[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I'd take Big Ben and Leftwich over Ramsey (and I'm Ramseyfan). That said, we need a little bit of something we haven't had lately here in Washington.....patience. Young quarterbacks need game time on a consistent basis (not 2 weeks here, 6 weeks there, and 5 weeks here). We've never really given Ramsey a shot.

He had probably the worst supporting offensive cast in his rookie season (with Davis injured and Gardner as his only wideout). He had piss poor protection in his second year, no running game (remember Canidate), and a poor defense (ranked something like #23). He was given just a few games to prove himself last year against some damn good teams (i.e. Eagles twice, Steelers, etc) and did well against the bad ones (i.e. 49ers). He's had three offensive coordinators, three different running backs, two different head coaches, two different offensive systems, and a poorly-coached offensive line (until last year when the O-line was without a real center or right tackle).

I know he didn't perform well last preseason, has been inconsistent, and is far from a Pro Bowler, but lets try being patient, have faith in Ramsey and give him the time and support he deserves. The guy has been beaten down like a rag doll and gets right back up every time. He CERTAINLY has the talent to be a very, very good starter and just needs the vision and football smarts (starts) to be great. He's a tough, gun-slinging, hard working, and smart (yes, he's very intelligent) quarterback.

I have a lot of faith in Ramsey. If he's offered protection, a decent running game (4.0 ypc), and a decent offensive system (one that goes down field AND offers some protection), he'll give us a winning record.
