After our rb quit, we were leaning toward Feeley because of his ability to get the ball downfield to Chambers, McMichael, and Boston. But, now since Boston is out, we may go with Fiedler and the more conservative approach.
PS. Don't shoot the messenger.
fiedler has not fooled anyone there just has not been any good competition brought in here to beat him out of the starting spot is all..griese was the only one and we all know how that turned out. if griese panned out last year then he would have been our starter this year but it did not happen. so enter a.j. feely lets see?midwest_phinfan said:If Fielder does start this season it won't be for long. With him as the QB this team will go nowhere. Once the team is 1-3, 1-4 something like that with Fiedler, Feeley will get to play out the rest of the season. Hopefully this doesn't happen, I still think we have a shot at the playoffs with Feeley at QB. Fiedler is a career backup at best, it is a modern day miracle that he has fooled this coaching staff into thinking he is a starter for the past 3 seasons.
Acrunch said:My comments: With David Boston out for the season and the disertion of Ricky Williams, the outlook for this season has taken quite a hit. I don't think any Fins fan can honestly believe we're going to make a run at the SB this year. So, IMO, they have to go with A.J. Feeley at QB. One of the biggest knocks agains AJ is that he is too inexperienced. So why not just let him get the experience he needs this season, let him get comfortable as an NFL starter, when the pressure of the Superbowl is no longer there? That way, next season, with upgraded talent around him and a year under his belt, he'll be ready to lead the team to victories. We already know (unfortunately) what Jay Fiedler brings to the team and that he is not the longterm answer for us, so I see this has the perfect time to let AJ show us what he and can't do. We spent a 2nd rounder on him, let's see if it was worth it.
