    Going with Ray is a mistake in my mind. I think our offense could be a disaster. Even if Ray stays healthy, he's over-the-hill, and I don't like our backups or o-line. Ownership missed a chance for a massive reboot last November.

    I hope I'm dead wrong, but this is the least optimistic I've been about a season since I started following the league.

    How did Burris (who is older than Ray) do last season?

    Throwing a bunch of check downs helps inflate Ray's completion percentage numbers. Likewise for any other QB for that matter.

    Does it inflate his TD/INT ratio? Does it keep his avg gain per pass where it was his entire career?

    Are you comparing the athletic ability of Burris and Ray? Or the ability to stay healthy?

    I'm comparing their age and their results.

    You implied that Ray's age isn't a factor because Burris was healthy in the latter end of his career outside of last year and put up numbers.

    Ray has started 12 games in 2 seasons. Burris, 3 years older, never had injury issues until last year.

    You are also ignoring the fact Burris is a far superior athlete to Ray.

    I'm not comfortable with Ray being our starter and expect him to play 8 games or less. Hopefully I'm wrong and he finds the fountain of youth like Favre did with the Vikings.
