Poor Ramsey, Backup again!

[Paintrain]

Mangini (Gibbs) lied to Ramsey when he told him he would have a fair chance at competing for the starting job. Pennington (Brunell) is Mangini's (Gibbs') guy. Ramsey was never given a chance (by Gibbs). I hope Ramsey goes somewhere and gets the opportunity to showcase his skills and becomes a Pro Bowl QB (career backup).

Well now Ramsey is riding the bench in New York. If this guy can't beat out Pennington, what does that say about him?

It says he is a lucky SOB! I wish I could be good enough to ride the bench in the NFL and get bad huge money.

He could have been a decent starter is allowed to develop properly. C'est la Vie.

Given his current skill set, I've always thought the Raiders would have been a good fit for him. I think he and Al D. will still meet up in Silver and Black.

Why is it always Spurriers fault that Ramsey can't win a starting job. I remember reading that in college Ramsey took a beating as QB coming out of Tolane. If he can't get past the Spurrier years how can he make it in the NFL. Alot of other QB's have taken a beating and had great careers in the NFL. Aikman to name one took a ton of hits his first two seasons and the skins dished out alot of them.

Not to derail the point of this thread too much, but Mangini is the new dumbest coach in the league. Running flea flickers, reverses, and onside kicks in the preseason is not the sign of a good NFL head coach. On top of that, between Pennington's accuracy, Ramsey's arm, and Clemens wheels, he's got one good quarterback. He's definitely set up for failure in New York. I'll be surprised if he's still there next season.

Yeah I think that 'Spurrier ruined him' excuse is quickly losing any real merit. Like you said, he took a beating in college too. Taking a beating doesn't excuse the same mistakes he keeps making.

Holding onto the ball way too long and not having an accurate deep ball are his hallmarks, not a result of any offenses he's played in.

Poor Ramsey.
