Washington Press say Ramsey is getting a Raw Deal

[CpuFan]

After paying lip service to being committed to Ramsey as his starter, Gibbs gave Ramsey all of three series Sunday. Bad blind dates last longer than that. Okay, we all pretty much knew it was a matter of time before Gibbs might want to get a look at Brunell, his hand-picked choice to play the position. But three series ? That's not a short leash, it's a choke collar. It's like he was looking for some reason to yank Ramsey, and the hang-'em-high sack that sent Ramsey to the sideline was the bit of intervention that gave Gibbs his opening. If I were Ramsey, having been undermined for the second straight season, I'd be enraged. Frankly, that's a move I expect from Mike Martz, coach of the St. Louis Rams, not Gibbs, a man of patience and faith to whom one's word means everything.

Ramsey has a long, long way to go to prove he can be a playoff quarterback, but to be yanked after three series is insanely unfair. If a coach thinks that little of his starter, then don't put him in there in the first place. You think the player can't sense he's not trusted?

Brunnel is better, Life is not fair. What is the coach suppose to do wacth him futs around and make a change when the season is lost. Saban made fast decisions with our team over and over again.

Brunell may be better, he certainly had his moments in the past, but Ramsey was the younger guy with upside. He played very well before Spurrier's o-line got him crushed, but Gibbs shafting him last year made him lose his confidence. Brunell stunk it up horribly last year, and if Gibbs wanted him to start this year, he should have at least made the competition open in TC.

You've been a member since 2003 and you don't know where to put a thread like this?

Yeah but with Campbell being the future there, you might as well let him learn from a veteren former pro bowl QB.

What is your problem with me posting this thread? Get a life man, I am enjoying mine so get off my back ...

I posted this in the dolphin forum because many were talking about Ramsey
for the Fins...

So you need to edit your thinkng I think!

 

[Wildbill3]

Well it is in the right forum now, anyway, there isn't one amoung us who didn't want ramsey last year, and would've taken him this year over Gus, and feeley. Ramsey has the potential to be a very good qB and it sucks that he is stuck on a teamt that seems intent on ruining his career. And brunell didn't look better than ramsey last year.

Good article overall, and it points to Ramsey being among the worst decision makers in the league. It's on Insider, so I'll post the excerpt on Ramsey:

One of the most surprising things I found with bad decisions is that it doesn't take many bad decisions on a percentage basis to separate the best QBs in the league from the worst. Peyton Manning was one of the best decision makers last year, ranking third in the league, averaging only two bad decisions per 100 passes. Patrick Ramsey was one of the worst, ranking 30th in the league, yet he averaged only about five bad decisions per 100 passes.

I would like to know who the judge of making bad decisions is and where Feely/Fiedler was ranked last year?
