Simple Question - When Ramsey starts to play amazing football in a couple weeks....?

[footballhenry]

When Ramsey starts to play amazing football in a couple weeks what will all you Ramsey-bashers say?

Simple Question, I just want to know what the reactions are gonna be.

Ive stuck by the man since Day 1 and will continue to do so until in all certainty I am proven wrong.

Don't even post this. Don't want it to happen, don't even wait for it to happen, just watch and see what does happen.

(that's from Untouchables)

I also have had the wait and see attitude on this. Just hope my gut is wrong and he does start for us.

What will the Snyder haters say? They would have to admit he did something good....

If he starts to play great it should come at no surprise. Before the injuries started to wear on him in '03, he showed he has that potential. Now, he has a much better team around him (as well as much better coaches).

I have faith but I'm not going to crow about it right now.

Because if Pat merely incrementally improves, I don't want to deal with weeks of "he sucks and you said he'd get better" from people who misattribute a plethora of flaws to his game and parrot each other as to how 'great' Boonell looks.

I'm taking credit for Ramsey, in ANY event, though.

Before the draft I was all over KFFL begging Snyder(if reading) to draft the kid and make it happen(via trade down, as it played out.)

When did Ramsey become Akili Smith?

seriously.... when has played so bad?

I think some people need to "blame" someone for their problems or osses.

If Heath Shuler walked into a roster spot tomorrow and started lighting up the league, we'd love him. If Mark Brunell had kicked ***** last season we'd have forgotten Patrick already.

Basically, your question is kind of pointless. If someone wearing a Redskins uniform does well, we love him. If he does bad, even for ONE GAME, we hate him. We are REDSKIN FANS and we blow with the wind.

Patrick Ramsey has gotten more support while not performing well than any Redskin in history. It boggles the mind. I've made more excuses for Patrick over the last few years than I can shake a stick at. DC LOVES this kid. BUT- the magic is wearing off and this city is starting to grow weary of defending him to the rest of the league.

Look at Philadelphia. If Terrell Owens drops the whining act and plays well in WEEK ONE of the season, that city will open it's arms to him again in a heartbeat. Same with any player in any town.

Play well, swell. Play poorly, we act sorely.

People keep talking about the excuses made for him?

2002--Rookie, Carson Palmer didn't even PLAY in his rookie year. Not much talent on this team

2003- Betts and Canidate at RB, terrible system, played a full 10 games? Hurt in his 5th game and had to finally leave in the beg. of the 11th

2004--New coach, new REAL system (plus some mediocre off playcalling) bad preseason, thrown in cold against NYG and might have won it had Rod Gardner not dropped a pass, even with his mistakes. self-admitted ready by Chicago game--thrown in cold against Cincy and first start IN PHILLY(then Pittsburgh) 7 Starts. 3-4(3 losses against class of the league and one defensive letdown vs. 'hail mary'.)


WHAT EXCUSES? people act like dude has played 4 years in one system and started full seasons?

I'm SICK of hearing how we've made excuses, when the dude has barely GOTTEn a chance.

He's started 23 games. Harrington and Carr have like twice that.

I didn't say he did.

[RunPortisRun]

Ramsey will not be the long term QB anyway. To me it's seems he is just here until...

[G-Prime]

Fan of a player not the team syndrome.. I don't care who starts, but what pissed me off is people bashing after the first preseason game.. We don't know how he's going to play..

I hope he lights it up but if he doesn't I won't be sad to see him get benched.. I love PR and I am a fan.. But the TEAM comes first.

Agreed. Nice points, but all EXCUSES.

However, I'm not dissing Patrick AT ALL. The point I'm making is that if a player does well, the fans love him and forgive all. If he doesn't , we don't. Relax, everyone.
