Quote:again with the black and white statements, can he play or not isnt an adequate question. Can he cover Jordy Nelson at this stage in his career? Or is he better suited to cover a lesser receiver like davante adams? I really dont understand why the concept of ramsey not being ready at this time is difficult to grasp.

Quick quiz:  Name the better player out of each pair

 

Rookie year Ben Roethlisberger vs. Tommy Maddox

David Woodley v. Rookie year Dan Marino

James Stewart v. Rookie year Fred Taylor

Chad Henne v. Rookie year Blake Bortles

Rookie year Patrick Peterson v. Richard Marshall

RB Isaiah Pead v. Todd Gurley

Rookie year Joe Haden v. Sheldon Brown

 

Sensing a pattern?

 

In each instance, the rookie player was the superior player to the more experienced guy.  Just because a guy is a rookie doesn't mean he's not ready to play.

 

Now are rookies more inclined to make mistakes? 

 

Absolutely.

 

But is it possible a rookie is better suited to play over their more experienced counterpart?

 

Absolutely.
