The things mentioned are:

-someone said he has good mobility---why? because he had ONE DECENT RUN in the 1st game, he has no movement in the pocket at all
-he's accurate---I know he had little protection, but in a Spurrier offense that emphasizes short, quick passes, he only had a 53% completion rate
-that he doesn't cost a lot---should this be a reason to keep someone on the roster?
Ramsey may be on the Skins for a long time coming, but I just don't think he is a QB that is going to take us to the promise land, IMO...
By the way, I think completion percentage says a lot of a QB, more than pure arm strength (ala Joe Montana, Steve Young). Here's a look at some QB's in the league and their completion percentage in their first couple of years:
Drew Brees - 61% and 58%
Q. Carter - 57% and 58%
J. Harrington - 50% and 56%
J. McCown - 57%
B. Leftwich - 57%

In order to evaluate talent you can't look at number's, as you pointed out with the qb's you listed, harrington and leftwhich are the only guy's who may be something down the road, as for joe m. and steve y. they both played in the dink and dunk west coast offense, high percentage short passes, so you unfairly compare them to QB's who run a more conventional offense and hold the ball longer and throw down the field, by the way how smart was young when he was playing in tampa bay? the guy was horrible much worse than ramsey ever could be, and how long did it take him to really be effeciant at san fran? A while. ramsey was able to do what he did in spite of an absoultly attroches blocking scheme, and still had success, and all the while he had a bad foot, Ramsey isn't going to be a very good QB, he is going to be a great QB, an elite type QB when it's all said and done. As for having no mobility in the pocket? he may have more pocket awareness than any QB in the game, he manuever's in the pocket maybe better than any QB I have seen, what he doesn't have is straight ahead speed, but he's not slow either, I watched him pull away from jet LB sam cowart last season so he has the speed to out run an OLB, he just doesn't have after burner's that's all. I would also like to see a tougher QB in the league, after what I saw ramsey absorb last year I know 1 thing, this kid is a rock, and with all that punishment not once did I see him with happy feet or throw off his back foot he stood in there because his desire to win was greater than his desire not to be hurt, as for smart's? I would like to know who is more intellegent than Ramsey at the QB position?
