The most important thing about next season is...

[Ron Burgundy and Gold]

not landing another WR.

not re-signing Fred Smoot.

not adding a pass rush DE

or suring up the O-Line.



While all of those things would be fantastic, the biggest key to Redskins success next season is going to be the play of one Patrick Ramsey.

I think our WR corps is adequate where its at right now, though we could add another if we're not interested in giving Taylor Jacobs or Thrash for that matter much playing time. Fred Smoot is a top corner and I'd love to have him back, but Gregg Williams proved last year he can have one of the league's top defenses without a lot of stars (not to mention LaVar will actually be playing this year). Same thing as the pass rushing DE we need, and with the signing of Rabach our O-Line is well on it's way to getting better.

But to quote Jim Mora Sr, none of that means diddly-poo if Patrick doesn't increase the level of his play. I still have faith in him, I was very happy when we drafted him in the late first round and I've been a supporter of his from the beginning, but it's time for the training wheels to come off. He's had a couple years to get accustomed to the NFL and will now be entering his second year of Joe Gibbs offense, which has a track record of being wildly successful without the most amazing of quarterbacks. It's put up or shut up time for Ramsey, no more excuses this year. Personally I'm optimistic, but I think the improved play of our most important returning starter is much more vital to our team's success than anything we're going to accomplish in March or April.
