Who would you start?

I want to see what Ramsey can do if he actually had some protection and time to throw.

I agree. I was really sold on Ramsey. I just want to see what the kid can do. This might be one think that Gibbs is wrong on. He's a great coach but he isnt perfect. Near perfect but not 100%.

Im for PRam. Hopefully the battle will make training camp more interesting - I hope Gibbs gives PRam a fair shot at unseating Brunell.

Oh no! Not THIS again!!!

again whoever takes the field on 9/12 will be the correct choice

Slap me around and call me "stupid", but I'm hoping there's a true and fair battle for the job. May whomever has the best camp win.

WE have to trust Gibbs. I'm SURE He'll make the right choice ! Afterall , he is the best coach in the NFL

Yes, I know Gibbs will make the right choice, and I certainly trust him, but that wasn't the question. I asked who do YOU want to see start.

Stupid Brunell will start!

I would like to see Ramsey given a chance with the right protection. Last season he never got the chance to show us what he's really got. He has a powerful arm and I'm sure during preseason we'll get the opportunity to see how accurate it is.

I would like to see Brunell given a chance with the right protection. The last 3 seasons he never got the chance to show us what he's really got.

Burnell will start , you don't spend that $ for nothing. The question is ,how long will he last? I'm sure we'll see Ramsey in action too!

As a Brunell fan, I'm so glad he went to the Redskins. May the best man start.

I know the Dolphins was a possible destination for Mark. What a relief, especially with Ricky Williams pulling the early retirement. Now I'm not so proud to say that Ricky went to the same high school as me (Patrick Henry High - San Diego)

I hope Brunell starts. P-Ram has not proven much except how tuff he is.

P-Ram is still shell shocked and holds on to the ball toooooo loooonnnng and just think, everybody thought it was SOS fault.

Hasselback comes in and throw nice little passes and made nice completions, except 4 the Dallas game.

and Gibbs would have never put the future in his hands...ill go ahead and say thgis will be Ramseys last year with the skins

That was the question you asked, but it can't be honestly answered until after you've seen 'em both play. What could you possibly base it on ? Brunell two years ago ? Ramsey two years ago ?
If you're asking who the emotional favorite is, then the question is moot. The emotional answer is the guy born and raised here. If that's the answer you were looking for, you'll get it.
For me, I want the best quarterback we have in camp to be the starter. It could be Ramsey, Brunell, Hasselbeck, Hamden or Rod Gardner for all I care. I want the one that gives us the best chance to win, which can't be determined at this time.
Screw reputations. Give me the guy who wows us all for those few short weeks in August.

Brunell, then when he gets injured .... PRam will be the man!!!!

No way, Ramsey is the future. Brunell is here as a mentor and to provide a capable starter in case Gibbs is not comfortable with Ramsey's progress in his offense so far.

While I've followed Mark Brunell from the very beginning, this is a true win/win scenario. Two very capable QBs playing off of each other, great WRs in Coles, Gardner, Thrash, etc., and Clinton Portis at RB. At least it's not like Miami's situation, where you have to wonder which QB won't wallow in mediocrity this year--especially with no more Ricky Williams in the backfield.

Waterboy

Does anyone think Brunell can be effective for even one entire season? And if not, why bench Ramsey? I also think Ramsey has alot of potential, especially when he's not flat on his back.

Ramsey by the end of the season.

Any word from passing camp on this competition?

What does that picture mean? Did he have a really good showing during passing camp, or did you just want to get post 1000 under your belt? Congrats on the milestone, BTW.
