If at this point next year he's still having the same problems, then I think it's time to start thinking that he's not going to be The One. For right now, he just doesn't have enough experience in Gibbs' system and in the league in general to write him off.

That sounds totally reasonable. Maybe I am jumping the gun - I get impatient when I don't see improvement in basic technique. The only time I remember giving up on a Redskin then getting surprised was quite a few years back with Barry Wilburn. BURN was the operative term in his first 2 years. He was horrible. I could not believe they were bringing him back. He turned out to have a couple (or few?) real good seasons. But like I said, that is the only one so far - I hope Ramsey makes a second. Nobody could have been pulling for him more in 2002 and the first half of 2003 than I was.
As far as your comments about Spurrier's system, I would agree if it were not such fundamental problems I see in him. But I just don't see how that has any bearing. He doesn't even have to do all that damned checking off at the line on every single play any more. LOL
