Pats should start Flutie

His numbers looked good but I still felt like we were lucky to get a first down and I don't think anything was wrong with coach Gibbs offense.

Think the first down thing might be why we now have new recievers? If PR plays like he did last year we will win 10 games. If he plays a little bit better we will win the division.

I think what will be apparent by game 4 of the regular season is how much better we are as a team, across the board.

Most important thing about PR is the team believs in him.

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.

well if the team believes in him i do I will be the first one to jump on his wagon. I was so happy when he took over for brunnell last year.

Well it's not like I am a Norman Einstein or something

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.

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.

I loved that article, Matty. If you havent read it yet, read it now.

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.

alright!..
