Should Brunell be replaced? (merged)

I agree... I don't understand why everyone moistens their hanes-her-ways for Taylor Jacobs. I'd love it if Antonio Brown could step up and challenge for a recieving spot and actually catch balls thrown at him. Him and moss could be absolutely lethal.

I agree, and just because he had that bad game (catching the ball) in the pre-season shouldn't mean he dosen't get another opportunity.Sometimes players have games like that. remember Robert Royal two weeks ago?

I think brown would be a great compliment to moss. The speed would be absolutly unmatchable. I really wanted brown back ,not only for his return threat but for his receiving threat also. maybe i just like him too much but i really think he can be a solid receiver. I thought Brown was gonna be a great player on our team before the season started and i am happy he got another shot

Moisten their Hanes-her-ways? Now that's funny

Expect the Hanes-her-ways to be nice and dry from here on out.

As for Antonio Brown, yeah, you might as well try anything to get this offense going again.

Oh yeah? Tell that to Ramsey.

Brunell has been pretty average for the past six weeks, but there is no way Gibbs will take him out unless he is hurt. No chance. That being said I honestly would like to see Ramsey get his shot. Brunell will never take us where we want to go and Ramsey is outta here next year if we don't see him play again.

Anthony Chance · 12-11-2005, 10:15 PM

I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would even think to say such a thing. Brunell has been nothing but great to this organization. He is one of the most intellegent players in the league at the position, So what if he had a bad game, it happens to the best. Would you prefer Ramsey who routinely makes bad decisions and has no pocket presence what so ever. I've nevet seen a QB get sacked and it's not the O-lines fault. I don't feel comfortable when Ramsey is behind center. He continues to make questionable throws as he often throws passes based on where recievers are supposed to be, this is not Tulane. You have to be more aware.

Unless Brunell is hurt, Ramsey will do just fine on the bench until the season is over and we can get him out of here.

Our best chance at a run towards the playoffs will be with Brunell running the offense.

It seems as if someone needs to get over Brunell's performance last year, and start paying attention to this season.

We are over .500, when is the last time that Ramsey has lead a team to over .500 this late in the season.

Why switch now,gibbs has damaged Patricks confidence.Its time to trade Patrick and get what what we can for him.Going to Patrick would assure us of not making it to the playoffs

htownskinfan · 12-11-2005, 10:57 PM

I dont think theres anyway in hell gibbs will switch qbs,hes already shown his blind loyalty to brunell,Brunell has proven hes not the same qb from last yr,but I am very concerned with his last 2 games,he might have had a great qb rating last week,but to me,he just didnt seem the same,his accuracy was off and most of his completions were short passes,and today he stunk it up,but is that his fault or is it because our 2nd and 3rd receiver are hurt?,I dont know the answer to that,its probably a combination of things,Brunell deserves to stay as the starter but I hope if the situation calls for it Gibbs will stick in Ramsey to try and give the team a spark,having said all that ,my game ball today has to go to Brown for saving our ass with his kickoff return

VishsSkins · 12-11-2005, 11:04 PM

The thought of a QB switch should not even be entertained. Whatever Brunell is now, it is better than Ramsey and making a change would absolutely do no good. Many people are pointing to the last few games and saying that Brunell has not been playing well or putting up great numbers, but that has to do more with our playcalling and issues at the receiver position. The reason that he hasnt had 200yds passing in the last 4 games is that we have decided to run the ball a lot more and, aside from those two INTs in the first half, he has made good decisions. Brunell is doing exactly what is asked of him at this point in the season and should definitely not be benched.

wilsowilso · 12-11-2005, 11:14 PM

I think Brunell really turned it around this year, but it seems clear that we are a 50/50 bet at best to win against teams with a winning record. It will never happen, but I say go for the long shot and give Ramsey his last chance. He has the most potential to change this middle of the road offense. Ramsey would probably crash and burn, but I would rather roll the dice. A nice 9-7 season is what I fear. Would you like some more vanilla ice cream with that?

BigSKINBauer · 12-11-2005, 11:53 PM

speaking of QBs brett favre just led another game winning drive. He might not be back next year and this is his second to last prime time game. next week he is on MNF and that could be the last time we see my man on national television

FirstandTen · 12-12-2005, 12:03 AM

Brunell is the starter. Nuff Said

railcon56 · 12-12-2005, 02:11 AM

good point

railcon56 · 12-12-2005, 02:12 AM

Quarterback Mark Brunell had thrown three interceptions, including two in the red zone, and had a 22.5 passer rating. but Ramsey hasn't worked with these receivers so i dont know....but scoring 3 points against the cowboys and Giants wont work
