I have nothing against you, but Hog1 called you a Ramsey-homer, not a redskins-homer. Frankly after reading a ton of your pro-Ramsey posts, I have to agree with Hog1, you are a Ramsey-homer. There is nothing wrong with that.
If you were coach of the Redskins staring tomorrow, you would bench Brunnell and start Ramsey. Right?
Even though Brunnell had a great year and Ramsey hasn't PROVEN he can be a dependable NFL QB, you stated in no uncertain terms you would put all your chips on Ramsey. I think you have said that Ramsey he is a better QB than Mark Brunnell and Campbell. That is basing alot on potential. That is a Ramsey-homer.
Wrong, I have said that I would be reluctant to make any switch this late in the season, Brunell right now has to be much more in tune with the offense and his recievers than Ramsey who has sat the bench all season, that is to much of a risk to make a switch now. But if I was the coach when Gibbs took over there would be no Brunell, or Campbell, and we would have plenty of draft picks this year. Oh yea Arrington would have been dealt before we renued his contract, [just thought Id throw that in ]

I guess it's how you look at the definition of homer, my belief is that a homer is someone that agrees with everything his team does right, wrong, or indifferent, Am I a Ramsey supporter? Yes, but it's not as if I support the guy after he's failed continually just because I like him, he hasen't had a legitamate shot to play in a real structured NFL offense, if I were a homer I would be saying we are going to win every week, quite honestly I get occasional flack for being quite the opposite, I had some posters question whether I really was a skin's fan, I just don't believe in blowing smoke up someone's A**, I am not going to blow it up mine.

Obviously I do base a lot of what I believe Ramsey can be on potential, but if you believe one player is better than another then I guess everyone is a homer in some sense of the word. I have been surrounded by Giant fans here in jersey my whole life, believe you me I know what homer's are!
