can't believe people are thinking Brunell already and booing Ramsey on the field. especially after throwing 190 yds in the first half without his key weapons. when did we get 190 yds in the air a GAME last season??
us Skins fans are as shellshocked as Ramsey after all these years, but at least he's actively breaking out of it! rejoice, see the improvement.

Yeah...the booing from the fans at a preseason game was just ridiculous. What..are we turning into cryboy fans now? Eagirl fans? Let's cut that crap out. Bottom line is: Ramsey all the way. He was drafted under Spurrier and backed up studs like Shane Matthews and Danny Weurfell so there was nothing to learn there..no mentors. Then he gets thrust into the game against Tennessee and with nothing but his own mettle, wins the friggin' game even after being beaten to death.
He survives (barely) that "system" only to be injured, given a new system when Gibbs is hired and the new head coach brings in a veteran qb to challenge him as the incumbent starter. Oh...and then his best friend on the team and the team's best lineman goes down with an injury in the 1st preseason game. He gets thrust into the Giant game in week 2 (which was a lost cause) he throws 3 int's trying to fix the mess we were in and everyone wants to kill him. Jesus Christ!!!!! What do you people expect?? Marino went into an established system that had been in place for years with a good teacher in Don Strock to guide him. Significant? You bet. Same can be said for MOST other QB's that have had success...Brady, Roethlisberger, Mcnabb etc.
Patrick has had no stability. He has been beaten up physically, emotionally, spiritually and now from the fans. BUT... he is still plugging. I love this guys guts, determination and drive and willingness to not let it get him down. Hmmmm.."guts, determination, drive..." : these might be qualities I want in a QB.
Pat will be our starter for the whole year and I look forward to him showing why he will continue to be for years to come.
just my opinion...
