6 WEEKS AGO: Trade Ramsey, Bench/trade Gardner

[Hogskin]

I got a LOT of flak early in the preseason for advocating a trade of Ramsey for a quality DL. I said trade him WHILE HE STILL HAS SOME VALUE. It is certainly too late now. He stunk it up consistently in the preseason, and continues to stink it up.

All the same holds true for Gardner, except he may have to be held onto for emergency backup. That is all he has ever been worth.

Don't sweat Portis - this was not even close to a typical performance for him. It was for the other two. Gibbs will get this straightened out. As I said on this board many times, Gardner will be on the bench by week 4. And I really believe Hasselbeck has to be promoted to #2 QB behind Brunell - possibly even get a shot at #1 now.
