I said earlier that this mock draft may not be realistic, but for all those who continue to insist that Ramsey is a franchise QB, I ask why?

The things mentioned are:
-that he is a leader---what are you judging this by, have you talked to players personally?
-someone said he has good mobility---why? because he had ONE DECENT RUN in the 1st game, he has no movement in the pocket at all
-he's accurate---I know he had little protection, but in a Spurrier offense that emphasizes short, quick passes, he only had a 53% completion rate
-that he doesn't cost a lot---should this be a reason to keep someone on the roster?

Ramsey may be on the Skins for a long time coming, but I just don't think he is a QB that is going to take us to the promise land, IMO...

By the way, I think completion percentage says a lot of a QB, more than pure arm strength (ala Joe Montana, Steve Young). Here's a look at some QB's in the league and their completion percentage in their first couple of years:

Drew Brees - 61% and 58%
Q. Carter - 57% and 58%
J. Harrington - 50% and 56%
J. McCown - 57%
B. Leftwich - 57%
