First - That's a damn good stat no matter how you cut it. Ramsey in 3 years never approached those ratios. Would he have in last year's offense? We'll never know but my bet is no. I loved the guy and was pulling for him hard. But the light just never seemed to go on and stay on. For every beautiful throw and good decision there was always one or two that just made you say - "WTF were you thinking??"
Second - I don't disagree that Brunnell had his issues and that it appeared he was pretty easily defensed later in the year. How much of that was Mark, how much was it that his first deep option was constantly doubled and tripled and his second deep option consisted of Taylor "What do you want me to do, Fight to get open??" Jacobs and Jimmy "Arena League, Here I come!" Farris?
Ramsey's a good kid and truthfully I would love to have him as our back-up this year. But for all concerned that is just not likely. I wish him well, we should get what we can and send him someplace where he has a chance to start. Personally, I would love to see him go to and succeed in Oakland.
