My 2 cents. From my observations:

1.Patrick Ramsey has shown he can also make mistakes. He's thrown two bad picks that could have gone the other way. He's got a gun, he can make big plays, but he's not very mobile. Whether the offensive line is playing great or not, he'll still make mistakes. He doesn't seem very comfortable in the offense yet.
2.Rob Johson, sack johson, glassjaw johnson...whatever you want to call him. Compared now to tampa and buffalo, he's a better player. He's still learning this offese. A veteran who doesn't make many mistakes throwing the ball, but will make plays on his feet and can escape the rush. He doesn't hold on to the ball too long like he used to, therefore he might seem too impatient in the pocket. Like ramsey, he also has gun of an arm and can make the big play. He still makes mistakes(last night holding the ball with one hand to have it stripped was stupid), but his pocket awareness has improved a bit.
3. Danny Wuerfell. Played a fine game last night, but he holds on to the ball too long. He doesn't have an arm and not very mobile either. The plus is that he knows this offense very well and won't make many mistakes throwing the ball. I recommend spurrier hires him as an assitant coach at least.

Final thoughts:
Stick with Ramsey since he's the future, but don't be surprised if he falters and spurrier ends up playing musical qbs. That's what he's famous for.

We all know and understand that Ramsey will have his ups and downs. He's basically still a rookie with minimal starts. Yes, he will make mistakes but he'll also make some great plays as well (IE - TD to Coles against Ravens). I'm willing to live with it because I believe they'll be more good than bad.

Ramsey scares me... He has not looked good during the preseason

Ram is ok, he will grow and flourish. I disagree RB, i think he looked fine. When the starters were in for an EXTENDED period of time, and had time to click, Ram played well.

I think Ramsey needs to stay in for reasons beyond this year. If he is ineed going to be a star (which I think most agree on) then why allow SS to mold him and then cut him loose? Let him stay in and learn... make mistakes... and develop into a star in time for us to actually reap the benefits of hard work.

Im just not going to worry about it. Ramsey is confident and so is Spurrier, no need for us to worry.

I really hope SS doesn't get trigger happy and pull Ramsey too quick, I know he says he won't but.....

I have not been real excited by Ram this offseason either but he is going to need time. He will struggle this year, he is not going to be a pro bowler this year, I just hope he is good enough to make sure, JOhnson and Woeful never see the field, unless it is mop up time

How many picks has Brett Farve made in is career? Ram's going to make mistakes but I think he has the skill and (brains) to be a good one.
