The ideal situation for him is one like Pittsburgh has around Rothlisberger. A solid and consistent running game and guys who have been in the system, know it inside and out and can properly support him.
Pitt is doing a great job at protecting Ben and running the ball which has taken a ton of pressure off him.
If Ramsey steps into our current situation alot of the pressure is going to be squarely on him, and that's really not fair.

You know Matty, you can also say what came first the chicken or the egg? Is the offensive line pourous because the defenses are keying on Portis because they have absolutly no respect for Brunell? We have heard statement's that would lead us to believe that is the case both from Portis as well as oppossing defender's, at this point in the season I think Brunell has to go, we can talk all day about how Ramsey might not be ready, but the fact is Brunell isn't either, and the fact is if that article is correct Gibb's has no intention of coaching Ramsey up to speed if he's not getting rep's in practice, I say Ramsey would be a much better QB by now as far as mistakes are concerned if he had been playing all along, unlike Brunell who hasen't budged one inch as far as progressing as a QB, so long as Brunell is starting we are only retarding the growth of Ramsey as well as the advacement of the skin's as a whole.
