First, you must arrive at this conclusion: Patrick Ramsey is not our qb of the future. This is his fourth year, and he still makes the same mistakes he did as a rookie. He pats the ball, holds it too long, and then he forces throws into coverage instead of just taking what the defense gives him. I know many of you are saying, "Hold on, lets give the kid the season as the starter" and a part of me agrees with you. But another part of me suddenly came to the realization that Patrick Ramsey just isn't the answer. Now, if you can arrive at that conclusion, then what are the options? Brunnell does not have the arm of Ramsey, but he doesn't make as many stupid mistakes either. Brunnell to our team is slightly is similiar to what Trent Dilfer was to the champion Ravens' team. He got them within field goal range and he rarely made a mistake, throwing an occassional td.

So, does Brunnell give us a better chance to win immediately at the beginning of the season? I think he does. I think if we have any chance of beating Dallas in Week 2 it would be with Brunnell. So here's the theory, and please, be gentle when you attack me.....start Brunnell, and back him up with Ramsey until the season is lost, then plug in Campbell and work towards next year. I say this because in all honesty, I was always a big Patrick Ramsey fan, but now he's got an offensive line that is kicking ass, and receivers that are getting open, and he still makes the same mistakes that he did when he was a rookie. OK, take your shots, and remember its a theory.

Paulskinsfan you're stupid!!! JUST KIDDING MAN!

I understand you're theory, and I respect where you're coming from. But let me ask you this. Don't you think we should give Ramsey at least a couple of weeks into the season to get comfortable with his receivers?

My theory on Ramsey is that he lacks confidence, and he needs more time to gain that. I think by week 2 if Ramsey is still making the same mistakes....then we should start worrying. But for now, I think he's still trying to gain some confidence.
