I don't have the stats handy but I'd bet that Bouye has been targeted more than Ramsey has been, and there's a reason for that.

This was your same argument on Lee being better than Hurns.  Athletic talent is just part of it.  Just because a guy is more athletic, faster, or bigger doesn't make one a better player.  Fundamentals, work ethic, toughness, understanding the game and other players tendencies to use to your advantage on the field all come into play.  So many different things other than who is more athletic, they are both great player though and I'm glad we signed Bouye this off-season.

Yeah. Lee is more athletic than Hurns but his hands are keeping him from reaching his ceiling/potential. It's a shame. 
I had high hopes for him. Wish he could be more consistent. 

It's a similar dynamic between Bouye and Ramsey, but the main difference here is that they are both already top tier players at their positions. 

I mean, I don't expect everyone to agree with my assessments, but do you think I'm wrong about Ramsey being more athletically gifted?

I mean, you don't see Bouye playing three steps off of a guy intentionally to bait a QB.  He knows he doesn't have the closing speed. Ramsey does this fairly often.  He's still got plenty of work to do to polish his game (as I mentioned earlier in the thread) and I'm not bad-mouthing Bouye at all  -- it just seems really obvious to me which is the better athlete. Not that it matters. They're both great and it's amazing that we have a duo like that.
