I can't believe some people are ready to take out Ramsey, i respect the opinion but i just can't believe it. One interception. YES it was a horrible interception but had he made that pass(that he says slipped off his hand) we would be happy because he would be in the upper 90 yards, and 9/12

This is a good point. Regardless of how "happy" his feet looked, would we even be HAVING this discussion if he would have completed that bomb to Moss? My guess is all would have been forgiven, as all will be forgiven tonight if he throws one touchdown pass or leads one touchdown drive.

Obviously, I like Ramsey. He's a character guy with a solid work ethic. Moreover, he's got all the "tangibles" to make it in this league. What he needs to work on are the "intangibles."

The "intangibles" are developed through experience - something he hasn't been given yet. Ramsey has started 23 games. The other two first round QBs from 2002 have more experience (Harrington and Carr have both started over 43 games) and have worse stats than Ramsey. I would just like to see the Redskins front office and fans give Ramsey the same shot those other QBs have gotten.

Do I think he'll be a Hall of Famer? No, I highly doubt it. But I think he's got what it takes to be a very successful QB. Troy Aikman talked about Ramsey last night during the Patriots-Saints game. Troy said he thinks Ramsey has what it takes to be a very good quarterback, but the constant turnover in D.C. has inhibited his growth. I agree.

I don't think anyone has taken that position since week 8 of last season. Sure the execution was bad, but I think everyone (including Gibbs) believes that his offense needed to change.

it really chaps my arse that a cowroid QB is a better broadcaster than a redskins QB

I'm tired of defending Ramsey, but I'm more tired of people thinking that playing musical chairs at QB is a good thing.

We booed Brunell to the bench last year, and now we're doing the same thing to Ramsey in the preseason. I mean c'mon, it's really ridiculous. What happens if Brunell starts and has a bad game, hell just a bad series... do the boos cascade down from the stands and then Campbell gets a shot? Then what when the rookie inevitably struggles, back to Ramsey?

I'm going to defer to this article all week, I think it really puts things in perspective.

Absolutly agree, and in addition most everyone went into the season saying "whew glad we got Brunell 'cause Ramsey stunk the joint up in preseason"

Brunell graduated to the pre-season and threw for less than 100 yards in 5 of 9 starts.

Yes it does brother. What it says to me is: Let's have some class and not act like Philly fans. We used to have a great rep as fans; lets make sure we don't ruin it.
