Do We Have the Best QBs?

[Hogskin]

Skinsrock, that is a good point, but it ignores a couple improtant facts. The Falcons offense last year had NOTHING but Vick, and had a bad line. There are very few NFL STARTERS who could have replaced Vick, a very rare and special talent, on last year's Falcons and kept it together. The Redskins are not anywhere near that shape. They will have an excellent line this year, and have very good talent across the board on offense. They do not depend on the QB for everything.

Secondly, there are much better backups readily available than what the Falcons had last year. In fact the Skins' current 3rd string is one of them.

And don't kid yourself about Gibbs. He would not hesitate for 10 seconds if he got the opportunity to bring a proven, young stud QB (Vick) in here for an aging QB who was very good, and a promising young QB who needs a lot of development in his footwork, decision-making speed, and release speed. I like Ramsey's potential a lot, but he is not quite there yet. That is why Gibbs went after a QB as soon as he got here. Vick is the real thing for sure. Anyway, the trade is a moot point. No way the Falcons would make that idiotic trade and doom themselves to at least a couple years of fighting to escape the cellar, while putting the Redskins in immediate Super Bowl contention.
