EVERY NFL QB has tried that kind of throw and made that mistake. Favre does it, Manning does it, just like crappy QB's and young QB's do. When trying to win a game and time is running out, they will take risks. Was it a bad decision? Yes. Would Brunell have done better? I doubt it. Ramsey evaded a sack and tried to make something happen, but just didn't get enough air under it (Coles was just a few yards upfield). Who knows, a year or two in the same system with most of the same players, and he makes that throw...
