You know, I hate every Commander that has ever played the game.
There are some that border on respect, like Darrell Green or Riggins, but I still can't stand them.
I hated Patrick Ramsey when he was drafted. Made fun of all the weaknesses that the scouts had pointed out and clowned on the selection.
But I can remember about two, maybe three years ago a game they played against us in Texas Stadium where the kid really showed me something.
I remember we were up by at least two scores, their running game was going nowhere and Zim was opening up the blitz.
Ramsey was getting hit on nearly every passing play, and had to have been sacked five times in the game. I remember incrediously watching as his own OL weren't even helping him up, but he pulled himself off the turf and went back at it.
We won.
But I remember watching that performance and realizing that the Skins actually had a QB with a little moxie and ability.
I respected him as a QB then, and I respect him now.
That doesn't mean he's ever a starter in the league again, but you have to consider the good seasons he did have on a TERRIBLE Washington team, his pedigree and his age.
If he'd come here to back up Drew and give us an insurance policy against Romo/Henson busting, I'd be all for it. You know he's got something to prove and it would be great in terms of dissecting the Washington Offense/Defense.
For a low contract with escalators for playing time and performance incentives, I would really have no problem with bringing him in for a look-see.
Am I alone on this?
