Kyle Boller, like the Dolphins' A.J. Feeley, is a young, Jeff Tedford-trained quarterback.
Reporters would have if they had been convinced that Boller and Feeley actually were two different quarterbacks.
Both are Pacific time zone guys who were mentored at Pac-10 schools by current Cal coach Jeff Tedford. Both are 6-3, one 220, the other 225, not nimble in the face of a pass rush and head erratic offenses that have failed reputably mighty defenses this year. Both wear No. 7.
Mostly, both have people asking, ``Is this the guy?''
Is this the guy who'll lead his team beyond junior underachievement and down the road toward a Super Bowl? Or, is this just a quarterbacking blind alley down which each team just gets mugged?
Both have taken their share of media shots since they took their current starting jobs. At each Boller failure, you hear that he was made the starter in 2003 as an inexperienced first round draft pick out of Cal. He didn't even have a complete rookie season after a torn quadriceps.
Actually, you can tell them apart by their releases. Neither is the quick draw that Dan Marino is. But Boller's deliberate delivery reminds you of Steve Austin, TV's The Six Million Dollar Man, doing something bionic

Is this a fair comparison ?
While we are it how do you think Nick Saban will address the QB situation ?.Do you think he will bring in a FA QB to compete with AJ or do you think we will use a high draft pick to get a developmental QB or both ?.
