Jim Kelly's first season as a starter 4-12
Joe Montana's first season as a starter 2-14!!!
Peyton Mannings 3-13

Now, is Patrick Ramsey any of these guys? No. Will be be as good as any of these guys, proboly not. Does he make stupid decisions somtimes yes. Does he make good decisions too, yes. I'm just saying, cause we had one crappy season and one crappy game, lets not throw this kid out the door.

Jim Kelly NEVER had as slow a release as Ramsey.
Joe Montana NEVER had as slow a release as Ramsey.
Peyton Manning NEVER had as slow a release as Ramsey.
Jim Kelly NEVER was as slow as Ramsey in decision-making.
Joe Montana NEVER was as slow as Ramsey in decision-making.
Peyton Manning NEVER was as slow as Ramsey in decision-making.

Jim Kelly, Joe Montana, and Peyton Manning were able to correct their faults - Ramsey has shown an inability in that area. And THAT is what has become painfully obvious, more than 25 months after he joined the team and began his tutelage.

Ramsey will not turn into Joe Montana, no matter what hopes some of us may have had.
