I think Hartley is just riding the JMac until he falters, which makes sense from a this season perspective. As has been said there are plenty of games left and Ramo will get his chance.

I would rather JMac played in the next game versus SJ anyway, otherwise we could be setting up Ramo to fail big time. You could argue that if he is good enough he should be able to step in regardless of the team he is facing but I don't agree with that, he is getting used to the NA game again and going against the currently hot sharks is not a good plan. He could be lights out but he could be shelled. Better to go against Dallas or Phoenix, at least they are a weaker option.
