The impatience by the PHANS might be clouding some judgement. Feeley needs time to adjust/learn our system. Let him perfect his reads/options in camp and practice. I think the smart money is on JF winning the initial camp battle. HOWEVER, JF will basically serve as a mentor to AJF. AJF still needs someone he can learn from and ask advice. Eventually, when/if JF gets injured/banged up, AJF will have his chance to ease into the starting line up.
Remember what NYJ did with Pennington. They groomed him for 3 years. When he finally did emerge... you see the results. I'd rather have JF starting the first 5/6 games THEN letting AJF come in and steer the ship from that point forward. But, AT LEAST give AJF time to SEE our system work in a game. He can learn from JF's mistakes. Then, when there is less pressure on him AND he has a winning record to cushion his learning curve, let him start. You might even try to let him play a few "mop up" quarters to further help him loosen up.
We PHANS are forgetting that by shoving him into the spotlight immediately, we are placing more unnecessary pressure on him. We are SAYING he has to win.... he has to beat out Fiedler. What if he is the guy, but just not ready?
Don't ruin his acquisition by throwing him to the wolves just to get rid of JF. Let him start when he's ready, not when we're ready.
