Quotes from some NFL scouts and a personnel director cited in a Washington Times article. Perhaps this'll make it clearer to some who are clamoring for Ramsey to be the starter.
"Based on what I saw in the preseason, I thought Brunell was doing better, and I talked to other scouts and they were saying the same kinds of things," an NFC scout said. "But they didn't pull the cord on [Ramsey]. They wasted a lot of time in the preseason by not doing that."
Said the personnel director: "Sometimes, Ramsey looks like a first-round pick, no question. But he's the type of player where there's no gray area. He's either going good or he's falling off a cliff. They replaced him with a guy that doesn't turn the ball over.
"Brunell's going to manage the game for Joe. If they don't turn it over, they're pretty much going to win the game because they'll get to work with a short field with that defense. He can still throw and he looks more comfortable this year -- that's obvious. But the big thing is he doesn't panic under duress and throw the pick."
