Am I crazy?

To ask the question, what does Gibbs's see in Brunell that we don't see is a rhetorical question that really doesn't demand an explanation because by now we should all know why Brunell is in the game. With that said, when I you look at Ramsey from a mentally tough standpoint, the same dilemma keeps entering my mind. Turnovers, sacks and more turnovers. Gibbs is not having it and rightfully so. He has patience with the passing game because the offensive line is not consistent along with Brunell. Brunell's best days have passed him by but he does know how to avoid the sack and throw the ball away all too well and that's what Gibbs wants. Another opportunity to run a play. If you look at our time of possession, it's usually equal or above our opponents which means there is some consistency with ball management. I'm patiently waiting for an available veteran QB to become an free agent so this team can return to greatest because Ramsey is nowhere near Rothlisberger.

I wonder how "mentally tough" Brunell would be if he were handing the ball to Rock Cartwright or if he had only 5 pass blockers. Two different situations, two different outcomes.

Handing the ball has nothing to do with scrambling to avoid the sack. We all know that Ramsey would be starting if he were mobile and didn't hold on to the ball too long. The fact that Brunell's assignment has been to manage the possession with handing off to Portis is not unique when you look at the Giants, Patriots or most of the successful teams. The offensive line will determine Portis's success and avoid stupid penalties. Brunell will stay in the game as long as he doesn't make a barage of mistakes that lose the game. It's not pretty, but that's where we are right now.

SUNRA, all those things you say that Brunell does is because he has experience. Ramsey has only started 16 games for his whole career. The jury is still out on him. The only way Ramsey can learn how to avoid sacks, and throw the ball away is to put him in and let him learn. He's not learning much from the sidelines.
