Funny you mention that, because it's been brought up here before (before you joined) that if Ramsey had been thrown into the fire like that there is the very real possibility that it would have destroyed him. And yet Gibbs chose not to put him through that...but people still want to believe Gibbs has personal vendetta against Ramsey.

Well, I thought of it when it happened. I was in Ramsey's corner but the handwriting was on the wall in preseason. The offense just wasn't working. Brunell or Ramsey...it wouldn't have made any difference.

I don't know that Joe planned it that way to save Patrick's confidence but it worked in his favor.

Schneed 10, sorry for the delayed response. I didn't see your post until now.

That statement right there is a contender for the Schneed10 smackdown of the day award.

Oh no! Not the dreaded smackdown award!

Some dumbass in Green Bay? Um at the time, that would have been Mike Holmgren. And at the time, he let Brunell go because HE HAD BRETT FAVRE. Who only led the team to a Super Bowl victory, of all things.

Yeah...and if you have two very good quarterbacks on your team the smart thing to do is to trade one?

Jesus H Christ. I can't believe what I'm reading.

You forgot the three exclamation points.

But let's go with the Green Bay comparison for a minute.

Let's not since the rest of your post involves hypotheticals based on the unsupported premise that a team with two good quarterbacks should trade one away.

ramsey is gone regardless of whatever's happen, so i have no idea why we're still devoting meaningless 200 post threads to him and if he is or isn't great. He played good in some games and average in more and now he may be a career backup who can't even get us a 5th round pick.

there are still people who swear jeff george can play, I know people get attached to certain players, but its over, he's gone, and its time to move on.

Nope.

The Packers got a 3rd and a 5th for Brunell. And I think they used the 3rd on Antonio Freeman. It doesn't hurt to have two good young QBs as the Packers had with Favre and Brunell.

But it also doesn't hurt to be able to use one to make your team better overall as the Packers were able to do by trading Brunell.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Can someone plllleeeaaaassssseeee tell me whether we would save money if we cut Brunell?

However, the Ramsey Bridge was burned before Saunders got here. He doesn't want to play here.

Joe Gibbs is a Hall of Fame coach. He may LET Saunders make the call. But Gibbs has the power.

Obviously. But don't you think this was decided when they met for 12 hours at Al Saunders' home before Al took the job?

No disrepect or anything but I started remembering some of the old 80's cartoons after I read this.

Like He-Man: " I - HAVE - THE - POWER" of greyskull or something like that.
And Thunder Cats: "THunder, THUNder, THUNDER CATS - HOOOOEEE"

I still think we should pursue the Ramsey for Abraham & the Jets 1st round pick.
