but let me just say that if Cambell is truly gonna remain our number 3 then i dont know wtf they brought in todd collins for.

It is my personal belief that Ramsey given the weapons we now have...could...(and i think and have thought for a long time) should be the guy to lead us deep into the playoffs. I just really wish he had gotten a shot here.

But i feel that every single thing that has been done with Ramsey has been done completely backwards... Like even now, regarding his impending departure from the skins...the skins have now signed a 3rd QB...making it painfully obvious around the league that Ramsey will not be here next year.

This sends a message to potential trade partners that they can offer next to nothing or even nothing at all for ramsey...because they now believe we will just release him soon anyway. So what ever happend to getting fair value for the kid.

i personally believe he is better than Brunell (though i understand and of course respect people who disagree with me on that point). However, i dont think it is far fetched to assert that he is probably better than Jason Cambell at this point. And certainly better than freaking Todd Collins...

So all in all, i guess as a final mini tribute to Ramsey...i just wanted to say one last time that i really liked and believed in the kid...and i really wish we would keep our 3 QB's from last year...and actually allow Ramsey to compete with Brunell for the starting job next season. I truly believe he could lead this new and improved team to a fantastic season, and an exciting playoff chase...

Ok, sorry once again to those who didnt want to have to read that...but thats just my two cents...and i guess if you dont appreciate reading about ramsey...well you can take comfort in the fact that these "silly" arguments wont be around for very much longer as i imagine ramsey will be gone in the coming days.

I agree completely. Patrick was (and may still be) an excellent raw talent. He's tough, he's smart and he's strong. He tried to force throws where receivers were not getting separation and was picked frequently. But that was a problem with the receivers, not the QB. He was young and wanted to make plays. With the new WR talent on the squad, he'd look like the second coming of Elway if given half a REAL chance. I will miss not seeing Ramsey blossom in a Redskin uniform. Like Lavar, he deserved better.

We'll open the season like this:

1. Brunell
2. Campbell
3. Collins

Whether we'll close the season like that is the question.

If everyone in the league saw what you might see in Ramsey he would be gone by now. He is a low price pick up for another team and they are not going after him. I thought that a team by now might have picked up Ramsey just to bring in a QB that could compete for the starting job and if not the starter a solid back up. Maybe other teams see what Gibbs see in Ramsey and are not willing to take the chance on him. He will find a new team but I think it will be as a back up for the first year atleast.

Ugh, no offense man and my rant isn't directed at you specifically, but when can we finally drop this debate??

Ramsey is on his way out, his time here is done. He wasn't drafted by Gibbs, and Gibbs obviously doesn't think as highly of Ramsey as some of his fanboys do. Why do we have to keep rehashing this every other day?

some teams (like cinncy) HAVE gone after him, but he's refused to visit them.

I don't think this report by Shefter is the least bit accurate. Gibbs gave a glowing review of Campbell's progress when the season ended, and has told him that next year he better be ready to earn his keep.

I don't think there's any way Campbell will be the #3 this year. No way in hell. I think it's quite possible that Campbell is ready to START, not just be the 2nd stringer.

I don't trust Schefter's "sources". He doesn't have a reputation for being a great NFL insider. If Mort was saying this, I might buy into it a little more. But I think this is complete bullcrap.

Gibbs would not give a glowing review of Campbell if he wasn't ready to step it up next season. Gibbs doesn't make things up like that. He follows the "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all policy." With Ramsey he often finds little nice to say, and instead dances around the questions. He doesn't do that with Campbell, he has plenty of nice things to say.

I agree 100%. Barring injury of course. I can't see Gibbs goin to Campbell to start the season, but as we've seen these last couple years, Brunell's health is an issue over the course of 16 games.

[aussieskin]

Joe Gibbs likes to raise his QBs over a long time, the longer the better, Jason will be #3 next season, he will continue to learn by observing, hopefully if we get a game that will be a blowout Jason will get some snaps to see where he is at in his training.

[scowan]

Guys, I will try to find the link, but I read something online yesterday about the Todd Collins signing that his agent stated that the team informed Collins that he would be the number 2 guy going into the season. Of course that could all change after the Preseason next August. Collins being the #2 is most probably based on him knowning the offense better than Campbell at this point.

Ramsey wants to go somewhere where he has the chance to start. He isn't going to sign an extension with a team that doesn't suit him...and without that extension...there's not much value in picking up the last year of his contract. Particularly when he's probably going to be released if the team can't find someone who wants him for only one year.

really? so i guess that means that jacobs really is an amazing receiver after all, and that royal is a super smart guy fighting his guts out and has great hands. or that brunell (circa 2004) wasn't doing anything at all wrong, even though he couldn't hit wide open guys 6 yards down the field.

gibbs has a bad habit of publicly blowing sh*t up his player's @$$es on a regular basis. people just believe it cause they want to.

I hope campbell is amazing, but being talked up by this staff is worthless and means nothing based on past experiences.

[MTK]

As of right now Collins probably is the #2, but that will change with a strong camp by Campbell. If Campbell can't beat out Collins on the depth chart we might have a problem on our hands.

[Skins_4_Lyfe]

Brunell will get us to the Super Bowl...if he fails to produce with the talent he's surrounded by then we can start talking about making a change. Until then Brunell is our guy, he's got about one more good season left in the tank.
I also heard during the end of last season that Campbell was having a hard time learning the offense and that he wasn't ready.

[SmootSmack]

All you Salary Cap Gurus out there, is Jason Campbell due any kind of bonus for playing as early as 2006 that the Redskins would avoid by not playing him until 2007?

I'm not saying that that's going to decide who will play in '06, I'm just curious.

[That Guy]

i heard he does have playing time incentives back when he was signed... no idea on the accuracy or numbers though.
