FOX Sports - NFL - Pennington wins starting quarterback job

Well now Ramsey is riding the bench in New York. If this guy can't beat out Pennington, what does that say about him?

vaoutlaws2006 · 08-29-2006, 01:02 PM

did you really think he was going to unseat Pennington as starter? I sure didnt. Pennington is a proven commodity in the nfl...is ramsey? I dont know but i sure wish he was here as our backup.

Suprise suprise. Yawn.

MTK · 08-29-2006, 01:10 PM

Shocker.

Another team that doesn't recognize his greatness.

Monkeydad · 08-29-2006, 01:11 PM

"Poor" Ramsey? This is a great thing, it saves him a lot of embarrassment.

Schneed10 · 08-29-2006, 01:19 PM

Ramsey might even be the #3 behind Kellen Clemens.

He's just not a good QB folks. Face it.

I would rather drive a gasoline truck in Baghdad than count on the Jets O line to protect me. Winning that job my not be a good thing for anyone.

NY Jets just haven't given Ramsey a chance. Why won't anybody give Patrick Ramsey a chance? Can't they see the MontanaISTIC play inside this guy? LOL!!

I was never a band wagoner for Ramsey but I do recognize that he could have been a good QB In this league if he had a chance to drop and pass the ball with some protection. He's just so immobile that the quality of his arm and accuracy could never be fully utilized. I think Spurrier's retarded blocking schemes combined with the immobility have basically ruined him. He could have been a decent starter is allowed to develop properly. C'est la Vie.

Given his current skill set, I've always thought the Raiders would have been a good fit for him. I think he and Al D. will still meet up in Silver and Black.

Why is it always Spurriers fault that Ramsey can't win a starting job. I remember reading that in college Ramsey took a beating as QB coming out of Tolane. If he can't get past the Spurrier years how can he make it in the NFL. Alot of other QB's have taken a beating and had great careers in the NFL. Aikman to name one took a ton of hits his first two seasons and the skins dished out alot of them.

Yeah I think that 'Spurrier ruined him' excuse is quickly losing any real merit. Like you said, he took a beating in college too. Taking a beating doesn't excuse the same mistakes he keeps making.

Holding onto the ball way too long and not having an accurate deep ball are his hallmarks, not a result of any offenses he's played in.

where the hell is offiss when you need him?

Paintrain · 08-29-2006, 03:18 PM

Mangini (Gibbs) lied to Ramsey when he told him he would have a fair chance at competing for the starting job. Pennington (Brunell) is Mangini's (Gibbs') guy. Ramsey was never given a chance (by Gibbs). I hope Ramsey goes somewhere and gets the opportunity to showcase his skills and becomes a Pro Bowl QB (career backup).
