fuji869 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 If I had to bet the mortgage it would be the Marc Brunnell will be the starer on Sept 12th. But you never know..... :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinGodfather Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Ramsey had no shot form the get go...it would not make sense for what the signed him....He only is slated to make 600k when he is the back-up...no reason to have an 8 million dollar qb on the bench who can lead this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Happy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Please stop saying Brunell is going to get the start because of his contract. Gibbs will play the QB that gives the team the best chance to win no matter what his contract is or isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF4L Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Ramsey doesn't deserve to start. He's not playing well enough. Aren't you watching him this preseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 He hasn't exactly 'seized' the mantle of starting QB to date. I love Ramsey, but he looks every bit the understudy right now. I will say he's been a little unlucky, had a number of big throws dropped in the preseason, gotten far worse field position in general than Brunnell, etc.. But the bottom line is he's only been average, Brunnell slightly above average. Its a no-brainer at this point. Brunnell's looked slightly sharper, and has the experience edge by a country mile. Patrick is #2 this year, barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Right now, Ramsey is playing like a backup quarterback. He isn't showing enough confidence in himself to be the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINtil8tin Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Ramsey didn't look so good. We'll see Brunell now, but I don't see him losing the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojuice00 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Ramsy looks scared folks........The ball just moves better with Brunnell in the game...Point blank Brunnell is our starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbo Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Based on his performance tonight, I think that Gibbs would be crazy to start Ramsey. I think Ray Charles(R.I.P) could've thrown more accurate passes. He just looked craptacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I personally wish we'd never gotten Brunnell, but how much of a fool would I be to say that I don't feel a little re-assurance with Brunell on the roster with the struggles Ramsey has had so far. I know he'll get it together. the guy has a cannon and has the attitude, but is just forcing it. Doing the same things Brett Favre used to do, only without all the INTs that Brett had.

New Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 WOW! How the masses have turned. 23-1. Was it that Patrick was that good last year or was it that our SKINS were that bad! Maybe he was the only bright spot in that terrible experiment known as Steve Spurrier. Right now he hasnt even earned the #2 spot in my mind.

TLusby Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 If Brunell went down I would put Tim in before Patrick! I think he looks that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMac Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Do you think Ramsey will get a honest shot to be the Starter on Sept 12, 2004? Um, what do you think the first month of training camp has been? Ramsey HAD is honest shot...past tense. This contest is over, and the better QB won. What do you think should happen? Forget the first month of practice and start the competition at 0-0, and have a one week shootout? Would that be how Ramsey gets his "honest shot?"

skinsbosoxheels Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I totally agree...Brunell will be the starter...but remember this...Gibbs offense has been totally vanilla in preseason with Portis only getting 4-7 carries per game...you take a smash mouth running game and alot more complex passing game...and for some reason Brunell gets hurt or performs badly...Ramsey will come in the game with less pressure and perform nicely...he is pressing at the moment...but everything will be fine:logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wicked Wop Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I think it is just plain stupid to think that he didn't have a shot. If he came out from the start of camp and clearly played better than Brunell....how much sense would it make not to start him. Everyone keeps throwing the money angle in it, but if you know Joe Gibbs its about putting the guys on the field that give you the best chance to win, regardless of their contracts. That being said, I've more than a little disappointed in Ramsey. I was pulling for him hard last night to do everything possible to keep the competition up for grabs......unfortunatley it looks like a closed deal now.

SkinsGuy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I like Ramsey too, but no, he won't start the regular season. He just hasn't shown anything that says he deserves the starting job. The 2 worst games we've had in the pre-season, offense wise, were the 2 games that Ramsey started (against the Panthers and against the Rams). He was missing wide open receivers, taking too long to get plays off, over-throwning folks by a mile (if folks in the stands were eligible to catch passes, we'd be in great shape with Ramsey, but they aren't). He looks skittish and confused at times. He seems to be forcing things and letting the pressure of the situation get to him. He just isn't ready yet. And I too, and getting sick of some (just some) of the Ramsey apologists who keep saying Ramsey isn't getting a fair shot and Brunell is getting the starting job b/c of his contract. What bunk! Ramsey has had every oppurtunity to show he should be the starter, including two pre-season starts just like Brunell, and Ramsey has shown NOTHING. Every time he is in there, the offense struggles with bad passes, delay-of-game penalties, and LOTS of 3-and-outs. While Brunell hasn't looked perfect, he looks more polished and more ready than Ramsey. And its idiocy to think that Gibbs decisions on the field are based on money and contracts. You don't win 3 Super Bowls that way. Gibbs will put the guys on the field that give the team the best chance to win. Always has, always will. Ramsey will sit for now. And some (again just some) of you Ramsey apologists need to stop being so bitter and making up excuses about why he won't start. Your first loyalty should be to the Washington Redskins, and not one player. I don't think there is one person on this board that didn't want Ramsey to succeed. B/c if he succeeds, the Redskins succeed. But for the Redskins to succeed they have to go with the QB who is, for now, playing better. And right now, that's Mark Brunell.

TheDane Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Ramsey had a chance, but he didn't seize it. Now he has a chance to sit and learn the system for a full year. Combine that with Ramsey's smarts and heart, and that's exciting. I think we'll see a much better QB competition next summer. Remember that right now, Patrick Ramsey is still our QB of the future.
