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.

I think you make some good points Matty.......... the Steelers have surrounded Big Ben with good line and crew. Meanwhile Burnell is playing with a mediocre line at best and Portis hasn't helped in protection either.
You can put Joe Montana or Sammy Baugh back there and it won't make a difference if you don't get time for the play to set up. In some cases the talent just isn't there yet. If you have guys blitzing in Burnell's face there is just not time for a play to develop. Having said that there are times when Burnell's passing is painful to watch (although I've got to see a limited number of games), and then there is the play calling, no imagination..........Parcells was short handed yet he put in some innovative yet basic plays to fool the defense, so the play calling rests at the feet of not only of Joe Gibbs but also offensive coordinator Don Breaux. Having said that our Defense has been extrodinary and as bad as our offense sucked, the Redskins were in each and every name, and we should've/could've won all the games they lost if a few of the penalties on offense had been eliminated. Wins require our offense not to make ANY mistakes.......This team is still a work in progress and we need another draft.
