Re: Patrick Ramsey better be Ready!!!!!
2800 yards, 19 TDs, 17 INTs, 59% completion, 80 QB Rating.
I think he's a sturdy kid and can make it all 16 games, but the fact of the matter is hardly any QBs in the league play in every single game. I'll figure he plays 14 games and puts up 2800 yards, which works out to 200 per game. Gibbs' offense is still conservative, but 200 a game will be a slight step up from Ramsey's pace last year, which is reflective of the speedy receivers and going deep a bit more often.
On the TDs, I see him stepping it up a bit to 19 TDs in 14 games. I think he found a rapport with Cooley in the red zone at the end of last year which will continue, and I think Santana Moss will add some homerun capability that Coles didn't provide with his bum toe.
On the completion percentage, last year he was at 62%. I think if they're going to go deep a bit more, the completion % drops a bit to 59%.
Interceptions, last year he had 11 INTs. But remember, 3 of those were in that game where he came in and tried to dig the Redskins out of a hole when Brunell got hurt. I think it was against the Giants? In his 7 starts he had 8 INTs. So this season I say that trend continues, 17 INTs in 14 games.
Last season his QB rating was 74, with that horrible Giants game dragging it down. In his starts, it was better, I think around 80 or so. I'll go with that 80 figure, but if he can hit on some homerun passes to Moss & Patten, and still manage to keep the INTs down, I could see him getting up to a 90 rating.
I don't see him making the pro bowl, but if he can play like I describe above, and Portis has a good year, I think that's good enough to go to the playoffs.
