System's have a lot to do with QB success, Griese has looked pretty good latly, considering he's replacing big time Brad Johnson, who IMO you can file right along side Trent Dilfer, Ben R is also stepping into an established system, all the player's know what is expected which will make it much easier on a new player, where as Ramsey is on the sidelines waiting to try and play in a new system, where everyone seem's to be still learning, Ramsey has great pocket awareness he just need's time to get comfortable with the system so he can stop thinking and start playing, then he will get rid of the ball and cut down on the sack's, but last year he barely had time to turn and set let alone throw, he was also almost automatic when he had breathing room to look over the defense and make a decision, and buy the way guess who has the stronger arm? Ramsey, Ramsey intelligence wise is also 1 of the smartest player's in football, yes I do believe that will quailify him with the ability to learn, and progress.

Two of the best QB's in the league are going head to head this weekend in Foxboro. Both started their careers around the same time as Ramsey under similar circumstances. New coach, new system. You asked if there is another Ramsey that I have been watching this year. The answer is no. Tom Brady, Chad Pennington, David Carr and Joey Harrrington have surpassed Ramsey on many levels because they instantaneously gained the confidence of their coaches through leadership and execution.
Ramsey's first year as a starter was rocky and proved to me that he could take a hit but obviously could not anticipate the blitz. In response to the Eagles game, Ramsey brought the team back in the final minutes of the game only to overthrow Coles for the two point conversion which would have tied the game. Ramsey threw an INT against the Giants on that exact passing route to Coles this year. With regard to the Giants game last year, Ramsey was unsuccessful at moving the ball in the first half and made a valiant effort to come back, but we lost that one too. Your record says who you are. Not what you have the potential to become. Ramsey hasn't played long enough to even qualify a lengthy discussion on his behalf. Coach Gibbs will not call Ramsey out in the public but Brunell would not be in D.C if Gibbs were confident that Ramsey fit into his system. I believe that Gibbs is buying time with Brunell until another veteran QB is available and Ramsey will be traded within the next two years. How many QB's has this happened to in the past 12 seasons? The list is too long to mention.
