- Ramsy has an extremely slow release - did you notice the difference in sacks when Hasselbeck was the QB?
- Ramsey "thinks" too slowly - again, leading to many sacks.

Ramsey does have a slow release, but Spurrier changed his system when Hasselbeck was in. He made most of the plays 3 step drops, which I think with Ramsey would have worked VERY well. The people bringing constant Blitz packages would get trounced by a bunch of short/intermediate passes which in turn would have given him more time. The reason Hasselbeck didn't get as dirty was a change in the game plan, not a change in QB.
Ramsey is a very smart kid. He is young, and you need to be in a position to read a defense to learn it. He'll be ok. I bet he can recognize a blitz package now. He's an extremely intelligent guy, although that doesn't translate to football, it shows that he has the ability to pick things up.
As far as a fair competition. No shot at one. Gibbs is already set on Brunell, I'm sure of it. I think that this is Ramsey's team to lose, not Ramsey's team to win. I think Brunell should play exceptionally in order to steal the starting job. Ramsey is a real Redskin, Brunell is just a cash chaser. Maybe he'll get injured early.
