Just to put things in perspective...

1. Skinsguy: Look back at the number of posts and my involvement at this site through last season, and then tell me how or why a "fair-weather fan" would spend any amount of time paying attention to or writing posts about a struggling team heading for a 6-10 record. According to the sentiments I've read, if one dares to criticize the performance of Redskin players after a 28-10 loss, that automatically means one is engaging in "hyper-analysis" or is a "fair weather fan". Interesting.

2. Matty: I do not, nor have I ever expected Patrick Ramsey to magically transform into Peyton Manning. Trust me guys, I wouldn't expect 49 touchdown passes from Patrick Ramsey over the course of 5 years, much less one season. I do however, count on a QB of Ramsey's apparent talent to move the ball rather effortlessly against Carolina Panther second teamers in the first preseason game. But hey, judging from what I've read here recently, I was asking WAY too much.

3. Canthetuna: Look man, no hard feelings OK? You and I want the same thing -- for our team, the Redskins, to kick ass and permanently leave the doldrums of mediocrity of which this team has spent the last 12 years. I guess I'm just a little more skeptical after, yes I know, one preseason game. And again, I'm not calling for Ramsey to be traded, cut, demoted or have him strung up by his testicles and caned. He deserves the rest of the preseason and at least 4 to 5 games into the regular season before he gets pulled. One thing you and I can both agree on, I think, is that we need to see some improvement tomorrow night against the Bengals. That's all.

Peace, my brothers.

You have 384 posts. WhoopTie freakin dah! According to the sentiments I've read, if one dares to say anything postive about the team after they lose a preseason game, then they're accused of having their heads up their asses. I was just as disappointed as everybody else here about the overall performance from the game. I thought the first team offense was disappointing! But dare I say anything positive about our offensive line not giving up a sack, Nemo playing well, Brunell playing well, etc.... suddenly I'm wearing rose colored glasses because I happened to take away a few positive things from a preseason game. Heck, when Gibbs was here the first time during our glory years, we hardly (if ever) had a winning preseason....IT JUST DIDN'T MATTER!

I said look at the number of posts through last season, when this team was stinking it up. Why would a fair weather fan spend ANY time writing posts about a team that was headed for a 6-10 record? I wasn't trying boast about a total of 384 posts. Why, that pales in comparison to your mighty total of 1115 posts! Daseal has the perfect quote at the bottom of all his posts -- "Apparently having unrelenting optimism means your not a fan". Boy, does that ever hit the nail on the head.

Next time read more carefully Skinsguy. I said those who are hellbent on defending Ramsey have their heads up their ass -- not the whole team. And even that was in jest. Certainly there were other individuals on the team that had decent performances. Not as many though that would lead me personally to believe there were "plenty of positives".

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've always been more of the skeptical type. If it makes you feel any better, the next time the team loses by 18 points, I'll be sure to butter you up, comment on how lush the playing field looked, how the uniforms were crisp and clean, and how Ramsey's interceptions had such tight spirals so you can feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
