Trey's Corner

Dear Trey,

What what do you think of Coach Joe Gibbs's decision to pull Patrick Ramsey in favor of aging Mark Brunell as the starting quarterback for The Washington Redskins?

-Worried in Washington



Dear Worried,

You should be completely terrified of Mark Brunell. Last year, he was the NFL's worst quarterback. Hmmmm....worst....I guess that leaves some room for opinion...no, wait....it doesn't.

Oh, and he's not crazy either, as this snippet from his bio will show:
"Through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection, I realized that He had bridged the gap that sin had created. As I repented of my sins and allowed Jesus to become the Lord of my life, I experienced His love and forgiveness. I began to see a greater purpose for life. Jesus wants all of us to live at the highest level. We can only do that by allowing Him to be our Lord and Savior Jeremiah 29:11"
Patrick Ramsey was 7-12 for 120 yards in Sunday's game, converting three third downs on a single drive, after throwing one admittedly horrendous interception. This was before he was nearly decapitated by a Chicago linebacker, who was politely asked by the line judge to not commit any more penalities for the rest of the game and go on his merry way.

Brunell passed for 70 in a half and change. Had it not been for the running game of Portis and Betts (finally), The 'Skins were gonna walk away losers from this one. Instead, they're 1-0, as they've been for the past four playoff-less years. Their defense allowed only 141 yards of offense, and the Bears' touchdown was the result of a special teams fumble and pitifully short field.

Didn't Ramsey strain his neck or something?

...but he was available for the second half. Plus, there are reports that his INT was a result of a receiver running the wrong route.
