If you have to send a message that turnovers will not be tolerated, and since you can't cut your QB for fumbling, Rock should be made an example of. That said, since everyone loves Rock for his work ethic and character, there's a good chance that we'll be able to re-sign him in a week or so.

I know it won't happen, but its a great way to send a message to the players that TOs won't be tolerated.

How could you do that and not cut Brunell? Hell how could you bench ramsey for turning it over, and not bench brunell for the same thing?

I'm not trying to start shit and I agree that Brunell is doing a great job for the most part, but I'm just saying it would be extremely hypocritical to cut cartwright for 1 fumble, and not punish brunell for 2. Even though cartwright's went for a TD, how the hell was he supposed to control that?

Uh. Jansen got beat by Allen too. Obvisouly, the guy was pumped. I didn't hear a word from you Samuels' bashers when he didn't allow a sack against the all too hyped DE DeMarcus Ware.

Protecting the ball with both hands is a start.

quite simply, no

Give Nemo a shot! We didn't sign him not to use him. He showed some balls catching that kickoff too.

I guess we're forgetting that Nemo also had a tendency to fumble in the preseason.

Same old same old out of Brunell, 2 more fumbles today, which does happen, in fact it happens every game with him, Gibbs biggest knock on Ramsey was his TO's and how they will not be tolerated, unless your name is Brunell or Portis, or should I say GIBBS BOY'S. Portis had another stellar running performance today, as usual he run's through the tackles like he's not wearing a cup, at least we started to get him the ball on occasion useing sweeps, I only saw 1 screen to him and the RB screen was there all day, I saw him tackled by the turf monster 3 or 4 times, it doesn't seem the extra weight is helping if a player's shadow is capable of tackling him. Didn't Portis have carreer day's running against the Chiefs before he became a skin? I wonder what happened between now and then? Oh yea Portis had a boo boo on his calf today I forgot.


What are the odd's Portis scores a TD on the ground before the season end's?

Yawn! I'll take Brunell over Ramsey at this point. Your argument is weak at best.

True. Hopefully Betts returns soon.

I, too, am starting to wonder why it's ok for Brunell to fumble, but not ok for Ramsey. BTW - Brunell had more than his share of fumbles last year too. To paraphrase a line from George Orwell's "Animal Farm" - Every player is equal, but some are more equal than others, right?

Brunell is playing far better than he did last year, which isn't really saying much. But those fumbles are becoming an increasing concern.

I agree...I'd take Brunell any day....I don't see why people are still argueing this.

Cause Brunell is a much smarter player, instead of throwing it away, or running for a first down, Ramsey tires to air it into double coverage.

Hey everybody, Ramsey got benched because he threw too many games away ie INTs. Neither took all the blame for being sacked because of poor pass protection.
