to his full potential.
2. Ramsey could decide that he wants to play free agent next year, and if his year is not great for the Skins, we may not have the money in 2006 to keep him. Locking him up on a long term deal would be a big risk if he does not play well in his fourth year.
3. Gibbs believes we need 2 quality QB's at all times to compete for the superbowl. He knows that almost every year, the QB goes down for a game or two and the backup needs to be able to pull out a win if needed.
I don't think that Ramsey losing a few games will get a controversy brewing, but Ramsey losing a few and then getting hurt... then Campbell wins one in his place... look out!
Just for the record, Ramsey is my guy and I think he is going to have a career year.
