I think they can cause problems and hurt feelings. These guys are human, don't forget that. If you're doing your job and they bring in another guy to do it after you gave your all to a company, you might be a little put out too.

QB controversy is bad when you have two terrible QB's and a losing team.
However, when you have two good QB's and a winning team, it is called depth. It is a good thing. The Redskins currently have the second scenario. Just because the QB you like is not the starter does not make it a QB controversy.
I just moved from Boston, after living there for the last five years.
The 2001 Pats won their first superbowl with Brady and Bledsoe on the same team. I can tell you most of Boston wanted Bledsoe to start during the Superbowl. Pat's coach had to actually anounce that Brady would start the SB. This after Brady got them there, and there were plenty of Pats fans that were upset that Bledsoe did not get the nod in the SB.
Even a poll taken after the the SB, it was 50-50 on who should start the next year. This after Brady won the Superbowl, so I understand your loyalty to Ramsey. None of this fan and media controversy prevented the Pats from winning two SB's.
I just think maybe your frustration over Ramsey not being named the starter and anger over the situation has clouded any chance for you to have an unbiased judgement on the QB issue. Every player on a losing team has to EARN their starting job. Especially one with a new coaching staff. This is not a playoff team and Ramsey is not a former probowl QB. All this talk of Ramsey "will be" a future MVP, probowl player, etc. is all talk. This has not happened yet. Ramsey is just an above average QB with a ton of potential.
