I am wondering if this hamstring injury is actually keeping him from being able to get his feet set properly when throwing. We all know how Ramsey was affected by the foot injury last year, so maybe Brunell's "lack of arm strength" is more from an inability to properly plant his feet and wing it. Which leg is it? I don't really know a lot about these things so it is just a guess, and I'd appreciate any input from anyone more knowledgeable in these areas.

Skinsrock- I would say that a hamstring injury is definitely going to hurt a QB when throwing. Especially when it is the long ball. Which leg it is doesn't really matter, since both legs help the QB get into the position to be able to plant and then throw. However, the long ball will definitely be affected by his back leg and the front leg is going to affect his accuracy.
The back leg gives the drive needed to throw the ball long. The front leg allows followthrough which is where your accuracy comes from. |

I think you could be right SkinsRock. But then what I want to know is how bad does he think Ramsey is if he's letting Brunell keep on playing instead of getting healthy. Or is Ramsey also hurt?
