Ramsey/Brunell: a closer look

[MTK]

Let's stop comparing Ramsey to the likes of Favre, Manning, Vick and now Rothlisberger.

The preseason meant nothing for Rothlisberger. He wasn't trying to lock down a starting job. Why? There are 15 reason why, those are the # of wins he recorded as a rookie last year. He's proved himself in the eyes of the Steelers.

If anyone really believes the preseason wasn't important for Ramsey you're fooling yourself.

It was his formal audition for the job. All he had to do to avoid all this was play well and show he was the right guy for the job. He didn't do it, simple as that.

yaeh, he auditioned by not running the actual offense and not having the best players (cooley/portis) being used... that's definately makes it fair to pull him after 19 minutes.
