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.

Suppose he had spent the last three years at USC. Do you think people would still be questioning his pocket presence?

Suppose he had spent the last two years at San Diego, with decent protection and LT and Antonio to throw to...do you think people would still be questioning his confidence?

Suppose he had spent four years throwing to a healthy Santana Moss...do you think his stats would have been so average?

Do you think Tom Brady would still be alive if he had played for Spurrier?

Honestly, I have no idea what would have happened if he was at USC or had LT and Antonio or a healthy Santana Moss or if Brady would still be alive if he played for Spurrier. I live in the actual world and Ramsey didn't step up and dominate when he played.

Some young qb have 'it' (Roethlisberger, Palmer, Simms, Brady) some respond to challenges (Brees), some are late bloomers (Green, Warner) and some seem to be missing something. I've been watching football for 30+ years and I don't claim to know everything but I have no reason to beleive that Ramsey will be successful (consistently leading his team to the postseason) as an NFL QB based on what I have seen. Could I be wrong? Certainly, but it's not going to happen here.
