He wants to win, first and foremost. If he feels Brunell will give us a better chance of winning, then by God, I'll stand behind him on that.

I have to agree with you. Think about all Gibbs' qb controversies in the past with Schroeder, Williams, and Rypien. Yet each decision ended up for the best. Sure, I don't understand making the switch so early, but I also know that in 1 1/2 quarters of play, Ramsey was intercepted once and fumbled twice (one of them was recovered and the other wasn't really his fault since he got clotheslined). Sure he can move the offense, but his decision making was very questionable. Although I'd be inclined to give him another chance, I don't want to risk it against Dallas next week. Brunell wasn't spectacular, but he did well overall considering that most of his reps were probably with backups in the practices. Give him time and he should develop chemistry with the starting receivers. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the sudden switch scares me, but I'm not about to criticize Gibbs when I don't attend practices and team meetings and see stuff behind the scenes.
