newskinsowner Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Sup fella's i'm rather new to this board, Been a SKIN fan since the 84 championship game all i remember was that they played hail to the redskins over and over and i was hooked!!! anyways got a senario for you: (POSTED THIS ON THE OTHER BOARD WITH JUST 1 REPLY) Here is hoping this doesnt happen: But what if Ramsey were to get hurt in the 1st or 2nd game and Gibbs feels that Campbell isnt ready yet and Brunell comes in and throws for 2or 3 touchdowns for the next 3 games and we go 3-0 during that stretch? 1. Do you sit Brunell and bring back Patrick when he is healthy? 2. Or do you ride out the hot hand? come on regular season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 If this situation did arise, Gibbs would probably stick with Brunell once Ramsey got better (don't break what works) until he really started to stink it up like last year. I don't think he'd wait as long this time, though. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Actually, this is a very good question. I'm of the opinion that almost everyone here would tell you they'd go right back to Patrick Ramsey, as they sit on THIS day and look to last season. I'm calling them all liars before they even post their answers. The fact is, if the Redskins win 3 games in a row with Mark Brunell at QB, these fans won't want to change a THING. I'm not saying that I support Brunell for starter on opening day at all. I'm simply asking you all to search your souls for that answer. Heck, if Charles Nelson Reilly won 3 consecutive games at QB for the Skins, we'd go into a panic at the thought of benching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryerye05 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 im guessing gibbs would keep playing brunell untill he screws up which shouldnt take to long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 There is no question Gibbs would continue with Brunell. What would fans want? I'd want whoever wins to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js161 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I though Gibbs always said you can't lose your job to an injury. Ramsey would be back starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 remember, we only hated Brunell cause he sucked. By sucked, I mean barely got any passing yards in most games, could not convert on 3rd down, and kept throwing to the sideline. Now say with our o-line hopefully healthy and conceivably better, Brunell becomes better, maybe things will change. Either way, I hope Ramsey rides out into a pro-bowl season. But if Brunell is on fire (which is pretty unlikely), then he will keep starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win three in a row there will be talk of playoffs and no one will want to bench Brunell, me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'm one of the few that still think Brunell will have a significant impact on this season. Whether it be helping Ramsey continue to progress reading defenses or he comes in and lights up defenses god forbid Ramsey is hurt. As far as I'm concerned, if he comes in and wins three in a row and looks like the Brunell of old.... I'm all for riding him as far as he can take us.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 If Patrick went down for th season ans Brunnell tossed for 25 TDs and 3,500 yards I would be very happy. I just wanna win. I don't care if Eric Cartman was our Qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinker Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 You play the players who you believe give you the best chance of winning each game. Gibbs knew Brunell was sucking last year, but he saw that PR was not really playing any better in practice and did poorly in his relief performances. Gibbs didn't think PR gave the team a better chance of winning. Eventually he changed his mind. The same thing would happen this or any other year.

Eparadox Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 You don't lose your job to an injury, unless it's half-season or more. If you bench Ramsey at that point, it would effectively be the end of his career in Washington, which would be giving him the ultimate shaft, he would be the most promising Redskins young QB who never got a bonafide chance to win.

Kosher Ham Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 So much talk of Brunell makes me think of Gibbs stating at the end of last season, that "Brunell will continue to be a big part of this team". IMO, that leads to the drafting of a QB for Brunell to mentor and the continuing development of a young QB in Ramsey. Hopefully that is the case. I, like all of us here was rooting for Brunell to succeed, but enough was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyJoe92 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yea I would really have to know how Ramsey was doing before he got hurt. For some reason i think Gibbs would love to see Brunell play (he is so old school.) but if Ramsey was doing well Gibbs would put him back in and see if he keeps it up. If Ramsey starts to play bad he will put Brunell back in for good. I really don’t think Brunell could last a full season because he has a really weak arm. Ramsey has a stronger arm and youth lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newskinsowner Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 dfitzo53: Ah, ok. What do you think would happen? Me personally the football side would like for PR to get back on the field cause we never seen him play out a full season yet, and would want to see the young dude develop or make some progress. but my heart would say stick with Brunell to keep us in the playoff race cause normally we are out of it by week 6or7. because you dont risk taking out a player who is performing for a player with potential esp when your winning.

Trevor Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I wont even say what I'd do because, I'd be too shocked if Brunell came in and actually played well at any time. His decline has been steady over the few years and even rest hasn't helped rejuvenate him in the past. He's done, IMO. Besides that the thought of him on the field makes me a bit nauseas.
