QBs Patrick Ramsey, Dan Orlovsky to Visit

[nero THE zero]

Bleh.

Would have preferred any of the other oft mentioned back-ups, but a back-up's a back-up.

More Denver connection. He's been Cutler's backup.

The John-a-chron is confirming the visit.

The first unrestricted free agent to visit the Texans' offices is quarterback Patrick Ramsey. ...

In 2007, the Texans tried and failed to sign Ramsey, who chose Denver instead. He spent the last two years with the Broncos. He attempted only three passes last season and completed two. ...

"He attempted only three passes last season and completed two."

I prefer to read that as, "Ramsey showed how deadly accurate he can be with his 66% completion percentage last year" . at least while in this pre-draft season of unbridled optimism.

Hopefully they don't pay him what they payed Sage who, if I recall correctly, had a pretty high base salary for someone that had been a backup QB. But ability-wise I'm fine with Ramsey as backup. I think he'll do reasonably as well as Sage did.

[Nconroe]

Sage was 6-4 , which is 3 of 5 games won, that isn't bad for a backup.

LOL. Ya, "a man so feared on the football field, he rarely saw action in 2008"....

Ramsey has never gotten his due: in 2002, he was the 3rd QB taken in the first round but I would argue he's the best of them!

Here's an interesting question that may not have a right answer:

Of those three QBs, who went to the best coaching staff? and the best organization?
