@DCGoldPants Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Ramsey is visiting a few teams. two things need to happen. 1. He needs to work out a new contract with that team. 2. Then that team and the Skins need to work out a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butz65 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i totally agree with this opinon. he can force himselve any where he wants, or be released. its in his ballpark. How is this in his ballpark? Ramsey's cap hit for 2006 is now insignificant. If the Redskins feel that they aren't getting value for him they'll make him the 3rd QB and have him sit for the season (isn't that the outcome that half of the posters on this thread want if we can't get better than a 5th round pick?). PR is under contract it's not as if he can simply walk away - if he doesn't report to camp he'll be fined and begin to lose $$$. Don't get carried away with how much leverage he has.

318 SKIN Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i totally agree with this opinon. he can force himselve any where he wants, or be released. its in his ballpark. With the news that PR might be traded it made me sit back and think about his time with the Skins. If you take all the emotion out of the whole PR experience beginning with Spurrier and ending with Gibbs. From his 1st action against the Titans to the benching againist the Bears. I think everyone would agree that this was not normally the way you bring along a young QB. I'm not saying he would have been successful, but I will say this. If I would have had a cystal ball when PR was drafted and it said this is how his career would go for the next 4 yrs - I would have said w/o a doubt he would have failed. Given the dysfunction he had to endure, it's amazing he was as successful as he was. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 What could possibly make you think Ramsey wont report to camp if he stays with the skins? Have you been around the past couple years. If Ramsey doesnt get traded, Ramsey will be here at the same time as all the rest of the players, and you wont here anything out of him about it.

Doodie987 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 there are many teams where he can be sucsessful....i agree he shouldnt go there....plus pennington just re did he contract and he will be spending a bunch more years in NY i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 as so many have pointed out...nothing is ever guaranteed.. you have to produce to hold onto any job.but at least there are some places where he won't get pulled after 1 quarter after winning the job. a fair chance to compete with a young coach.. that is all anyone can ask. 1 quarter is what you saw. - Joe Gibbs tried to give him the confidence of assuring him he was the starter the whole year leading up to the opener. That didn't work either. - He didn't get a 1 quarter audition - but he did confirm to Joe Gibbs that he he won't play the way Joe Gibbs wants him to. - In pre-season Ramsey threw twice as many INT's as TD's when defenses weren't even blitzing. - In his "1 quarter" he fumbled twice and threw a int. This doesn't mean Ramsey is useless as a QB, it just means he doesn't play QB the way Gibbs prefers. You have to look at this like a coach and take the emotion out of it. You have player A who doesn't do what you want him to, and Player B that does. As a coach, which player should you choose to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I don't get it either, unless he feels Pennington will not be healthy enough to beat him out for the starting position. However I did predict that Ramsey would end up with the Jets before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLEED-B&G Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I've said the same thing, he can definately beat out frerotte in miami if they even bring him back, and I'd pick miami over detroit just off the strength of the team, miami is on the way up and who knows what's going on with the Jets. But if Ramsey going to NY lands us Abraham then do your thing Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gusthecat Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 When you have Pennington, you need an experience backup and a fifth round draft pick is not much to pay. Maybe Ramsey knows what many of us know--he'll never be a starting quaterback and backup in New York City ain't so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarbear326 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Pennington has had surgery twice on his shoulder, it's a long shot his arm is strong as Ramsey's. If Ramsey learns the offense quickly, I can see him starting for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Pennington's new contract restructuring sets-up a much better chance he could get released in a year or so. Also, Chad is coming back from yet another major injury and surgery, so his abilities right now are both questionable and suspect. Ramsey, and/or his agent, knows this, and also knows that his age and the fact he has a lot more throw power than Pennington greatly allow him the chance to overtake Pennington for the starting job.
