QB Battle

I love all this talk about the QB battle because it actually means that we have a couple of good guys to choose from. Both guys will play this year (what are the chances an NFL starter makes it through the whole season without getting nicked up) and the fact that we have these two helps our chances. I think Brunell will get the nod initially, but I can see Ramsey playing later in the year, ESPECIALLY IN THE PLAYOFF RUN! Here's hoping.

Carr is on an expansion team and has played well considering, Harrington plays for the wost organization in the league. I'd say cant tell on Carr and a bit of a disappointment for Harrington.

Maybe its too soon to call him a disappointment (in the long term) but as of right now he is the 3rd best QB on this team and that is disappointing for a 1st round pick.

PR is the 3rd best QB on this team. For a 1st round pick he has proven to be a major disappointment.


What are you smoking?

Ramsey has proved that he can play in the NFL. He had rough year last season, but it was only his 2nd year. Plus he was beat up badly and had no running game to support him. Alot of teams have alot of respect for him because for all the beatings he took. He kept on getting up and never criticized the O-Line or the coaching staff. The kid is tough and he will be a good QB in this league.

If he's a dissapointment, then why was Chicago, and Miami interested in trading for him?

You might want to look at Joe Crisp's camp reports, or the newspaper reports.

Both P.Ram, & Brunnel are better than Hasselbeck.
Ram is faster on the throw, and better at getting back and set than Brunnel.

Which means, HOF Coach Gibbs likes Brunnel for his smarts & leadership, and P. Ram for his grittiness.

A team simply has to have two, quality starting QB's. Neither would start and end the entire season! Along the way, the starter will get dinged up, and need replacing.

My choice would not have been to trade for Brunnel. But HOF Coach Gibbs has a different plan. Depth is key, and is critical.

Through the first 6 games last year he was leading the league in passing yards.

I think it's a huge stretch to call him the 3rd best QB, Hasselbeck is solid but nothing spectacular.

If Hasselbeck wins the #2 job I'll eat some big time crow, but I don't see any chance of that happening.

Irish, what has happened so far in camp that would make you proclaim Ramsey a disappointment and #3 on the depth chart? It's not like he's stunk up the joint while Brunell and Hasselbeck have shined. They've all had their moments. Brunell hasn't been all that sharp and neither has Hasselbeck. They all seem to be on the same page right now.

Fellas I don't think Irish is saying Hasselbeck is the 2nd best QB on the team. I think he's really talking about Rod Gardner! The man is Hall of Fame bound with that touchdown throwing arm of his. LOL

Seriously though, considering where many 1st round QBs have been going into their third year I'd say Ramsey is doing just fine. And let's not kid ourselves the last couple of years we can't say we've been a definitively better organization than the Lions

PR is the 3rd best QB on this team. For a 1st round pick he has proven to be a major disappointment.

Just flat wrong. Hasselbeck has one advantage over Ramsey, and that is his very quick release. Ramsey definitely needs to improve in this area, but is far better overall. Hasselbeck has been very eratic. (I hope you were not saying Hamden is 2nd best LOL.) Gibbs has made it clear he does not want to lose Ramsey, and that he has a good future with the Redskins. I would love to see Hasselbeck get an opportunity to prove himself in the NFL because I thing he has real potential, but if he stays in Washington, it may be a long wait.

The last few days I had read all about how TH is doing great while PR & MB are looking so-so. Todays paper made it sound like MB & PR looked good in last night's super secret scrimmage game at potomac falls high school.

In the end I think TH would be a better back-up qb than PR because he does not see himself as a potential star while PR believes he is a star in the making and would not deal well with being a back-up. I am certain that if the skins keep only 2 qbs then TH and his piece of ass wife will be riding off into the sunset.
