there is a fine line between a QB having courage and staying in the pocket to make the tough throw and a guy that holds on to the ball too long.

ramseys throwing motion and release speed is fine. since it looks fine to me and since i havent heard any so called experts complain about it, it probably is fine.

brunell is not going to make excuses. hey, ultimately, they stunk(ramsey, brunell, coles, gardner and portis). no reason to make excuses.

the fans DO expect a probowl caliber QB, even if the guy is a bum, we expect him to play like brett favre. thats what we thought we got with brunell. since joe gibbs last left, the fans have always called for a new QB to start rather than the current starter.

at some point you have to give a guy the opporunity to grow into the system. ramsey is a rookie, this is his first year in a pro style offence. brunell is almost guaranteed to be gone in 2 years. so if we cant win a superbowl now with brunell, we have to go with the young guy.

if we had a young(2nd or 3rd year) brett favre, you would still be calling for hasselbeck. it may not be fun for fans, but at somepoint we are going to have to go through Qb growing pains.

now to hasselbeck. i honestly like the guy. i definately sparked the skins last year. he seems like he's undercontrol in the game. but all this talk about TH is annoying. He will never be a great QB. this stuff reminds me of the gus frerotte talk all over again. but atleast gus had a good arm. TH has a noodle for an arm.

the sacks: TH did get sacked less last year. mostly because of the scaled down playbook. spurrier was actually leaving the FB and RB in the backfield to block. also, he brought in bugel to help with the line.
