I was one of Ramsey's biggest fans last year, but Brunell just looks so much better this preseason. Did he even throw one bad pass tonight? I hate that it looks like we have another quarterback controversy, at least I think there is one, but I'd be okay with Brunell starting the season instead of Ramsey...and I hated him last year. I think there was more than a few of us who wanted the skins just to cut him this year, but he looks great now. I'm glad we have him; at least we know we have a good backup if one goes down.
As for Ramsey's performance, he looked okay. I thought his worst pass was not the interception,but the play when he had the controlled rollout to the right and threw long - practically out of bounds. That throw sucked, if he would have led thw wideout over the correct shoulder that would have been a touchdown. I do like that play though and I'd like to see more of it.

I'm a Ramsey supporter....but if he slips or get's injured this year it will be tough to get his job back from Brunell.

Brunell played well, but Ramsey should definately still be the starter. Brunells receivers got a lot more open than ramseys and brunell was playing against backups, but he still had the starting o-line

Only problem is, Brunell has seen action mainly against opposing backups. Ramsey's faced starters.
The way I see it, Brunell had his starting chance last year, now we need to see Ramsey start and see what he's made of once and for all.

I think ramsey is gonna do great. I've thought that all along. His INT was circumstancial (he did get hit). He read the field good and even showed a little mobility. Against the D he was playing, I was impressed. Brunell is doing great against second stringers, but I'm not sold on him as a starter. I am alot more comfortable with him in the backup role though.

Regardless, I think we should feel good about the QB situation overall.
Who knows, maybe Brunell will have some trade value later this year.

Brunnell looked very good--I agree, not the same guy. Wonder how long his health would last if he starts, though... Ramsey should start, and Brunnell will make a great backup. And if Ramsey really struggles, then Brunnell will get his shot.
As for the INT, Ramsey has got to eat that ball.

Nice post. Definitely agree with everything you're saying

Bottom line is both our guys moved the ball well against a very good defense. One mistake should be expected. At least I know I expected one (even though I hoped I was wrong). What was nice is that Ramsey came back and led the team. He didn't force things.
Also, we have to be happy with our o-line and running game.
