I'm not happy with Gibbs right now. And it's not the losses either,it's his unwillingness for change. For goodness sakes he said Ramsey won't play because he doesn't *8**in like him?
WTH?
Not everyone besides Gibbs thinks that putting in Ramsey right now would be the best thing for the team. Ramsey supporters have been louder on thehogs.net, and the media is always looking for a nice contraversy or change. But that doesn't mean it's the best thing to do. Even though during the summer/preseason I was hoping that Ramsey would win the job, Brunell did earn it.
Ramsey still has to get comfortable in the system--in a strange way it was good that he got in the Giants game because he showed that he makes mistakes too. Otherwise people would be calling for Gibbs' head right now over the issue.
Gibbs knows what he's doing, we're fans. Criticize if you must, but know that he just might have a better perspective than you right now.
Unwillingness for change? That's absolutely ridiculous!! Change is what's put the Redskins in the situation that they've been in ever since Joe Gibbs left. Quit wishing Ramsey in there, and just be glad that Joe Gibbs is coaching the team. When he wants Ramsey in there, he'll put him in there. He'll put him in there because HE thinks he'll give us the best shot at winning, not because YOU or any other person wants him in there. Unwillingness for change? COME ON!!! And one other thing, when did Gibbs say he doesn't like Ramsey?

He made it sound like he doesn't like him PERSONALLY.
That's not a good thing. When you're 1-4 with the biggest loser ever at quarterback,change is good.
I'm not mad at Gibbs at all for the losses,but just not liking someone's attitude being a reason to help the team,is not good.
Brunell use to be awesome,but it just ain't happening. I've lost all faith in his abilities (which wasn't much to begin with).Ramsey sucked in 1 game. Brunell sucked in 4. You do the math.

I give you the same challenge as JP. Since when did Gibbs say publicly that he doesn't like Ramsey?

I'm glad we're in agreement. Brunell is one of the biggest winners at quarterback this league has ever seen--so obviously this isn't a reason for change right now, even if we're 1-4.
I couldn't find a public quote. Check mate. Still,I can't back Brunell in good conscience,I just can't. He's a good,Christian man,and use to be awesome. Actually,I don't care for Ramsey much either (Bruell seems much more likable) but that doesn't mean Brunell should stay in. I predict,if we lose the game on Sunday,Brunell will have to beg to stay in.
Bacon, dude, this "discussion" stems from profootballtalk.com, the WORST football site EVER! Why are you believing anything that's being written on there?
Gibbs likes Ramsey. Like JP said, discussion closed.

Ramsey's still on the team aint he? If Gibbs didnt like em, he would be gone by now. Wow, this is offically the 12348934348398 post about brunnell/ramsey debate.
don't worry bacon... you can't say anything remotely negative because it will be taken as if you are condemning this team to hell... alot of these guys want peaches and cream all the time.
enough about brunell it's time for the PLAYERS on this team to make some (+) plays !!! stop dropping balls stop fumbling the ball away and the o-line needs to block better for PORTIS !!!!

I don' tthink anyone took what Bacon posted as negative, some of us do like to know the source of what is posted (that's why you'll see "Link?" as a complete posteven if the article as the site it came from in it)
on that note where's your source for the peaches and cream comment, because I can't think of anyone here who hasn't had something negative to say about OUR team.

I remember that night (no matter how hard I try to forgat ) The only thing negative you said was "this is frigging pathetic" and that was your opinion at that time.
That happens alot during a game when your team isn't playing at the level you feel they should. I think you posting.. "I truly hope all you "blind loyalists" wake up and realize that this team is bad and it's not going to get any better this year." is what prompted the response that got from TC. Talking about the team and the way they are playing is one thing but calling those who have a opinion than yours names is jusy wrong

Back to the subject of this thread... I don't think Gibbs hate Ramsey. I don't think he feels Ramsey is ready to take over this team. I still say Ramsey will be the man after the bye week regardless of the outcome of the Bears game, I said this last Sunday and have heard nothing that has changed my mind.

Actually I think it is true.. you can't get the ground game going without a O-line and they would be a plus for Brunell if he's ever to hit a streaking WR down the side line (If he doesn't overthrow them or hit one in the ankle)
It's more fustration then negativity or madness and we all have it

At this time, the staff does not believe that Patrick Ramsey's arm strength is sufficient weaponry to overcome his ineptitude in the new system.
Brunell has taken well to the system and the calls, but lacks the overall strength to make the long ball work (or so they say).
Which is the lesser of the two evils ? The guy that can throw the long ball with accuracy when there is no receiver in sight because that isn't the play he called, or the guy that can't make the big play because he can't get the ball down there ?
Take your pick, baby. Gibbs has.

JPFair- A fan's fan. RIP, brother
sorry TC. i'll take ramsey in a heart beat. this is perhaps THE worst quarterback play that i've seen in the last ten years of redskin football. brunell looks uncomfortable in the pocket. his body language is atrocious (from my humble perspective). he looks like he has no confidence. and rightfully so, he has not produced. he had that one series against the 'boys that impressed me. other than that...i'm sorry man, brunell is simply not cutting it for me.
ditto on jdub, but the sad part is I don't know who I'd want behind the snap right now....Ramsey ain't cutting it. He reminds me of Rypien in his younger days, granted Rypien got better for what,,2 seasons then tanked in '92? Throw that Hasselback dude in there. I like Ramsey's cannon, but that's all he's got?! Threads needles now and then, but too many picks..way too many and above all, has a HORRIBLE completion % throughout his career.
when you played in a system that regularly called for the long ball, open or not, and had the kinda pressure on you all the time that he did, and still completed 52% of your passes, that's pretty good IMO.
Not to mention, dumpoffs weren't a part of the spurrier system.
To all of you people out their before the Bears game that said the reason Brunell wasn't doing that well was because Portis wasn't able to run the ball therefore not opening up the passing game, well you were all wrong. Portis ran crazy aganist the Bears and Brunell still wasn't able to hit anyone. 8-22 for only 95 yds, I mean come on. Ramsey may still not have the best understanding of Gibbs offense yet but he has to be able to do better than that and if Gibbs lets him take the majority of the snaps for the next two weeks Ramsey would be able to put up some numbers aganist the less than average Packers secondary.
I really think the main reason why Brunell is struggling so bad right now is because it looks like he walks into the huddle already knowing who he is going to throw the ball to. If you watch Brunell drop back in the pocket his head never moves. He just stares at one reciver, or hopefully to his credit at least one side of the field, which is still terrible. The only time I saw Brunell look off of his first reciever and go to his second option was when he hooked up with Gardner in the corner of the endzone. It looked like it was a play designed to go to Coles on the right side of the field but he was double covered so Brunell actually looked left and through a beautiful pass to Gardner.
