I don't really think he is at "huge risk" by playing, but I do agree with the rest of it. I also would not be surprised if he is down and out by halftime. But with his injury history in recent years, I felt that way before the season even started.

but no matter how you do the math, that does not come out in Ramsey's favor, and it does not come out anywhere close to even.

unless you count points off turnovers then brunell has a double digit advantage

With Brunell's experience offsetting his the lack of practice time this week, combined with the fact that Ramsey did get a good amount of time with the starters should give us a pretty good one-two-punch if needed.

is it wrong that i was a bit bummed when i heard brunell was going to be healthy enough to play?

hopefully he hits it deep and on target, but i seriously think he may be out by the half again... dallas is going to blitz all day, knowing that brunell is still gimpy and prefers short routes...

Not at all, Guy. It's sure not going to hurt a thing. And if I felt that Ramsey was our best shot, I would probably have those same emotions. But I do agree with SkinsRock - if Ramsey is our 2nd string QB, I'm sure glad he got a lot of practice time with the first string on a week when Brunell is coming back quickly from injury.
