I will give you a hint:
A) The defense has ranked in at or near the top each of the last four years.
B) The running game has ranked in the top half of the league in the last three years
C) The passing game has ranked in the bottom third of the league each of the last four years.
So tell me again why you think Jay is responsible for our winning record?
Bottom line is we have won with defense and running the ball. Despite Jay's sorry impression of an NFL QB.
You say wins are a TEAM accopmlishment. Is passing also not a TEAM accomplishment. While Fiedler may not have been a really good QB over the years, he has been adequate. TEAM? Look at the Oline he has had to deal with. Look at the WRs, some of the worst in the league over the years(as a unit).
You go back on what you say. The TEAM is responsibe for the good, but Fielder is responsible for the bad? It goes both ways bro. YOu can't have it one way, spin it around and call it something different the other way. If you win as a team you LOSE as a team. Want cake? Want to eat it too? Doesn't work that way.
I am defending Jay, yes, by saying he wasn't absolutely crap and wasn't the ONLY reason we have failed as a franchise over the last 4 years. In saying that, we NEED an upgrade at the position.
I am happy Feeley is here and that we have a new starting QB. BUT, we have also upgraded our WR, and our oline can't be any worse than it was last year, so we have potentially upgraded key areas to make the QB look, and perform, a lot better than it has in the past. This year's QB is in a better position to succeed than our QBs in the past 6 - 7 years.
