QB controversey?

[SmootSmack]

I'm really happy for MB. The guy has had too good a career for last season's abysmal performance to be the last memories of him as a QB. He has shown this preseason that he can still play. He's checking off receivers, showing good mobility, and has nice zip and accuracy on his passes. I know it's against second stringers but he's also playing alongside a lot of second stringers. Instead of worrying that we have a QB controversy again, I think we should be happy that we have a backup in Brunell who still has it, or got it back at least.

However, as good as Brunell is playing, I still expect Ramsey to be the starter. On the positive side, he has a strong arm. He's hitting Patten and Moss on the deep routes, for the most part, and he's placing the ball where the receivers can catch the ball and run. And in his defense, he's not playing with arguably the two most important offensive players Portis and Cooley Also, I can't expect him to have the same improvising ability that Brunell has. Brunell has a decade more of NFL experience. However...the excuses are running out for Ramsey. His inconsistency is getting old fast. And I'm tired of hearing how "tough" he is, and how he still has doubts because of the lack of pass protection from Spurrier's offense. Enough already, he needs to step up and win the starting job, as opposed to not lose it. There's no sense of urgency it seems from him. My guess is he starts this season and does just well enough to hold onto the job, at least for the first half of the season. In 2006 he's gone and Brunell starts, unless Campbell is actually ready by then.
