Well, I am not a Ramsey fan. And it's NOT just because of the little play in THIS regular season. It is his MANY and very OBVIOUS flaws. At this point, he looks like a bust.
BUT... With Ramsey staying on the roster (and in Gibbs' plans) and Brunell added, it would have been insane to pick Rothlisberger in the first round. As others pointed out, he had ZERO chance of playing this year under Gibbs, and Gibbs still had not given up on Ramsey. Why add an unknown (which he was until he played in the NFL) when you already have a starter PLUS a QB that is clearly a major project to develop. It is not wise to have to develpmental project QB's at the same time (and that IS what BR was at that time)
Lastly, why are you so quick to throw away Taylor!!????? That makes no sense to me. This guy has amazing and very rare talents for his position. He will be a huge implact player over many seasons.
