Quarterback Poll

DCD, glad I'm your hero. I compare the situation to Farve, he throws alot of tds and alot of picks, if green bay had any sort of defense, they would be a much better team. If you throw 2 or 3 picks, and score 3 tds doing it, you've already scored more then we have all year. And lastly, last year, ramsey threw 9 picks in 11 starts. Its a fair amount, but not abismal, the giants game was more of a fluke. He suddenly got this reputation for throwing alot of picks based of that one game. Remember portis was coughing up the ball a bunch at the beginning of the season and after 8 games he has four. Things tend to happen in spurts and even out over the year.

Moving the ball with an interception at the end of it is about as useful as a punt except the other team can usually run it back further. And it isn't simple or Ramsey would be starting. Your argument about the D is eaxactly why Gibbs is starting Brunell instead of Ramsey. He is afraid Ramsey will turn it over like he did in the preseason and the Giants game. Brunell doesn't give the ball away as much, Portis can pound the ball and the D can stop the other team. I don't like that formula either, it definitely ain't pretty, but it is what we've got.

My argument isn't about who is the better QB, btw. It is about the fact that I trust Gibbs to make the right decision at the right time. I don't have a problem with sticking Ramsey in there...if and when Coach Joe Gibbs, the architect of the only true Redskins dynasty, decides he is ready and is a marked improvement over Brunell. Who here has more experience? Who here is closer to the situation right now with all of the facts at their fingertips?

Over the first month Brunell accounted for more points than our opposition's offenses. He fumbled thre times that were returned for TD's and threw a pick returned for one.
