Dirk Diggler Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 There's a small piece in the football section on page 134. It's titled "Payback Time" and it focuses on 4 players who were 2002 "flops who need to play up to their pay." It might interest you who the 4 named were: Quentin Jammer (agreed), Bryan Thomas (agreed), Ashley Lelie (um, he was a rookie WR who caught 35 balls - disagree), and none other than Patrick Ramsey (He has "accuracy problems") who only completed 46% of his passes in Week 5 and 6. Funny how they choose to focus on a rook's 2 worst games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 WTF.....How can Ramsey be considered a flop at all? What exactly was he expected to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eparadox Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Jeez, Brett Favre completed only 45% and 48% of his passes in week 16 and 17, this guy has some "accuracy problems" and has to live up to his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Well considering Ramsey was never even SUPPOSED to EVER see the field in 2002. Also, you can only call him a flop if anyone predicted he would take us to the playoffs from the point he became a starter anyway.(which NO ONE did). What did this writer do, watch him against the Titans and just figure, every game SHOULD go like that for a rookie who held out and has never had any playtime?

RySkins Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Amazing, especially since Ramsey looked well ahead of Carr and Harrington last year and doesn't get paid that much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yank Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 How about the last 3 games of last year: PHILADELPHIA - 66% HOUSTON - 55% DALLAS - 44% Average is 55% Not shabby for a training-camp-challenged, hail-mary-forced Rook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Taking a shot at the Redskins is easy, as most people seem predisposed to buy into it. Another fine example. Why not mention him lighting up the Eagles for 315 yards? ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaparanoia Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Even though Pat is young, they (media) is gonna be all over him until he has a spectaculer season...count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachey79 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 The fact of the matter is that Ramsey out performed carr and harrington last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralWaugh Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 You know, coming from UF, I am used to a vast anti-Gator conspiracy, but it now occurs to me that perhaps there is something more ominous in the air... I really couldn't, in my wildest dreams (you know, the ones with Danny Wuerffel lighting up NFL *starters* for 300 yds a game), imagine Ramsey being a flop. I'm shocked. He came out and ran down the Titans, faced the Eagles with aplomb, and won us some games, darn it. Either that blurb slipped by or there's some serious conspiracy at work........ yes............

Dr. D Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I think its more like they expect him to do well this year and somehow take credit for noticing first..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Just keep track of all these little articles and statements made about the Skins and we'll revisit at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I'm with Utah...I'm loving all this hatred....keeps me warm at night. Its been a long while since we've been seriously noticed and it can mean only one thing....we're worrying somebody out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
