Leftwich or Ramsey?

Ramsey is one tough hombre and I like him a lot. But please don't try to put him head and shoulders abouve Leftwich on that scale. In college, Leftwich played THREE games on a broken bone in his leg and had to be carried by his offensive linemen into the huddle after every play. On the toughness bus, Leftwich takes a back seat to no one - - including Patrick Ramsey.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd probably flip a coin. I think both will have very nice careers in the NFL.

I have been adimate about how good I think ramsey will be, I believe he is better than both lefty and brunnell, and I do believe at this point regardless of the money that ramsey will have a fair shot to start, I think gibb's thinking is he doesn't want the season to end with 1 good blow to our starter, ala the jet's 4 yrs. ago with testeverde, this should also mean regardless of what comes out of the ramsey camp there's no way he will be dealt, this situation is going to work itself out it's just a matter of time, but I defiently believe that RAMSEY IS THE MAN!

I didn't say PR is tougher, I think he's a better quarterback. Leftwich playing on that broken bone was amazing but I think that his battered legs are going to cost him a lot of starts in the future if he takes too much punishment. Ramsey throws a better ball plus he hasn't had the major injuries despite the beat down of last year. I think the edge goes to Ramsey. All that said, don't take this to mean that I think Leftwich isn't a great young qb for the Jags, I just like our guy better...
