Hey, back in the day, Clemens beat out Patrick Ramsey - he must be an all-star!
Patrick Ramsey is one of the all-time great Redskins QBs and you will not speak ill of him
I'm more of a Beck skeptic.
I wonder what film he's talking about though. If he means last years preseason or the daily practice footage that none of us have access to. Still it's actually kind of relieving to see Shanahan make such a hard play to back Beck.
He's basically saying trust us, we know a heck of a lot more than the fans do.

Look at it this way, Shanahan had plenty of chances to upgrade the QB spot if he wanted to. He could have drafted someone, traded for someone, or picked up a free agent. So why is he rolling with Beck or Rex? I'd love to hear a legit response. And don't even bring up tanking for Luck.
Sheer arrogance and incompetence. They did bring in McNabb for a second round pick only to let him go the following year afterall. It seems to me they are simply throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks.

Shanahan is really sticking his neck out for this guy and I really have no idea why. He keeps going back to his BYU days. Does he realize that was in freakin' 2006 and it was college ball in a conference that plays NO DEFENSE? I can't wrap my head around his man crush for this guy. A noodle arm on deep throws isn't going to cut it in Nov. and Dec. when the weather is bad. He realizes we get bad weather here. Right??
Not to change this around but this is why Tom Brady is such a great QB. Better than Manning. He can sling it and put it on the money in any kind of weather....rain, snow, sleet... doesn't matter.

Yes he does but to me this is almost a little too ego driven.
He's sticking his neck out for him because he believes he can play.
If Shanahan showed one thing last year, it's he's not a good liar.
So I tend to believe he's serious about Beck, and KS was also a big fan of Beck prior to him coming here.
Crazier things have happened. Not sure why so many refuse to believe he could actually be a decent starter.
Yes he does but to me this is almost a little too ego driven.
Personally, I like that.

Well......that's just ridiculous, right?

Hey **** you guy! I'll have you know that I've won 4 consecutive Fantasy Football leagues, and have been the Madden tournament winner 3 out of the past 5 years! I'm the best arm chair GM you'll ever meet and that alone makes me qualified for a position as a Coach/GM/Talent Evaluator!!! I won't even mention all the Dirtbag59 game film I've gone over.

Former Redskin Patrick "If only I got a fair shot I'd be an all-star" Ramsey?
Damn he must be good then! I retract my previous statement based on the grounds that I was unaware of Kellen Clemens' accomplishments. Up to this point I thought Clemens' only accomplishment was teaching Brett Favre how to send picture messages on his phone.
