Those "happy feet" make me think he is the Rookie and Jason Campbell is the veteran. Be vocal, clap your hands, talk to your guys. They say Jon Jansen does this with the O-line, I want to see Patrick do this with the whole team.

I agree - Hopefully, with all the backing he has this year and with the experience he has gathered playing under gibbs he willl come through and act the part, another thing you have to realize, you don't teach that, or learn that kind of personality from a book, sure you can achieve to improve your attitude, but Ramsey will never be Farve or even Brady when it comes to leadership (at least from what I've seen the last four years) ... I still think he will be good, and I think he will silence some critics tomorrow night, we get 1 TD out of him and another solid drive!

Gortiz, As much as I would like for the Skins to have a Farve or a Brady, we have had Rypiens and Doug Williams, and Thiesmans and won Superbowls. I would love for the Skins to have an awsome QB like Manning, but those kind of guys don't come around every year. IMO Payton Manning will break every QB record one day and we will all be saying John Elway who, or Marino who, or Farve who. But back to Ramsey. I am on his bandwagon, and I can't really put into words why. Maybe because he is such an underdog and has been so physically and mentally tough for 3 years. Maybe because I want good things to happen to good people and would love to see him overachieve. I don't know, maybe he seems old school to me and I can relate to it more than I can the Terrell Owens of the world. Somebody help me here and tell me why we all all still pulling for him.

I think a lot of wanting him to do well is that he was first, and he did well enough before Brunell or Campbell even came along. We want that consistency, that guy who year in and year out we can say "this is our QB" When Brunell was brought along, I don't think people even thought about what Brunell had to offer (apparently nothing last year), they just thought "here we go again."
