The problem with Brunell is that he is not leading the receivers with his passes. He throws it too soft or too short, which allows the defenders to catch up and make the hit, so there are less yards after the catch. Yes there have been a few exceptions, and Ramsey would probably throw too hard and overthrow it at times, but he would at least have the ability to put the ball in front of the receiver where he has the best (and only) chance to catch it....as opposed to the "jump balls" Brunell has been throwing. Plus for shorter passes, his strong arm would get the ball there quicker, and give the receiver more of a chance to start moving before getting hit.
