That Guy:

You asked where someone here had said that Ramsey could turn into someone of the caliber of Peyton Manning. It took a while for me to go and find it, but check this out.

In the thread titled "Let's Play Redskins Owner" and in the first post there, diehardskin2982 says:


"I would hire a coach to work on Ramsey's footwork and mobiltiy skills and make a sound investment in his intellegence and his arm. He can be a Peyton Manning calaber player with proper growth. "


I'm not saying that can't happen because if it did happen that would not violate any of the laws of the known universe. But I will recommend to you very strongly that you do not go out and bet the mortgage money on that proposition! Peyton Manning will be a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee one of these years. It would be wonderful if Ramsey's career also merited that same honor, but nothing to date says that is a likely outcome.

We all agree that Patrick Ramsey's career has only just begun and that he will get better with experience. Now, tell me your opinion on this simple question:

Will Patrick Ramsey's career stats and accomplishments equal those of Peyton Manning's when both of them are retired and living off their pensions?
