Ramsey Yap

i kinda agree with diesel. while qbs were not run out of town, redskins fans expect to have a probowl caliber quarterback every year.
every year, the backup was always considered the savior. hell i remember people saying the skins could rebuild around cary conklin.

redskins fans dont give the Starting QB a chance to learn the system. if a qb has a subpar year, we think they cant every play in the system and we cry for a new QB.look a few threads down, you can see some fans are calling for hasselbeck, you got to be F'in kidding me. brunell is still a great Qb, but he is in a new system. ramsey has the potential to be a great QB, but he is in a new system.

we need more patience. QB is a tough position to play. theisman and rypien struggled there first years in joe gibbs offence.

jamf, why do you feel the fans expect a PRO BOWL QB? I sure don't. All I have done is point out some basic, fundamental, serious flaws that Ramsey has had since the day he arrived, and has made absolutely no progress on. This has nothing to do with learning a new system. Even Brunell said yesterday, the weak QB play has nothing to do with learning the new system.

And as far as expectations, I am satisfied that Brunell can do an adequate job this season. I have not called for TH to be installed as the starter. I said he should be #2 behind Brunell at this point, with the total lack of any sign of development in 25 months with Ramsey. Now, if you asked me who should start THIS week if Brunell can't go, I would say go with Ramsey THIS week. WHY?? Because TH has had virtually no time with the #1 offense yet. If he is installed as #2 the next couple weeks, he will get "some" practice time and preparation with them.

We don't need a PRO BOWL QB, especially in a Gibbs offense. But you need a guy than can make good decisions, and NOT take too long to make them. I hope Ramsey tears it up this Monday night (we're almost certain to see more DOWNFIELD attacks than with Brunell), but I really think we will see a high number of sacks again with him in there - our line will again get the blame for his issues. It was amazing how a raw rookie came in last year after the Redskins were breaking all records for getting sacked, and suddenly there were hardly any more sacks. Think about it...
