What would you give up for Drew Brees, you know the QB who was about to be cut, only a prolonged holdout by Rivers saved his carreer, please would you explain Brees for me, I can't for the life of me figure out how such a horrible QB could become an all pro? Could it possibly have something to do with the coaching and talent around him? Just curious.
It wasen't like Ramsey was surrounded by losers his first 2 years? Brunell himself has stated several times that he thinks Patrick is extremly talented and can be a very good QB in the NFL, perhaps he realized as well last season was an effort in futiltiy for any QB in our offense.
And just for the record for all the Ramsey bashers, Troy Aikmen didn't do jack his first 3 years, in fact there was talk of bust, and Buerline being a better QB, as well as Walsh being the air apparent, not until his 4th year did he finally become a great QB. He also had much more playing time leading up to that 4th year than ramsey, as well as one coach and 1 system.

I don't know what Brunell's 2004 QB rating was (rather terrible I think) but his career numbers were solid. My comment was that if you were offered a third round pick for a qb with those career numbers
and that you have shown no confidence in then you are not a football person. You have a much higher opinion of Ramsey than most football people do, a 3rd round pick is probably the most we can expect to receive.
As for Drew Brees, remember that if there wasn't a holdout Rivers was expected to come into camp as the starter. That was the plan. Everything came together for Brees, IMO, with the emergence of Gates and the trade for McCardell. Yes, the talent around him had a lot to do with it, but with the Redskins talent Brunell looked much better than Ramsey in camp and in pre-season games and the staff clearly didn't have confidence in PR after the Chicago game.. What was it, 3 possessions, 2 turnovers?
I'll admit that I am not a Ramsey supporter anymore but I base my assertion that he won't be a Redskin on the actions of the coaching staff and front office. They have had 2 offseasons and brought in 2 QB. He is not in their plans, period. Maybe Ramsey will develop into a great QB one day (I personally doubt it) but I know it won't be as a Redskin.
