Brunell Is Named Starting QB

Ramsey being demoted is an extremely surprising development given Gibbs' reputation for loyalty. Ramsey has to feel like this is a stab in the back after Gibbs spent the entire offseason saying that this is Patrick's team. It's unfair given the long leash Brunell had last year while Ramsey was only given one game before being pulled (if it truly wasn't injury-related as Gibbs claims).

However, it is the best move for the Skins as a team. As much as he's been given the opportunity to eliminate mistakes, Ramsey never did play mistake-free football. In the preseason, he still had a penchant for holding the ball too long and throwing INTs at the wrong time.

With Jason Campbell waiting in the wings, Ramsey may have to hope for injury to his friend Brunell in order to prove himself again. Otherwise, he'll be looking for work elsewhere after this season.
