Just to get it out of my system, and to eat a taste or two of humble pie, Mark Brunell has done better than I expected him to this year quarterbacking the Redskins.  To be fair, since Coach Gibbs has decided to put the team on the back of Clinton Portis it is harder to criticize the play of Brunell.  

He’s expected not so much to win as he is to not lose.  A situation that would have suited the soon-to-be-former-Redskin Patrick Ramsey just as well.  Ramsey still has that gun of an arm and the strong legs to make plays for a team that is willing to let him. Gibbs yanking him early in the season has given Ramsey the time he needed to calm down and understand the game.  He should take advantage of this weekend, if he gets the start, and show the other teams (Cardinals, Jets, Chiefs, etc.) his ability to lead a talented team.

More later.
