Thoughts on Ramsey and Brunell...

If MB was playing behind the hogs right now, he'd probably be considered greater than Joe Montana.

That's a legitimate question. But I do feel that if Brunell starts next year, it will delay the development of a future starter, Campbell or whomever. Brunell's done an admirably adequate job as a stopgap, but I think that's all he is - a stopgap.

I don't know if I would say it is delaying the development of the younger QBs. As far as on the field experience, I can see your point. However, a major part of their development is the mental aspects of the game. They have the advantage of watching a veteran qb run the offense. I think that goes a long way in qb development as well.
