The one thing that all the rabid Ramsey fanatics keeping bringing up is "last year Ramsey played better and won more games than Brunell."
Well the truth is the Redskins were 3-6 when Ramsey took over as starting QB, and the Redskins playoff hopes were pretty much all gone. There was no immediate pressure on Ramsey to win a couple of games and get us in the playoffs. The playoff pressure was gone.
Ramsey has proven time and again that when the pressure is on he falls apart. In the 2004 preseason when the competition for QB was open and the pressure was on, Ramsey played his worst ever as a Skin.
In 2005 preseason, Ramsey was named the starter and the pressure was on again for Ramsey to take us to the playoffs, but yet again Ramsey played his worst football as a Skin.
I have said this several times on TWP, Ramsey besides his slow foot work, inability to elude the rush, bad decisions with the ball, holds on to the ball to long, gets sacked too much and turnovering the ball too much, his biggest weakness is he does not step up in the clutch. He cannot handle the pressure.
In his four years as a Redskin he has shown flashes... that is all.
I never understood some of the posts of years pasts that have compared the great Ramsey to Brett Farve etc. etc.
Now those folks are the ones that are upset about Ramsey getting benched.
The reality that ramsey is not very good right now and was benched because of it hurts some folks. That is understandable.
