Using a high pick on QB.

[MTK]

Barely developed? I dunno, I just don't see it. I thought he played very well in the 2nd half of the year and showed signs that he was close to turning the corner.

Of course he has room to improve but I don't think he's so far off that this season is a make or break year for him.

Had Gibbs stayed I dont think it would be a make or break year but he didnt. These are new coaches that didnt draft JC and IMO that makes a huge difference (much like Gibbs didnt draft PR, I really think it made a difference to Gibbs). JC is not terrible by any means but he is nowhere close to being worth the 3 draft picks the Skins gave up for him 4 years ago. That said I dont think the Skins are in "need a QB" mode yet but by the end of the season we will know.

Looking back now I think it's clear that Ramsey just wasn't starting material. If he could have played I'm not sure it would have mattered much to Gibbs whether he drafted him or not.

Its always easier with 20/20 hindsight. Of course if he could have played Gibbs wouldnt have had a problem but like you said, he couldnt. So far, its not clear that JC is startinig material so like you say, if he shows he can play Zorn will keep him. The problem is its not obvious that JC is starting material.

I think you mean, its not certain.

It IS pretty obvious, but you CAN make an argument to the contrary.

No, I mean its not clear. 2 of the 3 kinds of passes he cant consistently complete (short & mid range). He's been in the league awhile now and still is very inconsistent and inaccurate. I mean there is still doubt if he is starting material.
