Time to revisit my April post...

[Balmerskinsfan]

Ramey had value before he played many games because he had POTENTIAL as a young strong armed QB. But then he played enough games for anyone not blinded by burgundy colored glasses to see that he was nothing special at best and a slow, inaccurate INT machine at worst. Gibbs didn't make Ramsey's value plummet, Ramsey did by playing like crap. Teams that were once willing to gamble a higher pick on Ramsey's potential now realize that his actual value is far less. Again, not Gibb's fault, Ramsey's. If you play like a fair-to-middlin' QB, your value is fair-to-middlin'.

really shouldn't start this again. as 'bad' as Ramsey played last year, Brunell played unequivocally worse.

as for potential, in a working offense in real games, can't prove potential without a chance. a chance he was supposed to get but didn't.

No shit idiot, but its rather stupid to assume that because I'm bashing Ramsey I must be all about Brunell, don't you think? The real point is that neither of these players have much value. No one is going to give the skins a first round pick for either of these guys. If you read the posts before mine, someone raised the question what did GIBBS do to decrease Ramsey's value. I was simply stating that Ramseys previously inflated value was due to the feeling that he had POTENTIAL. His subsequent play has proven this perception WRONG. RAMSEY decreased his own value by playing medicore, mistake-ridden football. Gibbs had nothing to do with this.

he pulled him after 3 drives, that's what he did to decrease any value he had.

Exactly... I agree, Ramsey has had a part in his stock dropping, let's not kid ourselves.

The knocks on him from earlier in his career still remain. He holds on to the ball too long, he doesn't have great touch, and he still makes too many silly mistakes.

That's not Gibbs' fault.

I still think he has some potential and somebody out there will undoubtedly take a chance on him to see if they can tap in to that potential.
