The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I don´t like Brunell to be the redskins QB, the redskins are avereging 14.2 points per game and that´s awful, last year with Ramsey at QB at this point we were 3-2 and were one of the best offenses in the league, yesterday when Brunell threw deep passes they were like punt kicks, they lasted like 4 seconds to get to the players and one was intercepted and the other one was out of bounce, the defenses know Brunell´s lack of arm so they just stand in the pocket waiting for the short passes, with Ramsey at QB at least we have an opportunity to open more the field because of his arm, of course he needs to improve in many things but let´s be real we´re 1-4, yestarday the offense didn´t pass the 50 yardline, the touchdown came fron an int that put the redskisnin excelent field position, Brunell is 1-4 as a redskin and he is 34 and Ramsey is 25, I don´t think by now there should be any controversy. Ramsey must be the QB.

I can't imagine our record would be any worse if Ramsey had started those 5 games. The hard part is simply not knowing whether Brunell will ever pull it together. In Jacksonville, he used to have little or no problem with the long ball. I guess he's older, but it's not like he's the oldest QB in the league. Heck, Rich Gannon was 37 when he took the Raiders to the Super Bowl with an incredible passing attack. I really think that Brunell is gun shy. Just look at the happy feet every time he drops back to pass. If we lose to Chicago and go 1 and 5, I think Gibbs will go to Ramsey.

It's time for Ramsey to get into the lineup! No question he should be given the opportunity to spark this pathetically dull offense. The guy has a better arm, better feet and 10,000 times more guts than Brunell. Ramsey may not be the answer - but he's part of it!
