I went to couple of their practice sessions but it was just too demanding. Not only that but you had to fork up $400 up front and have your own medical insurance. Guess what though, my company's health insurance doesn't cover you if you get hurt while playing in a "professional" league even if semi-professional. All they apparently see is the professional.

And no, I'm no rapper but I'd like to think I'm a poet with so-so skills :) Maybe I should post some of my other poetry here? Perhaps even start a weekly poetry column about our opponent that week? I'm feeling creative man. Creative I tell you!

Go for it, Dude!!

Brad Johnson was booed in his second season. He was torn up on call-ins and he couldn't wait to leave DC.

Gus was hero and flavour of the month and then shredded.

Green left because the new regime wasn't in place to work out his contract.

The fact is, that we have a QB controversy virtually every single season.

It stinks.

This team needs to get behind Ramsey. If they really feel he is the QB of the future then back him up (like everyone was happy to do for a while).

All this talk of trading him is crap.

I never saw Brad get booed. If that is true it really sucks. Anyone who boos a Redskin at home is NOT a Redskin fan. There have been some guys on this site that say they boo Redskins if they feel they are not performing the way they should - they think that is OK. That is complete B.S. They should just keep their sorry asses home and boo at the TV where they don't do any damage. (Also, I reject that Brad would be here if he wanted to be - He is gone because Boy GEORGE was the guy management wanted for our QB).

That is not the same as recognizing bad play. If that did not happen, we might now have Heath Shuler and Gus Frerotte as our QB's, throwing to Desmond Howard and Michael Westbrook, with Westbrook beating the hell out of our RB, Timmy Smith, at the practices. Thank God, SOME people recognize guys that are unable to correct basics.

You wanna talk about crap?? THAT would be crap.

gus isnt that bad, he just did something really stupid...

Gus seemed like a really good GUY, so he has had a lot of people pulling for him over the years. But he is not that good a QB. He has made the rounds, and is with his 5th team. He has gotten at least 2 starts with every team he has been with since the Redskins. He got the starts due to injury, and was not able to keep the starting job, even though 2 of the teams were having a QB crisis when he was there. He is a pretty good backup, but not really NFL starter material. His QB rating is not horrible (76 lifetime), but he just can't seem to be consistent as a starter.

He's a pretty decent backup, but then again how hard is it to throw jump balls to Moss?

Hogskin is right, the main problem with Gus is his lack of consistency.

yeah i was just thinking of last year, but he did have moss to make him look better...

When I first started working in tv sports was just around the time that Gus was ending his run here in DC. The general feeling inside Redskins Park was that Gus wasn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Maybe it was Norv's playbook in particular, but GF was never able to fully grasp it so the coaching staff had to drastically simplify the playbook for him. That's what I was told at least.

But yes, Moss does help :biggthump
