I thought Ramsey played really well. Granted he wasn't asked to do much, but he didn't force anything or make too many mistakes. He also looked calm in the pocket. While he did overthrow on a couple plays, there were also a few passes where he put the ball in a great spot where only his guy could get it. I remember thinking to myself - "If Brunnell had made that pass it would have been picked for sure."
The playcalling didn't allow him to throw downfield often, but it's hard to blame Gibbs for keeping a short leash. It's his first start of the season and he's playing in Philly against the best team in the NFC. I mean what woulda happened if he came out firing and threw 4 picks? Not exactly a confidence booster for him or the team. Not to mention I'd probably be reading a bunch of "Brees or Kitna" threads right now.
I think as Ramsey becomes more comfortable and Gibbs gains confidence in him he'll start letting him throw deep more often. Right now PR has to focus on the basics and not making mistakes, which he did well this week. In fact this is the exact type of game I thought we'd be seeing from Brunell this year.
