I'm a little surprised Gibbs didn't wait until Monday night, at the last possible moment, to make the announcement publicly.

The quote " hopefully he will be ready to go " dosent exactly make me feel to confident. If hes not 100%, he shouldnt be out there, in my opinion. I mean, I dont know how Brunell feels, so its just speculation... but either Gibbs dosent trust Ramsey right now, or Brunell is afraid to lose his job. Whoever it is just better get the job done.

I'm thinking maybe Ramsey didn't impress Gibbs enough this week in practice.

3 INTs will not get you the starting job. Period.

How many TD's has Brunnell personally handed to the opposing defense in a little over a game and a half? Answer 2, How many passes over 20yd's? 1, what is his QB rating 67.3%, Ramsey had to come in and try to clean up Brunnell's mess, and he did something Brunnell hasen't done, move the team up and down the field, as well he did it without the ability to work with the first team in practice, and having a game under his belt, Ramsey is the better QB hand's down, he need's to be on the field to get acclimated with the new system. We can blame Ramsey for the INT's all we want, but the fact is Brunnell is the one who surrendered 7 point's with his INT, which put us in a hole to begin with, I also seem to remember us losing by 6 point's, Bottom line if Brunnell is the veteran and that's why he was brought here, then HE shouldn't be making these mistakes, Ramsey on the other hand givin a fair chance to play, will take the job from Brunnell, but he need's experience in this offense.

Rather have some sort of offense and interceptions than little dump passes and fumbles like Brunell has done.

Maybe I'm biased (See, my screen name), but I think that last week's performance was a fluke. Ramsey came out last week throwing deep and confidently (a la Skins-Titans 2002) and hoped to impress. Instead, he made poor judgments and got picked. So, Brunell starts.

I still strongly stand by my screen name and believe that Ramsey will be a Pro Bowler.

What do you call the preseason then?

A quarterback adjusting to a new offense and new head coach.

I have not heard a single person on this site question Ramsey's abilities. Perhaps, all those who once praised him as the next Joey T. will jump off the bandwagon now, but I'm not going to.

we should have a point/counterpoint between Ramseyfan and Brunellfan. All we need now is someone with the screenname Hasselbeckfan

First thing in the Giants game- Ramsey gets sacked. This is after the defense did a pretty decent job of protection.

The thing I really dont like about Ramsey at this point in his career is that he holds the ball way too long, and makes bad decisions. Brunell is a more savy veteran and I think he is what we need this year. Plus he is more mobile than Ramsey by far. The only time Ramsey ever runs is when a huge hole opens in front of him. If u watched when Brunell was running and Portis threw the block, he made the right decision to keep going and get the first down.

Im also under the impression that if we are in a position where we have to have Ramsey or Brunell win the game for us, we are in trouble. We are running the ball and stopping the run. That should = wins for us this season.

Ramsey cant make multiple TOs in the red-zone and hope to play for Gibbs.

Not I. And downfield passes followed by INT's is DEFINITELY not Gibbs football. Even Riggins, who was not a fumbler, earned a spot on the bench at the end of his career after a long run in a critical situation - the ball was knocked out of his hand and turned over. Gibbs hates turnovers more than anything. Three turnovers in less than a half sounds an alarm on a Gibbs team.

Here we go again .....
