Who starts at QB?

That's really not bad, Frerotte has had a 10 year career and made millions of dollars.. No-one is feeling too sorry for him.

In Ramsey I saw a guy who tended to start slow and gain confidence and momentum as the game progressed. I'd hoped that it was an indicator of how his career would go here in DC. The part about not feeling sorry for him is true enough, most of these guys make more per year than I have so far in my life.

Look, I was one of the biggest Ramsey fans, especially after the beating he took w/ Spurrier. I was pissed when they signed Brunell. And even though he has a pretty bad 2004, really thought he gave us a better chance to win in 2005. I was one of the people calling for Brunells head in 2004. But he came out in 2005, played his ass off, frankly should have been concidered for comeback player of the year, or even pro-bowl(in place of Vick). If healthy, Brunell is very effective, as he proved. I hope Ramsey makes the pro-bowl every year, its just going to have to be with someone else. I do predict, if he is given a fair shot to play, he will be a successful NFL QB. Take the one year he was actually given the job (2003) his stats would have aproximately been 3200 yards 20TDs and 16 picks. Thats not great, but pretty good for a 2nd year QB, plus with all the beatings he took. Fact, we would not have won 10 games or 11 games with Ramsey. Everyone may be pissed by him throwing balls away, well that may have saved a lot of games. Our D is too damn good to do things like that. Why risk it when 8 out 10 times, they are going to give us the ball right back.
