Poor Ramsey, Backup again!

where the hell is offiss when you need him?

I'll play the part of offiss for the moment, but without the exaggeration of certain players abilities. The reason Mangini has taken so long to make the decision is because while Pennington has thrown for more yards in the preseason, Ramsey has a higher passer rating. Ramsey is also far tougher than Pennington. Regardless of who starts the season, I'm sure Ramsey will probably get ample playing time this year, considering Pennington's injury history.

I'm not even sure he will get to play, if the Jets season goes in the tank which it probably will, they'll probably just turn Clemens loose.

Just curious, Clemens is younger right? that's why he's seen as having more upside than Ramsey?

I thought Ramsey played relatively well two weeks ago, lord knows he's familiar with Laveraneus, but he didn't play A DOWN this past weekend. didn't bode well...

I bet that Ramsey might even be cut!

Mangini (Gibbs) lied to Ramsey when he told him he would have a fair chance at competing for the starting job. Pennington (Brunell) is Mangini's (Gibbs') guy. Ramsey was never given a chance (by Gibbs). I hope Ramsey goes somewhere and gets the opportunity to showcase his skills and becomes a Pro Bowl QB (career backup).

Well now Ramsey is riding the bench in New York. If this guy can't beat out Pennington, what does that say about him?

It says he is a lucky SOB! I wish I could be good enough to ride the bench in the NFL and get bad huge money.

I was never a band wagoner for Ramsey but I do recognize that he could have been a good QB In this league if he had a chance to drop and pass the ball with some protection. He's just so immobile that the quality of his arm and accuracy could never be fully utilized. I think Spurrier's retarded blocking schemes combined with the immobility have basically ruined him. He could have been a decent starter is allowed to develop properly. C'est la Vie.


Given his current skill set, I've always thought the Raiders would have been a good fit for him. I think he and Al D. will still meet up in Silver and Black.

I remember reading that in college Ramsey took a beating as QB coming out of Tolane. If he can't get past the Spurrier years how can he make it in the NFL. Alot of other QB's have taken a beating and had great careers in the NFL. Aikman to name one took a ton of hits his first two seasons and the skins dished out alot of them.

Not to derail the point of this thread too much, but Mangini is the new dumbest coach in the league. Running flea flickers, reverses, and onside kicks in the preseason is not the sign of a good NFL head coach. On top of that, between Pennington's accuracy, Ramsey's arm, and Clemens wheels, he's got one good quarterback. He's definitely set up for failure in New York. I'll be surprised if he's still there next season.
