Why Did Ramsey Really Go to the Jets?

It just has never made sense to me. Pennington is the starter, that has been injured, but Ramsey is still the back up. The experts all have said that the Jets will most likely pick a QB. So why would Ramsey want to go to media crazy NY with all of the possible issues at hand. Seems he would have been safer here with our situation or another team that had instability at QB and not such a high draft choice.

I would say that the Jets have an unstable QB situation. He was told he would be able to compete for the starting job but he has heard that one before. The Jets have a weak armed QB to throw short int's and they thought that a long int. would give them better field position.

he picked his own poison he wanted a trade he got one bottom line he will have to earn his position!

Let's face it, nobody was offering him a starting job. At least in NY he'll have a realistic shot at competing. Pennington's arm was a limp noodle last year and he's again coming off surgery. He has a decent shot at beating Pennington out, at least early on when Pennington is still recovering.

Bottom line; Ramsey wants to be the man. He always wanted to be the man even w/ his best bud lefty at the helm last year. So, he jumped ship because he probably feels that Pennington is done. The guy had a weak arm to start- the injury probably shortened his career.

Ramsey went to NY because they were willing to take him. His options were slim and none, folks. He took what he could get.

He liked his chances better trying to compete with an injured Chad Pennington than he did competing with Brunell in the here and now, and then competing with Campbell down the road.

Nobody buys Patrick Ramsey as a franchise QB, except for Offiss, and he's not a GM. If Ramsey is going to get a starting job, he's going to have to beat someone out for it. He's not good enough to just be handed the reins unquestionably. He needs to earn his career, starting now.

Ramsey could probably have started in San Francisco. I'm just not sure if Alex Smith is really as bad as he seemed last year, or if it was the lack of a team surrounding him.

If you're going to bring someone in to upgrade over your former #1 pick overall, he better either be rock-solid or have TONS of potential. That would explain why the 49ers didn't look at Ramsey, because he doesn't fit either of those criteria.

pennington isnt the answer and i think the jets are taking ferguson,not a qb

In the beginning there were several teams interested in Ramsey. Dolphins, Lions, Jets, and maybe a couple of more. Washington was asking way too much for him so teams went other routes, especially when Culpepper , breeze and other vets became available. I think he went to Jets because they were the only team on the table with a draft pick offer. No one really knows if he is a frachise QB or not. He does have what you look for, arm strengh, toughness, smarts, and we all know the kid has heart. To stand in there and take a beating like he did a couple of years ago answers that question. He needs a fresh start and an opportunity to become a starting QB. When he does, teams will then see if he is a good QB, which I think he will be.
