The Fall Of Patrick Ramsey

3:21 pm EST October 3rd, 2009 | Sports | 5 Comments

I’ll never believe that Patrick Ramsey got a fair shot when he was the Redskins QB. Coach Gibbs just seemed to not like him, and jumped at the first chance to bench him. Since then, Ramsey’s been knocking about the NFL and just got released by the Titans. Sometimes the QB game is just dumb luck in addition to talent.

    oliver i will never understand why you continue to think ramsey had potential. he was one of the least mobile quarterbacks in the league and could never read NFL defenses very well. it wasn’t bad luck that caused ramsey to be dropped from the rosters of 3 teams after the redskins. even if ramsey was with the redskins, he only has a fraction of jason campbell’s talent and abilities anyway. You need to move on.

    Exhibit B, David Carr, Exhibit C, Joey Harrington.

    OW, Agree with you on Ramsey to some extent. he wasn’t bad when he first came into the league, and it would have interesting to see how he played in a game if he got another shot.

    one trait that he had which either had to be corrected or he could not continue to play, was his tendency to blatantly telegraph, and to lock onto receivers. dont know how much effort the skins put into correcting that, how much was him, etc. but it was big problem.

    agree though, would have liked to have seen him play some more, surpised he never got another shot.

    while we are on this subject — football — just want to bring up a total baseball nut. and how this particular (and extremely influential) baseball nut is doing his best to undermine science and any environmental knowledge in America.

    speaking of which, more on your favorite newspaper, here (much more to follow, too).

    If we’re going to talk about QBs who never got a fair shake, Heath Shuler comes to mind. He was an amazing QB, but got thrust into a situation where he couldn’t possibly succeed and that tarred his reputation.

    It’s better to suffer with a cruddy journeyman if your team doesn’t have the offensive line to protect your young star. In order for a rookie QB to be successful, he needs protection. Shuler had none. And then he got traded to a team where he had even less protection. And then got turfed out of the league.
