-- Ramsey Likely to Start Regular Season Opener --
Fri Jun 23, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com
ESPN's John Clayton reports New York Jets QB Patrick Ramsey is likely to start in the regular season opener over QB Chad Pennington. Pennington continues his slow recovery, but is unlikely to rise above the team's No. 2 quarterback position before the 2006 regular season begins. The Jets would prefer not to start rookie QB Kellen Clemens at the beginning of the season, and the Jets have already seen what QB Brooks Bollinger did in a handful of starts in 2005. So, that leaves Ramsey as the most likely candidate to start opening day.
Written like a guy sitting in an office scratching his ***s. Pennington is going to start..... and Ramsey may not make the roster. This isn't just my opinion, i6t's pretty much across the board with the NY beat reporters. This is an excerpt from a chat with Rich Cimini, the NY Daily News beat reporter:[GimmeShelter] 8:48 pm: Any thoughts on Ramsey, Rich?
[RichCimini] 8:49 pm: Yeah. He really struggled in minicamp and he seemed frustrated. Strong arm, tends to force the ball. Seems like a nice guy. I just can’t see him beating out Chad — presuming Chad is healthy.
The jury is WAAAAAAY out on this one. It's June..... Clayton is bored.
PS: I could go get at least six more sources to contradict Clayon here....
Clayton may be on to something...Per KFFL:
