I really like Ramsey as well and do not want him traded. He will be a great QB soon.. but...Ramsey was drafted with the last pick of the first round and is worth a 1st round pick, but not the #1 pick.
Ramsey also still has some faults he needs to work on (he holds on to the ball way too long, is not very good at side stepping the pass rush around him and is very slow footed). Gibbs obviously saw these flaws and that is why he gave up so much for Brunell, to give Ramsey more time to develop.
I also think Ramsey will not want to resign with us when his contract is up. I think Ramsey feels he deseved the starting job and has been cheated out of it. As much as Ramsey respects Gibbs, he might want to prove him wrong with another team for demoting him now.
With that in mind, if Ramsey has huge trade value now, it might be worth at least hearing what other teams would give up for him. If he does not resign with us when his contract is up, what good is developing him into a star QB and losing him for nothing.
