Patrick Ramsey's Future

I think one of the more intriguing stories on the Redskins will involve Patrick Ramsey's future. Considering we traded a considerable amount of picks to trade up and draft Jason Campbell, I would say the writing on the wall is fairly clear.

At the same time, Ramsey has at least one year to prove his mettle before they even consider giving Campbell a shot.

My question is, what happens if Ramsey has a decent year and ends up with a QB rating in the neighborhood of 80-85. What if another team were to offer a top-10 first round pick for him. Would you make the trade, knowing that he had one more year left on his contract and that you had Gibbs' guy waiting in the wings?

I'm only concerned because BRUNELL was Gibbs' guy also.

Unless Ramsey stinks up the joint, I'd say the job is his to lose for the next 2 years, or unless Campbell is just so impressive he ends up beating Ramsey out next year.

I just hate to think that we might end up having Ramsey playing out his contract, leaving as a free agent, and not get anything in return for the guy.

If a top 10 pick is offered at the end of the year. It's gonna be hard for the Skins not to try and take it. He has one final chance though here so lets hope for the best.

Unless we make the playoffs and Ramsey has an 85+ QB rating, I'd take the top 10 pick in a heartbeat.....and I'm Ramseyfan.

LOL. Just funny how you put that man.

I'm serious though. I'm Ramseyfan because I love the guy - he's got heart, he's humble, he's a hard worker, he's got a howitzer for an arm, and he'll take one...or two, or three, or four....for the team.

BUT, I'm a Redskins' fan first, a Ramseyfan second. I recognize that our franchise can only afford to give him or two more FULL seasons to show why he's our franchise quarterback. Fortunately, I think he'll be good enough next season to make us hesitate about taking even a top 10 draft pick.

I have been a big supporter of Ramsey, I just feel he can be an elite QB in the NFL, my biggest concern is that he doesn't get scapegoated while Gibbs is still trying to catch up.

First I'd like to say that I think Ramsey is a great player. I think he can be a great QB in this league with a monster arm. He reminds me of Favre a little bit, but not on that plateau yet, by a long shot.

Anyhow, I'm curious if the drafting of Campbell (including ditching our 1st next year) wasn't related in us trying to trade Ramsey after the season to recoup that 1st we gave up for Campbell. It will be curious how it pans out. I think both QB's are very good, but Gibbs just doesn't seem to want to give Ramsey the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully Ramsey gets a full year and plays great, but then we have an expensive first round pick sitting on the bench.
