Redskins overwhelm Giants in second half
The last time the Redskins beat the Giants in Washington, they got touchdown passes from Mark Brunell, Patrick Ramsey and Clinton Portis. On Sunday, they only needed Rex Grossman. Grossman made Mike Shanahan look wise for choosing him over John Beck in the Redskins quarterback derby by throwing for 305 yards and two touchdowns. Grossman…

2011 Washington Redskins Mock Draft: To QB or Not to QB?
Ask any Washington Redskins fan what the main need is in this year’s NFL draft and they’ll say a quarterback to replace Donovan McNabb. Rex Grossman is slated at the No. 1 spot for now, but we all know that is just on paper. Ask those same Redskins fans if they remember Heath Shuler, Patrick Ramsey and Jason Campbell, all chosen the No. 1 pick. Everyone knows how they worked...

The Vikings Need To Get Carson Palmer
The Vikings have exactly bumpkus as their quarterbacks. Nothing. Farve is riding a tractor in Mississippi, presumably finally retired for real this time. Tavaris Jackson, who's shown next to nothing is said to be looking elsewhere for a job (lotsa luck). They also have Patrick Ramsey (yes, Patrick Ramsey) as a free agent. In other, clearer words, they have zilch. Nada.Which is...

Portrait of a failure
God bless him, he's trying
The Redskins are a team associated with a lot of NFL Draft and free agency failures in the past 18 years. Let’s say the worst of it began with Desmond Howard in 1992 and later expanded to include Al Noga, Tom Carter, Heath Shuler, Michael Westbrook, Andre Johnson, Dana Stubblefield, Deion Sanders, James Washington, Patrick Ramsey… Lord,...

Top 25 Players: #2
Almost as quickly as the Bowden miracle happened, it ended even quicker.Not capriciously, of course. But the advantages fell away quickly. Bowden’s offense and methodology were quickly copied (Dave Ragone was a 1999 recruit), ending a brief interlude of tactical superiority. There were some good players, notably at quarterback, but Bowden’s approach was a huge part of this success...

Quarterback Clarifications
A few days ago, I listed off all of the Vikings current free agents and said at the beginning of the post that I was sure I was missing a couple, especially with the recent signings of a few players.
It turns out that I was only missing one guy. Quarterback Patrick Ramsey.
While Ramsey is set to become a free agent, and likely won’t be back, some of you might be interested...

Vikings 2011 Free Agents
Much has been made about the Vikings payroll exceeding $150 million in 2010, especially since they are struggling to remain out of last place in the NFC North. There has also been a lot of talk about the roster turnover expected to hit this offseason and the possibility of a rebuilding process.
Not counting some of the recent small time additions to the roster, I count 21 guys...

QB position is the biggest issues of the bunch. The quarterback is the captain and leader of the offense. This position is one of the...

Patrick Ramsey Signs With The Vikings: Tarvaris Jackson To IR
Patrick Ramsey will start for the Vikings if Brett Favre can’t play on Monday. Minnesota signed Ramsey after placing Tarvaris Jackson on the IR with a toe injury. Ramsey last started a game in 2005, which I have to admit, made me chuckle. The Vikings other QB is Joe Webb, which I have to admit, also made me chuckle. They certainly have that franchise headed in the right direction...
