If we're comparing, McNabb finished with a lower completion percentage than Ramsey 64% as opposed to 67% with one more TD and more yards, but 1.6257x the passes. McNabb threw a pick on his first pass.

McNabb played much better after the first throw, and completed some serious gains against the Pittsburgh Steeler starting defenses. Now, onto Delhomme being "sub-par" -- he guided his team to a Super Bowl two years ago, he has a career QB rating of 83, and a career completion percentage of 58.6%. Ramsey? No Super Bowl appearance, a QB rating of 74.4, and a full three points less of a completion percentage at 55.6. Now then, who is more 'sub-par' ?

Another fact that escapes you is that fact itself doesn't "destroy" notions. One can actually base a notion on ideas, and opinions, and sustain it through all facts.

If facts support the notion, then you'd be right. But in this case, the facts do not support your notion, thereby proving it wrong, or in my words, destroying it. If someone has the notion that this is really Ramsey's first year starting, evidence dictates that this is wrong, and the fact remains that he did start in 2003. So this fact
DOES destroy that notion. I didn't say you couldn't be subjective. You certainly can be, but it this case, you'd be just plain wrong!
