With a new system and fans not expecting anything great, (most of us think that 8-8 is realistic) AJ figures to be our future and should be the starter. With the pre-season games aand a rebuilt offense, AJ will look better and get better.
Also an improved running game will help. It's not logical to start Gus.:dedolfan:
 
I sure hope that AJ comes in and wins the job to prove you right.
 
After backing up Fiedler with such a crappy front line I think its only fair too give the guy a decent shot. With a swinging gate for a line I doubt any QB could have done much. Is so easy too be negative all the time. Lets at least see what the guy can show us before dumping him. The Bucs are happy now with our Mr Griese. Stranger things have happened. The guy does have a good arm, just needs some quality coaching and alittle help from up front. I am just happy that the Jets are dealing with Jay this year and not us. :tongue:
 
I too hope AJ wins the job, but if he isn't the starter on opening day, then I think he'll never make it. I say that because he'll get every chance to win the job, he's younger with fresher legs and a fresher arm, plus he is a big investment from a cap point of view. I believe Saban wants AJ to be the starter, and will be somewhat disappointed if Frerotte wins the training camp battle. Yeah, I know Frerotte knows the system, but AJ can overcome that with hard work.

Additionally, if he isn't the starter for the first game, that means he didn't rise to the challenge. He knows its make or break, and he really has to prove himself to be a QB in this league. There is nothing stopping him from succeeding. There's no Wanny stunting his growth and confidence, no bickering among the coaches, no dearth at the RB position, and no idiot coaching our O-line. It's his time, and if he ain't starting on opening day, then I believe Saban simply believes he doesn't have the mental capabability to be a QB in the NFL.
 
I would like to see Feeley succeed, but I think it's going to be harder for him because Saban is not the one who brought him here, so no one would be on Saban for bringing in one of his guys to replace Feeley.

i hope he does well so we didnt waste a second round pick on a failure
 
I would be willing to be anyone on this board $20 that (barring injury) Gus Frerotte is our Game 1 starter.

here we go again, somebody that thinks Feeley should just be given the job. :rolleyes:

yeah, its not logical to start Gus if he's the better QB and gives the team a better chance to win :rolleyes:
 
i am on the aj bandwagon too. i think he got a raw deal with last year being so unorganized. i think with good coaching and improved line play (cant be any worse) we should see him show his stuff.

Yeah it wouldnt be logical to start Gus if he clearly beats out AJ for the starting job. It makes more sense to start a guy who is going to throw 10 Ints for TDs and has no idea what he is doing on the field for the mere fact that unemployed GM Rick Spielman wasted a 2nd round pick for him. Had we given up a 5th round pick for Feeley- nobody would be cutting Feeley this much slack.
