Ramsey and McCants

[celts32]

There is no decision in football harder or more important than deciding when to throw in the towel on a QB drafted in round #1.

That decision to "toss in the towel on a QB taken in the first round" is made even harder by the fact that Danny Boy claims credit for "discovering" Ramsey at Tulane and making sure he was taken with the Skins' first pick. People don't like the decision to bench Ramesy; but on that level, what Gibbs is doing takes a huge set of onions. He's telling the omniscient Danny Boy that the QB he discovered and fawned over for several years just isn't quite good enough to get the job done here.

Anyone else want to bring that kind of news to Danny Boy when he controls your paycheck and benefits? If so, I hope you have the unemployment office on speed dial...

Great point. I didnt really see it as a clash at the top, but perhaps thats what it is. Fact is, Ramsey may still be a good qb in this league but that probably won't happen in dc. It may be a minor consolation, but I do recall that Danny Boy wanted Moss over Gardner so at least he got his wish on that regard.

McCants had to go, true he's a good red zone target and proved that with 6 tds in 2003, but he's the 4th wideout and he doesn't play special teams which is a huge no-no. No crying about him leaving.

Ramsey didn't get a fair shot, but given Brunell's age and injury history I'd say it is only a matter of time.
