[QUOTE=Drift Reality]Everyone is worried about the blitz. The thing is, professional quarterbacks have to learn how to exploit the blitz with their arms. Ramsey made the right read on at least three blitzes, once, checking down to a hitch pattern with Coles (who dropped it); and then checking down to a slant to Gardner (which was almost picked off because the DE dropped back into coverage).

Do you guys remember Bernie Kosar? He once said that he loved getting blitzed because it was an opportunity to beat the other team deep. Ramsey has the ability, and the receivers, to beat the blitz - it is just a matter of time.

Give Ramsey a friggin' chance to work with the first team for a week and to come into a game where he doesn't have to throw on every play and I have a good feeling about his chances.


I respectfully disagree. The success of Peyton Manning, Ben Rothlisberger and even Brett Favre is their ability to use their legs and arm and not just their arm to beat the blitz. Ramsey must learn quickly how to drop back and then step up into the pocket and throw. Right now he doesn't have the confidence to do this but he has the right coaching now. He also has to be aware of the defensive schemes that are discussed in practice. This is not the first time these QB's see the opponents schemes, so he has to make the neccessary adjustment and throw the ball away if the receiver is covered. I just cannot take watching a young QB getting sacked over and over when he should be able to run, run and run some more. By the way, Kurt Warner has been sacked 39 times this year so don't feel too bad Ramsey.
