The Ramsey Dilemma

[Shane]

"The realization is growing that, relative to most quarterbacks his age, Ramsey has had very rudimentary football schooling. In high school, he was nationally known as a javelin thrower as much or more than a quarterback. At Tulane, hardly a college power, he spent most of his time proving his courage behind poor offensive lines. Then, finally, as a Redskin, he spent two years of his career learning the one offensive system on the planet that is of no use whatsoever to an NFL quarterback: Steve Spurrier's chuck 'n' duck"

I am beginning to think that Patrick Ramsey may have had it right when he made noises about wanting to be traded after Mark Brunell arrived. The Redskins are in a big push to win as soon as possible. Can Ramsey learn fast enough? Time will tell.

I think Ramsey would be better off playing for a team that is not in the race for the playoffs, who need to develop a young quarterback, and who might give him some starts.
