If you fumble the ball on your own 40-1 yard line, that instantly puts your oponent in field goal range. And it sure makes it a whole lot easier for them to get a few yards and score a touchdown. It also pins your defense back and puts them in a tough situation. Plus they dont' get to rest and recover their energy because their always on the field. And also when your offense doesn't have the ball that means that YOU can't score. There for, if you just give the other team the ball with a foolish interception or fumble, even in THEIR territory, then you can't get any points.
It's simple and basic math here people! You cough up the ball, you can't score because you don't HAVE the ball! And it wears your defense down so they become tired and softer wich means easier to beat.
Sure Ramsey might stretch the field a little more, but he hasn't proven he can complete those passes since the Spurrier administration. Usually he over throws the reciever and a lot of times they land right at the Defensive back. That's not going to help you. That's just giving up downs and scoring opurtunities.
As for Brunell, he has displayed a much more powerful arm this year than he had last year. I don't know what it was, but he seems like a different QB this year. So basically if what you really care about is the long ball, I think you'll see a much improvement from what you saw last year. Even Joe Theisman was commenting on it when he was doing the Pre-season games. And Theisman is the biggest Ramsey fan that's ever played under Joe Gibbs. But Theisman knows QBs, so I'm sure that what I saw out of Brunells arm this season was the real deal and not some illusion like some of you guys seem to think.
illdefined, I also think that you seem to me more concerned with flash and flare with airing the ball out than you are about winning football games.

way to strawman, quoting out of context and replying to that misquote is pretty silly :P
he was saying maybe brunell doesn't turn it over, but he sure doesn't score either, and that's a bigger problem.
Please, read the entire post
and i think brunell's arm is an illusion, we'll see how many sub 100 yard gamess he has... not really an issue if we're winning, but last year our oline wasn't good enough to make big enough holes in stacked 10 man fronts, and without throwing over 100 yards, thats what we'll be getting again.
