I tend to agree with NFLeurope, I don't see us dealing Patrick away unless it's a great offer.

Gibbs places great value on QB depth, always has and always will.

Gibbs knows that Ramsey did a solid job at the end of last year and based on that, he gave him the starting job. It wasn't Gibbs' fault that PR did nothing during the offseason and preseason to show that he had solidified himself as the unquestioned starter. Patrick left the door cracked open, and the injury against the Bears was the convenient excuse to make the switch.

Sure Patrick scoffed initially, but since then he's played the good soldier routine to a T. Deep down he has to know he wasn't ready to lead the offense the way Brunell has. Hopefully he's learned some valuable lessons this year and will be ready to step up his game when called upon again.

He still has a year left on his deal, I don't see us trading him for anything less than a 2nd rounder or a package deal for a top flight DE.
