Gibbs: "We had a really good draft!"

[Daseal]

I wanted Williams, but I could see the CB pick. Rogers was #2 on my CB board and PacMan was gone. He's a good player, I would have preferred Williams, a lot, but I could stomach the pick. Campbell however...

Jason Campbell was a courageous draft pick by Joe Gibbs.

The reality is that Gibbs is not convinced that Ramsey is the best player to rest the Redskins' future on. I love that we can give Ramsey a last chance and bring Campbell along without the pressure.

I also am glad Mark Brunell is on the team. With him being at full health for next year, and with a stable offensive line, he may get a chance to show that the old Mark Brunell who has had such an admirable career can still play. People blithely dismiss Brunell and ignore the circumstances which dramatically limited his ability to perform. If Ramsey falters, we can go to Brunell, expect a much different calibur of play, and still let Campbell wait in the wings.

Ramsey still has a chance, and I wish him luck. But there is no way in my book that we should invest the future of the team in a player who has yet to show great promise. He may yet do that, but Gibbs owes it to the team and the fans not to gamble that Ramsey will develop the way we hope he will.

How can u believe that?? When was Ramsey given a chance by Gibbs. Ramsey is a good QB n in the right system n under a good coach who gave him confidence he would have done better.
We traded 3 PICKS for an unproven QB who a lot projected as a 2nd rounder!! As far as Brunell is concerned I think he should never come on the field when regular season starts. See with everything that is happening I am not amazed that Coles just up and left. When your own coaching staff is doing everything in the world to undermine you n your confidence, what's the point.
As far as Ramsey is concerned I firmly believe that Gibbs has not given him a leg to stand on n grow. This year instead of giving him more weapons like a dominant WR he drafts Campbell who will not see any playing time for atleast 2 years!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WE DRAFTED A QB!!

So how was Ramseys circumstances different from Brunell, other than Brunell having the good pleasure of working with the first team and getting the majority of reps for half a season? Ramsey outplayed Brunell under worse conditions than Brunell encountered, but Brunell we are to believe was a victim of circumstances? If any body gets that kind of slack its Ramsey.

The fact that you give Brunell such praise should only bolster confidence in ramsey considering he outplayed such a savey QB, with less experience in the same offense.

I will say this for the last time Ramsey is more talented than Rypien, Schroeder, Williams, or Humphries, but he's been thrown to the wolves since day 1 give the guy a chance to have some stability, all I here is how we came on at the end of last season, but Ramsey has to go, he played half a season last year in a new offense, AGAIN! And yes it was the second half.
