Ramsey, because he showed last year that he can manage the offense well. He has made obvious strides with touch passes down the field. He isn't that accurate with it yet, but last year he just gunned everything. The few deep passes he threw would be lasers that sailed over the WRs head. Now he seems to be putting air under it, dropping the pass down over the CB's head and into the receiver's hands. That's what we need in order to seriously threaten the deep part of the field and keep 8 men out of the box. His accuracy isn't there yet, but I think it will get better with time. Ramsey is definitely not perfect, I think he's going to throw a fair amount of interceptions unless Gibbs starts calling the game more conservatively. But he knows how to manage the game and make some plays.

If it were Brunell starting though, I wouldn't be upset at all. I don't see much of a dropoff, if any, between the two of them. I think Brunell's miserable performance last year was mainly due to horrendous offensive line play and a lack of separation from the WRs. I think his elbow may have been bothering him too. His arm looks healthy, and the O-Line would give him the time he needs to play well. Brunell has always been able to throw a nice touch-pass deep downfield. Plus the players seem to respond to him.

I feel relatively fine with either one of them. But I'll take Ramsey because of how he did at the end of last year. We just have to be ready to deal with some INTs. I have a feeling he's going to be frustrating for us.
