Skinsfan, you are right on the mark with this one. The absolute best thing for RAMSEY right now is to get some time learning under an experienced QB. He is clearly not "quite" ready for prime time. Some more sideline time will actually give him his best shot at having a long, successful NFL career. And as far as the nonsense about his ego, does anyone really buy that media invention? There may have been one or two extreme situations over many, many years where that was a contributing factor in a QB's demise. (And it had to be a guy with an inherent lack of confidence to begin with). But every year the media hauls it out dozens of times - every time there is a QB swap. C'mon - they are not 10-year-old girls. If they are tough enough to play in the NFL, they better be able to handle some bench time while they learn. This happens at every other position, but only the QB's get tagged as having such fragile egos. I don't buy it for one second. Gibbs has stated they will get an equal shot - how could anything be more fair than that? Anyone that wants to be given an "advantage" over his competition in winning a starting shot does not have the best interests of the team in mind!
