All the great ones take their lumps early in their careers, well except for Roethlisberger but he's the exception.
Unless he just absolutely stinks up the joint for these last 7 games, I'm willing to give him a good part of next season too along with these 7 games to take his lumps.
There's only one way we're going to find out if Ramsey can get it done. And that's to give him an honest shot. He hasn't had that yet, not under Spurrier and definitely not yet with Gibbs. Even Gibbs admits he's thrown him into some really tough situations this season.

As Tre Johnson said on the Redskins show, "Ramsey is paid to come in and give his team a lift when the other QB isn't. It's not a unique phenomenon, to have a QB come in from behind and win a game. I'm not that understanding of turnovers for someone who is not a rookie in the first place. Secondly, a good QB would approach this mid-season change as a way to make Gibbs a believer in him. Ramsey's preparation in practice was questioned by Bugel and I see why. When a reporter asked Ramsey after the game if he thought he would get a chance to play after the consistenly bad performances of Brunell? He actually said, No. I didn't really think I would play. How in the hell did he not think he would get a chance to play? If he thought like that, his preparation in practice was not all that great.
