This sounds like the same premature talk last year about Ramsey being the next Bret Farve, ProBowl and Hall of Famer.
I hope for all our sakes and the Redskins, they both become all of this and more...
However they need to prove it on the regular season playing field before we induct them into the hall of fame. Good play on the practice field does not alway translate into great play in real games. Real games are much intense, physical and faster paced than practice. I will reserve my judgement on Taylor Jacobs until he proves on a consistent bases in real games. Placing Jacobs in front of Gardner, McCants and even Thrash in the depth chart is premature.

I don't think that's fair to Taylor Jacobs. First off, he was hurt most of the year trying to adjust to the NFL. Second, you could make that same argument for any college player, look great in college but not good enough in the pros. Sure, Jacobs may not move up the depth charts, but if his production in college and so far in mini camp may show that he will be better than Gardner.
