Forget Ramsey for a minute...My last days as a Redskins fan?

Im a diehard fan but I know where you're coming from. A guy can only stand to watch such bufoonery for so long.

BTW, Campbell scored a 16 on the wonderlic test (IQ) well below what the average QB scores. I remember a mobile, strong armed kid we drafted named Shuler who also tanked his IQ test. Maybe it takes a bit of smarts to be a QB in the NFL.
Wouldn't mind seeing Alex Smith slide down. A kid with a strong arm, accuracy, mobility, a 3.76 in Economics and graduated in 2 years.... I can dream

I wouldn't read too much into that. Griese scored a 39, Cade McNown a 28, and Dan Marino a 16

Indeed the Wonderlic is not the total answer to QB-prowess, But Akili Smith also scored somewhere in the mid-teens and he never seemed to "get it" with regard to what a QB needs to do in the NFL.

You need brains and brawn to do that job and if you are really dumb, you damned well have some outlandish physical skills to compensate for that - - a la Marino.

True, and I think Jeff George scored something like a 10 and he's a cannon for an arm.

All I'm saying is there are many factors that lead to a QB's success in the NFL (smarts, skills, surrounding talent, luck), not just one

I am a diehard Redskins fan. I was Dexter Manley for Halloween when I was 5, I live for training camp every summer, I have got in several fights at parties with Eagles fans over shit they have said about our team, and I am probably going to fail a bio test because of the draft, but it is getting hard to deal with this shit every year. I appricate everything Gibbs is trying to do, but if the team continues to have devistating offseasons he is going to be gone soon too. I just cannot understand what is going through the heads of the front office. I won't change teams anytime soon, but if things keep going like this I could see why people would.

We should also keep in mind that there are a lot of smokescreens at this time of year and we shouldn't just believe every rumor we read as gospel

As a side note. The first that Ive heard about the new Madden is that its main feature will be making QB awareness relevant. There will be a shadow on the field that your QBs line of sight, if your manning itll be the whole field, If your plummer its very narrow. Just thought I would throw that out there.
