Ramsey's game..

Hail to the Redskins · 11-15-2004, 12:34 PM

We have a complete tradeoff at QB...

With Brunell, you get a game manager. A guy who won't stretch the field, knows when to throw the ball away (which he is VERY good at... incompletions are his forte), and won't turn it over.

With Ramsey you get a kid who comes from a pass-first college program, tutored by the 'Ol Ball-Coach (and please, no one think that Ramsey actually likes Gibbs' system better than Spurrier's... he really likesd Stevie) who will throw downfield even in triple coverage. He will keep safeties off the line to help your RB, but also throw them a couple throughout the game...

So whats better... Lots of yards AND turnovers or few yards and fewer turnovers? What's more important to you guys? Yards or Turnovers? I think that'd be a good poll... just to do something that isn't just Brunell vs. Ramsey....

Personally, I dream of the QB Genetic Chamber where we can keep Ramsey's Arm and Accuracy, Brunell's Head and Legs (even when he's 57 he'll be more mobile and aware of the pocket collapsing than Ramsey).. THEN we'd have ourselves a QB!!

Ramsey started slowly, but came on later and almost pulled it out. Remember that it has been close to a full year since he's seen full-speed regular season game speed.
Yeah, he brings a different set of problems, but has much more upside. Brunell was supposed to be the smart, accurate, semi-mobil veteran, but it really looks like he has lost it. Now we get the young gun that is less mobile and might make a few more mistakes, but I believe he will do enough good things to offset them.

I'm VERY curious to see how Ramsey does:
1) After a full week of practice with the starters.
2) In a more of a max-protect, play-action type scheme that will give him more time.
3) Starting the game and not being put in to try to come back from a 10+ point deficit.
4) With a pro bowl running back behind him.

These are all things that he has never had, so it will be interested to see. I'm excited about it.

One more thing....why couldn't Gibbs have had that "gut feeling" to go with Ramsey during the week instead if during the game...
