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.

There was a former Jet GM on the radio a month or so ago, he works in some compasity for the NFL, or writting for them [not sure] but he said that he knew several GM's who think a lot more highly of Ramsey than the fans and the skins organization.
Talent evaluation is being able to evaluate an individual within his circumstances, some players can look much better than they are because they are in a great circumstance, [see AJ Feeley] then other can look horrible because of their circumstances [see Drew Brees] that is what seperates the great GM's from the average run of the mill smuck, who just looks at a stat sheet and makes a determination.
