Talent Evaluation?

Also, for all the anti-ramseyfans, if Ramsey is so bad, why do you think Gibbs said he would not even CONSIDER trading him? If you recall, the Jets were interested in Ramsey after Pennington went down. Gibbs said unequivocally that the team wouldn't even consider trading Ramsey.

I can answer that. You would have a rookie left as a back-up and bringing in another QB means having to give him a crash course of the system. Ramsey is good enough and knowledgable enough to come in if we needed him to replace Brunell. Not to mention this would be a huge distraction for the team- which is something you try to avoid especially during the season.

Well part of it is that it's not the responsibility of the Redskins to help other teams if their QB goes down. Also, by stating unequivocally that you have no interest in trading him you keep his trade value up, or maybe even make it higher. It's possible that if Ramsey played his value would go up after other teams saw how well he played. Or he could totally tank it and his value would plummet. Especially with so many other QBs that are going to be on the market this spring.
