Didn't like players of other teams taking shots at Blake Bortles, warranted or not.
Absolutely hate what Ramsey did in this interview in regards to "evaluating" other players. It's unprofessional and disrespectful.
Keep the trash talk on the field and among your peers. The occasional planned out barb is okay like he explained in the article, but the unprovoked attacks on those quarterbacks' abilities is overboard.

It's a good thing Jalen is so damn talented, let's just leave it at that.
Jalen being Jalen.
Was an interview over the summer in the offseason. If you expect Jalen not to say things like this then well, you dont know him.
Pretty typical behavior of folks in his age group. Seems like his daddy might have missed some opportunities to teach his boy some humility in among all his other training.
It will certainly supply all the competition with plenty of verbal ammo to antagonize him every time Jalen gets burnt.
Didn't read the article but he's not wrong based on just the headline alone.
"Jalen Ramsey: Josh Allen is trash, Flacco sucks, Big Ben is decent, Matt Ryan overrated"
Josh Allen was already getting trashed by Ramsey awhile back. Not only that. But Allen had to apologize for using racial slurs through Twitter. So I am sure that has a lot to do with his views on him. Flacco is bad enough to where they decided to draft Jackson at QB back in April to potentially move on from him. Big Ben is the only QB I disagree with him on view wise.
He's beyond just decent. He's won two Superbowl titles and he damn near beat you guys senseless in that 2nd half and it was actually the offense that ultimately bailed them out. I would show him just a bit more respect than that. Especially because there's a good chance you'll be seeing them twice in the same season this year.
Matt Ryan is extremely overrated. Not impressed with his regular season statistics. He's another Peyton Manning when you look at his sub par performances in the play-offs. He plays in a dome nine times a year as well. No elements to contest with. It's the same reason I rate Antonio Brown a bit higher over guys like Julio Jones. Again, easier to play when there's no fear of the weather.
The rest of his list is pretty much fair and even. Everything he's said about Wentz and Watson isn't anything we haven't heard already from the MSM and other players around the NFL. He's played every single one of those guys before with the exception of a few rookies and Wentz. Luck hasn't played enough to really gauge where he's at right now. I personally don't care what he says as long as it doesn't get him suspended and he doesn't have to eat crow down the road when he plays these guys again.
There is a difference between confidence and arrogance. Jalen needs to mature.
I wonder how Blake Bortles feels... he mentioned two AFC South QB's as "great", and no mention of his own QB.

Yeah, I don't know him, but he sounds like a fool. He should really learn to think before he opens his mouth. He's embarrassing the franchise.

Exactly. You can have confidence without insulting everyone and calling them trash.
Jalen needs to chill. Very unprofessional.
I enjoyed the GQ article.
By the way - major news flash:
Jalen Ramsey talks lots of trash. All day, every day.
If Jalen reads this thread, y'all are getting blocked on Twitter.

Yeah, maybe some people like it. The only opinions that really matter is Tom Coughlin, Marrone, and the FO.
I just don't like it.

I'm amazed people are surprised by this
Ramsey makes a living talking trash. As long as he can back it up, that's fine. The minute he can't, it will get old very quickly.
I liked what he said. Its all true. Especially the parts about Mariota being the best

“Great quarterback for their team”
Maybe just keeping it light so when he signs with the tacks there’s no bad blood.
Makes you wonder if he is buddies with Tyrod Taylor.
I dont care about this. He sounds unprofessional. But on the otherhand, too many guys across the league are buddies. We need more jerks. My all time favorite NFL player is Kevin Gogan. Dirty, mean, cheapshot artist. NFL needs more players like that. Games are better when the players despise each other.

I agree. They can talk alllllllllllllllllllll the [BLEEP] they want. Don't care. Just better bring your A game and be prepared to back up every single word you've said. But trash talk is apart of his game. He's been like this since day one. And I am sure he was the same way at FSU.
Wouldn't matter if he played here in black and teal or all the way up in Seattle in their blue and silver. He would still be chirpin' up and down the field with his opponents and in the media.
John Randle had a motor that never stopped running physically and verbally. It landed him in the H.O.F. Deion Sanders as well. It's rare you find a soft spoken and quiet player that's considered elite or the top man at his position.
As far as jerks though. Bill Romanowski has to be the King of that list.

I’m just saying I enjoyed reading the article.
I don’t like the degree to which he takes his trash talking. It’s over the top.
I just recognize that’s his personality. It’s who he is. No big deal to me.
Sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s wrong - but I don’t expect him to change and nothing in that article is shocking based on what I already knew of him.
Doesn’t bother me until contract or holdout time rolls around - I think things could potentially get weird at that point where he upsets some coaches and fans. This article is nothing to me.
