Patten on Ramsey

ESPN


Redskins WR David Patten, telling PFW the differences he has noticed so far between Tom Brady and Patrick Ramsey: "[Ramsey] has all the capabilities. It's just a matter of him taking hold of them. I was telling Pat, when I see him, I see Tom Brady four or five years ago. Pat has that same command; he takes charge of the huddle. Tom just has that knack; he can make any throw. Patrick has such a strong arm. It's just going to come down to him developing that touch."


Nice compliment for our bot Ramsey, I believe he will take that step this season and become an elite QB in the NFL.

And then he'll make room for Jason "Canton" Campbell! Offiss' favorite Skins draft pick ever, haha!

Seriously though, there are really no excuses left for Ramsey this year and I fully expect him to step up and have a big year. And Patten will play a big part in getting him there.

I'm thinking 20-25 TDs 10-12 INTs

If Ramsey doesn't take the step this year he will never take it. Sorry folks, it's step up or bust year for him...forever a career backup!

I've got a good feeling about PR this year, it's his time to shine.

I do too. People won't just be making up what they've seen at camp.

PR can be a playmaker this year instead of just being a serviceable QB. He has red zone targets in Cooley and Royal, deep threats in Patten and Moss, a game-breaking RB in Portis, a tough between-the-tackles runner in Betts, a healthy Jon Jansen, and a year in Gibbs' system. I can see him performing well, I think this year he can make some serious plays.

He better, we have run out of excuses for him.
Besides his level of play, the play of the offensive line will be the biggest factor for Ramsey. If the line can generate a strong running game and give him time to throw, Ramsey's job will be much easier.
Sort of like what happened to Rypien in 1992. Rypien had so much time he could eat a ham sandwich behind the hogs and still throw deep the WR's.

I think that we are going to see a real commander in the huddle this year. It will be the first time in a long time. Now that Pat will know where his dump off passes are, he will be more relaxed about reading the field and going for the long ball. Guys are right, it's time for him to step up!

If Ramsey can stay healthy and our running game gets better this year, I see him having his best year. Theres no excuse for him. The o-line should be improved with Rabach, and Jansen, and now he has receivers that can get open with their speed.

If Ramsey can't get it done this year, it's definitely time to move on.

He should have a great running game behind him, a very good offensive line in front of him, and plenty of speed and experience at WR.

Plus it's his 2nd season in this system, we saw what happened in his 2nd season in Spurrier's system, he was leading the league in passing yards after the first 4 weeks of the season until the constant pounding caught up with him.
