Tricky question about 2002, you had David Carr picked first by Texans, Joey Harrington picked third by Detroit and Patrick Ramsey picked 32 by Washington. I guess Ramsey was on the best of those three teams. none of those three QBs have become great so far, but all still around. I really havent seen Ramsey play that much so hard to comment on his skills right now.

These are preseason stats, Ramsey playing with his fellow Bronco backups, but... eh, fwiw.

2008 - 24-40 60%, 169 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT, 46.8 QB Rating
2007 - 23-42 55%, 313 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 92.7 QB Rating

Not sure what happened last year.

If you recall, the Broncos came to Reliant Stadium in preseason week 1 (nice game from David Anderson in this one, btw). Nick Ferguson intercepted Ramsey's first pass attempt of the game. Ramsey went 6-11 32 yards and 2 INT (Jamar Fletcher made the other pick), probably why a lot of us (including me) are a bit lukewarm on this probable signing.

If this guy was signed, then why are they bringing in Orvlosky?

From Chron:
Dan Orlovsky is the second free agent quarterback who will visit the Texans.

Orlovsky, who started for Detroit in the Lions' 28-21 loss on Oct. 19 at Reliant Stadium, follows Denver's Patrick Ramsey, who was in town Friday and today. Orlovsky will visit today and Sunday.

In his start against the Texans, Orlovsky completed 12 of 25 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown. For the season, he threw for 1,616 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions while splitting time at quarterback with Daunte Culpepper.

Arizona defensive end Antonio Smith is spending the day with the Texans. Smith is a candidate to replace left defensive end Anthony Weaver, who was waived earlier this week.
