Sorry, but this is hilarious. Or ridiculous. Or just plain entertaining. 

You have to wonder if the Jag's have any control of his mouth:

Ramsey was suspended this week for violating team rules and conduct unbecoming of a Jaguars football player. Before that ban, the talkative corner ran down what he thinks of every NFL QB with Skipper.

Let's take a gander at some of Ramsey's thoughts on many of the NFL QBs:

Aaron Rodgers: Does not suck.

Tom Brady: Does not suck.

Marcus Mariota: Great for the Titans.

Tyrod Taylor: "Actually a better quarterback than he gets credit for, because he does not make mistakes."

Jimmy Garoppolo: Not sure if he's sold on the hype yet.

Deshaun Watson: "He'll be the league MVP in a couple years."

Carson Wentz: Ramsey says Wentz and Watson will be battling for MVP trophy for the next five to 10 years.

Jared Goff: "average to above average... For what his team ask him to do, yeah, he's good."

Dak Prescott: Good. Alright. OK. But Cowboys run through Ezekiel Elliott.

Kirk Cousins: "Winner" "Competitor." "Coming off the play action, he's the best quarterback in the league."

Derek Carr: Good.

Eli Manning: "It's not really Eli. I think it's Odell [Beckham, Jr.]. I won't say Eli's good, I'll say Odell's good. And their connection is good."

Russell Wilson: Good. Good leader too.

Ben Roethlisberger: "Decent." "It's not Big Ben, it's [Antonio Brown]. Big Ben slings the ball a lot of the time. He just slings it, and his receivers go get it... I played him twice last year, and he really disappointed me."

Drew Brees: Ramsey is a fan.

Andrew Luck: "I don't really think he's that good."

Ryan Tannehill: Don't know much about him.

Matthew Stafford: "He do what he gotta do."

Philip Rivers: "Pretty good."

Matt Ryan: "Overrated."

Joe Flacco: "Sucks. I played him two years in a row. He sucks."

Lamar Jackson: going to be good.

Baker Mayfield: "...if they want that type of quarterback-confident, get out the pocket, throw on the run, big plays, charisma-then yeah, I understand Baker going number one."

Ramsey's commentary on the Mayfield pick lead into a scorching hot take on Bills rookie QB Josh Allen, whom the CB has attacked several times publicly since the draft.

Hilariously honest assessment. People want to rip on opinions when they're from "anonymous sources", but still don't like the truth when Ramsey puts his name on it. This did make me laugh though:

Kirk Cousins: "Winner" "Competitor." "Coming off the play action, he's the best quarterback in the league."

I will take his word for it and his passer rating on PA is very good, but to think of Kirk Cousins as the best in the league at anything made me laugh.

Viking fans will love it. I would argue his record against the winning teams would be evidence of his mediocrity.

His Washington teams have sucked, but then again Aaron Rodgers teams have sucked and he still lifts them to the NFCC with some regularity. Cousins can't carry a team, at best he's a Trent Dilfer, so MIN's defense and running game will need to be what carries them to another disappointing playoff appearance. If Pat Shurmur was still there I would say Cousins will perform in the top 10 of QBs this year, but he's not and DeFilippo their OC is a complete unknown. The positive of their OC though is that he was Mike Pettine's OC in CLE, so there's some familiarity there from our new DC. 

Dilfer is all Cousins needs to be.  MIN should end up in the NFCC again but on top of D and running game, their D needs to stay healthy.  They had bizarrely consistent and deep health last year and they couldn't even weather losing one top guy (Rhodes) without collapsing vs. PHI.

Even if this were true, the problem is that KC ain't Dilfer. He's Matt Ryan, he's Tony Romo, he's the bad Brent. Guaranteed to make a killer mistake more often than not, rather than the safe or smart play. 

It's funny on twitter etc.  you don't get that whole list all you seem to get is the Allen is trash and Flacco is over rated etc.

I have to agree with most of his list but highly disagree about Big Ben and I think Flacco is better than most people seem to think he is.

I've read and heard this even from Vikings fans, they have a bunch of solid guys on defense but no real game breaker type of player.  I don't know how much Richardson adds to the equation or Dalvin Cook coming back off an ACL, but the good thing is, like IlCuke stated, Cousins won't be Dilfer, he'll be Cousins.

Dilfer, or not, it's time to put a hurt on KC ala the Barr move on Rodgers. We'll see how legit that season ending hit would be to vikings fans who were on board with Barr vs Rodgers.

I don't want him hurt. For one, I've seen him in person at non-football events and he's a good guy.

Two, I want him to play healthy in all 16 games and still have the Packers win the Division and beat them twice.

I think he needs to be more than Dilfer for them to win a SB. As was demonstrated in the NFCC, their defense isn't an all-time great defense...it's not the '02 Bucs or the '13 Seahawks. They gave up an average of 31 points in 2 games in the playoffs and there hasn't been a SB winner in the last 10 years (maybe further) that has averaged giving up  >22 points in the playoffs. It's a good defense for sure, maybe the best in the league, but Cousins needs to be a franchise QB.

Well you know, MIN is staaaaacked.  So they have absolutely no excuse not to win the SB and certainly no excuse to lose to GB.

Yep and all other teams can only dream about being as good as they are.

All the other teams should just forfeit their games against them to save the beatdown they will get.  But we all know that this would be the only way they would win a title.

Well, they are solid all up and down the roster with their starters. They aren't staaaacked, but it is overall quality and that makes them a favorite. Just like almost every team today, it only goes one player deep and last year Minny had no real debilitating injuries, especially on D. (You could argue for Cook on O, but he was a rookie so who knows?) But this year in the division, Rodgers will be back, Chicago will be better, Detroit... well, it's still Detroit and they have a lot to fix.

Based on last year's records, their out-of-division games are tougher than last year. This year they face tough games v Eagles, Pats, Saints, Rams.  Others are so-so: 49ers, Phins (although these two are improving), Bills, Hawks. And the rest: Cards, Jets. Last year their out-of-division teams were: Titans, Panthers, Giants, Texans (no Watt, no Watson), Eagles, Skins (MN lost), Cards, Boys, Jags (good, but young), Colts.  Not exactly a killer's row of teams. 

They were lucky on the injury front last year, played mostly mediocre teams, so I don't see them matching last year's record
