Al Saunders Press Conference

I'm getting a weird vibe that Gregg Williams may not be Gibbs' successor after he re-retires. Title for Saunders is ASSOCIATE coach - offense. Title for Williams is ASSISTANT coach - defense. Being an associate is being equal to Gibbs, while being an assistant is under Gibbs. Maybe I'm reading into it too much.......

Wow, I am so impressed with the organization that Joe Gibbs, and Dan Snyder are building. After listening to Gibbs, and Saunders today I can't imagine a free agent not wanting to come to DC to play. I also think that Saunders put an end to any specalation that Ramsey might stay. When he was asked about the Personel on the team he talked about Brunell have his best year and a first round draft pick with a lot of tools, no mention of Ramsey at all. I think that is very telling. I am really looking forward to March first to see who we add to this team.

The Redskins probably wouldn't be fooling anyone. But shouldn't they at least act like Ramsey is still a part of their plans? That they're at least considering the option of him being their QB. If nothing else, it gives the impression that if other teams want him they'll have to pry him away from us. Not that we'll just hand him out to the first bidder.

Perhaps they already have a deal worked out in principle for a trade to another team.

I guess I don't think they can do that b/c Gibbs isn't going to lie to Ramsey. Gibbs has been pretty clear that he would like Ramsey to stay to give Gibbs depth but that he doesn't trust him to start yet. With the drafting of Campbell, any thought that Ramsey might stay went out the window.

Despite what Offiss (and other Ramsey fans) think, he has been gone for some time. Even if he stays this year, it is to hold the clipboard. He would likely be the number 2 and provide great depth, but no way he starts unless Brunell goes down. Next year he is an UFA, so this is the year to trade him and get something. Hopefully a third but maybe not even that much.

If Ramsey tells Gibbs, I want to play here next year even as a back up - then MAYBE, just maybe he stays. But if Ramsey can't accept that he is not in competition for the number 1 spot, then he will be traded for whatever we can get.

i think alot of us are reading into something that may be nothing at all.if ramsey cannot get fair market value for a former #1 pick,he will be staying,plain and simple.he is familar with the redskins and at the very least a quality back up.the skins arent going to give him away

I agree with you completely Dmek25

The question, however, is "What is fair value?" After four years, being a "former No.1 pick" does not in and of itself carry much value (e.g. Koren Robinson, Rod Gardner). He is a QB with starting experience and a potential upside, so yes, I agree he has value.

Also, I think that a lot depends on what he wants to do. If he does not want to be here, or more accurately, wants to be somewhere else where he has a legitimate shot at starting - Gibbs will honor the request. In which case, Gibbs will get the best deal he can for him and send him on his way.

If Ramsey wants to stay, he will stay (for the reasons you mentioned). If he wants to go AND the Skins can get something more than a 6th rounder for him - he will go.

Bugel is already the assistant HC - offense, so I think they had to get creative in making a title for Saunders that would put him above Bugel, but without "demoting" Bugel.

I wouldn't read into it, but that's just my opinion.

i dont think anything but at least a second round pick will do.no one in the nfl really knows what p ramsey will do in a full season running an nfl offense with some protection

Yup, I'd say a late second or early third.
