Ramsey is on the Dolphins short list...

(KFFL) Jason Cole, of the Miami Herald, reports the Miami Dolphins have a short list of veteran quarterbacks that they might have interest in, including Washington Redskins QB Patrick Ramsey. The team would like to develop a young quarterback, but might need to acquire a veteran if their options are limited.

Culpepper and McNair are also other QBs they are interested in. If we can get something decent out of the 'phins I'd love to see this happen, I think he would be a great fit there.

I have been rediculed for criticizing Gibbs because he lacked the balls to start Ramsey against the Seabirds (in view of Brunell's clearly apparent deterioration against Phila. and Tampa). Ramsey, even though he will make $ 1.7 mil this year (and that $$ is sorely needed), is a perfect back-up for either Campbell (or Brunell, ugh!). Too bad the collapse of the CBA might make him a casualty. Trading him for a low round choice does not make any sense to me and I would vote to keep him. But if the phins offered reasonable value for Pat you gotta make that deal. What is reasonable value? I would hold out for no less than a 3rd round choice. Someday soon Pat will become a winning QB for another lucky team much like Stan Humphries did way back when. I guarantee it.

This is how I see it going down:

Phins resign David Boston to a skins friendly contract (he needs to reestablish himself as a servicable receiver) than they ship him here for Ramsey. That would benefit us and them.

Why was there such a dip in Boston's stats the last two years? Injury? If so, anyone know what happened and the likelihood that he can bounce back? He seems to have been really good at some point and at 6'2" would be a good fit for what we need ...

David Boston wasting cap space, and eventually getting on IR doesn't benefit us in the slightest.

Boston has been found with steroids in his system before, not that it was a big surprise to anybody. His knees don't seem to be able to deal with his added bulk and the side effects of continuous steroid use has probably taken it's toll. He'll never be completely healthy for a full NFL season again.

He was using steroids (got a 4 game ban for it) and blew up to 250-260 while with the Chargers (they traded him because he refused to play at 225ish, he wanted to keep bulking up) and since then he's had recurring knee injuries in Miami. He's big and fast but he's been known to have attitude problems and his body could potentially be broken down by steroid use. He ended last season on IR so who knows what he's capable of anymore. If he gets back to 100% though, he can be on a short list of most talented WRs. The only thing is that's a freakin gigantic if.

Ramsay is the man to run Al Saunders offense - he counts less against the cap than Brunell - but of course we would be lucky to get a Gary Clark rookie card for Brunell. I hate to give away another Trent Green.

There are ramifications for trading players in the NFL, like cap hits. Ramsey is still on his rookie contract (I'm fairly certain of that) so his cap hit would be minimal. Brunell's, on the other hand, would help to cripple us.

I didn't know that..interesting read. I remember when he was 'on' he was a great reciever that was a load to take down after the catch. Too bad he went that route, hopefully he's better now and learned from his mistake.

Great info ... thank you.

Remember the last time we dumped a QB that we had developed in the Redskin system for 4 years for an unproven high draft choice. Can you say "Heath Schuler"?

well we dumped brad johnson as well...so moot point. Ramsey's only problem is his stern belief in his powerful arm. he throws a flat ball (better suited for west coast(as much as i hate that offence)) Mark had the ability to drop balls in over defenders which allows both verticle routes and short recievers. where as Ramsey's flat ball was more vunarable to deflection. i really like pat and felt he should have been developed more obc's lack of protection really hurt patrick gave him happy feet.i hope he is a winner where ever he may land as long as he isnt playin dem skins!!! also david boston is a roider we dont need or want him around.

Brunell's ability to drop balls in over defenders was because he doesn't have the arm strength to throw the ball on a line, I still shudder thinking about waiting for one of Kilmer's passes to finally come down to the receiver - and if not for Santana's ability to contort his body and make those Brunell saving catches - this discussion would be moot also.

OK people.

0% chance we get Chambers out of a flat trade for Ramsey.

The Dolphins' second round pick is so close to ours, it's not a benefit to us to include it in the trade.

Everybody seems to be against Boston as a WR, for apparently valid reasons. So what DO we ask for?

Dolphins #2 for Ramsey. Cheap, talented, young QB for a mid 2nd round pick is a fair trade. A mid #3 is questionable.
