Thoughts on Ramsey and Brunell...

[NFLeurope]

See thats what im saying...i mean people say cut your losses and get rid of Ramsey...without realizing that Ramsey could still have value to the Redskins!!

Gibbs doesnt like to play young QB's so ive heard. And Unless he turns into a Ben Roethlisberger...unlikely...if Brunell gets hurt out there next season...we could really be in for a tough time if cambell gets thrown in there before he is ready. To me risking throwing away the entire season...if Brunell is injured is not worth obtaining just any mid-round pick.

So if they can get real good value for him...ie maybe Abraham, or a pick that could contribute to the team positively for next year...then it is worth...CONSIDERING the risk of trading Ramsey. But i definatley do not think that we shold just get rid of him to get rid of him.

And in terms of us having drafted our QB of the future in Cambell...well hopefully he will be good...but just look at the Chargers situation...it was only after Rivers...there QB of the future was drafted that Mr. Brees went from being considered a bust to a pro bowler. Even after everyone in Sandiego had given up on him...

And that is where Patrick Ramsey just cannot be judged yet... The number of QB's that come in this league and are good right away...is minimal...ie Roethlisberger and i dont know who else. Normally QB's have to go through growing pains...

And the whole point is...that because he never was given a prolonged opportunity to play...we cannot know if Ramsey's struggles...the holding the ball too long...the interceptions...etc...were growing pains...or simply that he was not good enough.

So...in the hope that they were growing pains...i would be inclined to hold onto him for next year...

Maybe if Brunell gets banged up at some point this year...or if we are out of the playoffhunt Gibbs could throw ramsey in there...and We'll see where he's at... Perhaps we could even give cambell some game experience. If nothing else playing Ramsey could at least serve to increase his trade value if he plays well...and maybe even open up a quarterback competition over the summer...which i would not be opposed to...and Brunell himself said was always a healthy thing.

I really like Patrick Ramsey...i think his good team-first attitude is rare among today's athletes...and maybe with time he could learn to be a great leader much like brunell...we'll see.....

Just dont give the kid away for a warm six pack...
