all i know is that Ramsey needs to urgently better his vision cone and precision passing.
He should just turn it off, maybe that's what he's struggling with. LOL

i'm doing fine with it, it's Patrick P. Ramsey himself i'm worried about!

Someone has been playing some Madden 06. Anyway to get back to the original question of this thread, my prediction of Ramsey's performance tomorrow night is that he plays the full 1st quarter and if he leads the team to some points, he makes an exit before the 2nd quarter begins. Otherwise he plays a full half and gives Gibbs more grey hair. I don't care about stats other than points and turnovers. They are all that really matter anyway

How Ramsey will do is entirely dependent upon the O-Line. The more he is able to stay upright, the more often he will feel comfortable standing still in the pocket. Last season, 22 out of his 23 sacks came right up the middle. This year the team has brought in Rabach to play center and have been working extensively with Dockery to improve his technique. And if I recall, Randy Thomas was injured for part of last season. There is the key to Ramsey's future as QB in Washington. If those three guys hold their assignments, I think Ramsey has a chance to show what he can do--and I think he can give us the long ball. If those three fail, no QB will last for long in Washington until they get the area between the tackles shored up. Friday, with no sacks, I think Ramsey gets two drives into the end zone and at least one more close.

he'll play about a half this time right? or is that the 3rd game? well if he does play for a half I am expecting a little bit more of the playbook at their disposal and hoppefully Ramsey with less patting of the ball resulting in 100-175 yards and 2-3 scoring drives. If he plays for only a quarter, 75-115 yards and one or 2 scoring drives.

it's true, Ramsey must be the most shell shocked QB in the league. he's got years of bad habits to break, most of which aren't his fault.

I predict Ramsey will have at least one TD drive with either Nemo or Betts punching it in for the score. Patrick will get this drive after a quarter of play. Brunell will lead two scoring drives, a TD drive and a field goal drive. Sean Taylor will make a huge play that ultimately decides the game. Campbell will continue to play well, but will make two rookie mistakes.

Well it almost seems unanimous (spelling?) most of us, including me, expect at least a TD drive from Ramsey, keyword is expect, not "want", because for the most part we all faith in his abilities ... and want him to succeed.
BUT
if he has the same performance as last week, no worse, but no better, and by that I mean statistically and visually with his decision making, pocket presence, and composure - Should we start to worry ? Or does he get a mulligan???
I'm on the fence with that ...

I think that we will see a lot of the same thing as last week. Gibbs will just call some standard plays and ask the offense to execute them. In a real game he looks for mismatches and trys to exploit them. It seems that Ramsey is better in situation 2. Maybe it's confidence, but I think that we will see Ramsey really grow into the role as each game passes.
Prediction:
Ramsey has at least 2 good drives that result in points scored (TD or FG).

I'm expecting Ramsey, to again, play for most of the first half. That is, unless he looks like Joe Montana in the first quarter. I think Gibbs will start Ramsey in the regular season no matter what, but I'm sure Gibbs wants to see as much as Ramsey in the preseason as possible.
I really hope Ramsey burns 'em up tomorrow night...I want to see Campbell play some more.
