"It's flared up pretty bad recently," said Ramsey, who has had difficulty planting the foot when throwing. "It's just something I'm trying to fight through." Coach Steve Spurrier revealed the injury one day after Ramsey had one of his worst games of the season in a 20-17 loss at Carolina. Ramsey said the foot started hurting during training camp. An X-ray disclosed an old fracture. Ramsey has no idea when or how it happened. Ramsey said he wasn't really bothered by the injury until the past couple of weeks. "It's hard to push off my back foot. It's hard to turn my hips. It's hard to do a lot of things," Ramsey said. "We're trying to do all we can to support it and keep it going." Ramsey was 16 for 35 for 150 yards and missed two wide open receivers for sure touchdowns against the Panthers. His 53.5 completion percentage ranks 31st in the league. Ramsey also was sacked three times Sunday, bringing his season's total to 29. Ramsey said he doesn't intend to take a game off to let the foot heal. "Not if I can play," he said.

HapHaszard Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 It makes you wonder, how tough is this guy, he is battered and beaten to a pulp and still goes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 This explains his lack of accuracy lately. Pat, we Skins fans adore your toughness and we KNOW you are the QB of the future.... but dude you gotta sit and heal up for a while. We want you to have a LOOOOOOONG career. Let see what we have in the "other" Hasslebeck for a couple games. This season is now about getting experience for all of our young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsThug Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Don't forget getting Rod Gardner some snaps too. He's our #3 QB. I'm #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 This also answers why he was having such a tough time w/ rollouts. Gotta agree with Blade. Our season is just about gone; I don't want to lose our future as well!!!! Since it's likely inevitable that he continues playing, we definitely need to RUN MORE!!!

Henry Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 You just gotta love this kid dontcha. 14 TDs and 8 INT on a broken foot? In his second year? Sheesh. That said, it is a bit troubling to hear this is an 'old' injury that has flared up. I'd hate for it to turn out to be a chronic thing he has to deal with every season. It might behoove him, and us, if he sat for a few games. I mean hell, we're 4-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 He probably won't sit until we are mathmatically eliminated, and even then it might be hard to turn his job over. The experience could be great for Hasslebeck for next year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
