Many people expect us to go after Brees...should we??? Providing Ramsey and Brunell don't impress, who's an option for qb next year? Draft sux, plus gibbs doesn't have time to rebuild

It really depends on Brunnel's health and what Gibbs is really thinking about Ramsey. I think that the teams we are getting ready to face are going to force us to throw. When that happens, Brunnel is going to take some hits and I've already seen him come up limping a couple of times. I'm not sure if he can hold up for three years (or even this year). The way Gibb's thinks, he will either 1) Not go after another QB and that means he really is happy with grooming Ramsey or, 2) Draft or aquire another QB and get rid of Ramsey. I think Brunnel is staying like it or not. I hope Ramsey stays too. I guess well see.

Thats why we should be playing Ramsey now. Lets see what we have before we get rid of it.... we know Brunell is not the future, Ramsey is a question mark.... lets awnser that question now so we know what we have to do in the offseason.

I really wouldnt want to get Breese. He is having an amazing season, but I dont know if this is somthing that he can keep up.

Yes. Brunell 's salary will hurt us against the cap if he leaves within three years but I just can't see Brunell starting next year unless he gets an arm and leg transplant. So another QB would be the best option. But we get another rookie and dump Ramsey? That's a question that has probably entered the coaching staffs mind numerous times this year. Warner's contract is up but that's like shooting yourself in the foot again. Brees would probably be the best choice .

In all honesty, the only way we can even think about looking at another QB is if Brunell decides to retire. There is no way we could afford the CAP hit (somewhere around 7 million or so if I am not mistaken) if we release or trade (not that anyone would take him the way he is playing and the cost of his contract) Brunell. The only thing we can do is hope he finds a way to earn his paycheck.

The next 2 years are really going to hurt us if the Salary Cap isn't increased. We have a lot a big time talent (like Smoot) that aren't getting paid what they deserve. And don't think Pierce and the other players that have stepped up this year won't ask for a bigger contract. I am really concerned what is going to happen with the Cap and all. I think Brunell's contract is really going to hurt us even if he never takes another snap.

I wonder where all the Bree's fan's were last season, apparently he was worse than Ramsey, now all of a sudden he's Johnny U. makes you wonder what playing time and experience in a system can do for a QB's development, he would look great in burgondy and gold sitting on the bench while he learn's a new system, and the way Brunell is fighting his gut's out I don't see anyway Bree's could unseat Brunell. :stop:

Here's the really big question for all the anti Ramsey pro Bree's guy's out there, why did the Charger's draft Phillip River's? Take your time. :D

I guess the fact that Ramsey has made no dent here is good sign that he has no real future with the Redskins. We will be on the upswing by next year and will not have time for Ramsey to develop, because the team will be held back. So the best thing for Ramsey is probably to get traded to a team that will give him some practice snaps and a shot at the starting lineup.

I think we will probably trade for another veteran, draft a quarterback at some level, and give Hasselbeck a legitimate shot to compete in training camp.

I think we spent as much as we can spend on QBs with regard to salary cap space. Brunell's big contract isn't going to go away. We didn't pay him a 9.1 million dollar signing bonus to start for one year then be a backup for the rest of his contract. But can we afford to release him?

Ramsey is due to make 3.5 million over the next two years...which is pretty hefty for someone who can't beat out Brunell despite his terrible performance.

Hasselbeck is not starter material. Period.

I think we have to think about looking at a mid to late round QB to draft and hope we get lucky.
