I think part of the reason Gibbs is holding Ramsey back is because he doesn't want to throw him to the wolves, he doesn't want him to have to deal with a sometimes porous offensive line and a unit as a whole that is still trying to get comfortable in this system.

The ideal situation for him is one like Pittsburgh has around Rothlisberger. A solid and consistent running game and guys who have been in the system, know it inside and out and can properly support him.

Pitt is doing a great job at protecting Ben and running the ball which has taken a ton of pressure off him.

If Ramsey steps into our current situation alot of the pressure is going to be squarely on him, and that's really not fair.
