I'm Not Sticking By Gibbs

I am fully supportive of Gibbs.. That means I think he is the right man to set the direction for the team and the level of professionalism that his team has lacked for a long time.

That being said, I don't know what he is waiting for to make a QB change. Maybe once the team is either destined to finish below .500 or is out of logical playoff contention (which is getting strikingly close) he will insert Ramsey to see what he can do. While I don't think Ramsey is 'the answer' and will magically make things happen, he cannot do any worse than Brunell..

For all the people who want to point out Ramsey from the Giants game, let's be factual about the impact that Brunell has had on the team so far. He has accounted for, directly or indirectly (teams scoring immediately after a Brunell turnover) for 41 points scored against the Redskins. 41 points scored against us are a result of his play. No team can be successful with those numbers. None of Ramsey's 3 INT led to a Giants score.

98 points (those scored by the Brunell led offense) - 42 points (those points scored off of Brunell)= 56 net points, or 8 points per game. WAY TO GO MARK!

Thanks, you articulated my point better than I had.. He has led us to a net touchdown and two point conversion per game. I highly doubt that Ramsey would do that poorly..

this is my take on why i think gibbs is sticking with brunnell i think brunnells skills have faded some since he was younger but i dont think there gone personally i think his biggest problem is an utter lack of confidence and that is something that can return with time in the system i also believe that ramsey has the same problem right now and gibbs believes that brunnell being a veteran is the most likely to get in a groove and start moving this offense i could be wrong but if brunnell stays the starter i think we will see a signifigant improvement the second half of the season (not that he could be much worse) my point is that brunnell was once one of the best passers in the leauge and seven games in a brand new system with an offensive coaching staff that has been out of the leauge for so long is not enough time to say with any certainty that he can no longer play in the nfl.
