after reveiwing the game replay Gus was ok

[HelloMotto]

I can agree with your point islandah, and even some of motto's statement. Gus seems to be more willing to throw it away or take a sack, or even for the love of god, step away from a rush. Things that seem to be too complicated for feeley. But Gus constantly throws too high, or too something. He might be the best choice for the year, but I guess what I was getting at, and seems to be the popular opinion is that none of them is the answer and we need to find the permanent fix somewhere else

i can live with throwing too high but these interceptions returned for tds are killing me. I never seen this happen to us like this, until last year. The one feely threw was behind the receiver on an out route. right into the db hands. :fire:

let me rephrase what I said about not caring who is our QB. Cause it sounds like I'm giving up obn the season. I don't care who it is at this point, AS LONG as their doing the best job out of the trio. I really think we are going to be allot better this year, but I don't think that it's the QB's that are going to make the difference.

 

[HelloMotto]

I was at the game, and I saw nothing from either Frerotte or Feeley that left me feeling confident heading into the opener. Neither looks comfortable out there from what I've seen....

Sage on the other hand looks like a QB that's ready to move up. He should at the very least be moved up ahead of Feeley, and then if Gus screws up, Sage should start....

LET SAGE LOOSE!!!!

PHINZ RULE!!!!

sage had his chance last year against the ravens. I have no faith in him. we need to retool the qb position next year. You will see big changes there next year trust me. we are stuck with what we got for now. unless someone like couch emerges.

sorry to have to keep saying your name so that you know who I am talking to, but for some reason at work I can't write anything in the text box when I try to quote a post. So motto this is for you. Looking at that play again, he just plain rushed it. He didn't want to get nailed again, and he rushed it. And you're right, it looked as though the receiver was slanting out, and jesus, even if he wasn't ready, wouldn't it make more sense to throw to the outside, where it's either your guy, or nobody, why throw to the side where the CB has a better chance to pick it. In fact that nice scramble where he actually avoided getting sacked for a safety, if he throws that pass on target, it's another pick. There was around 4 guys waiting for him to do that. It's mind boggling. Honestly it appears to me that it takes too much of his attention to avoid getting hit, and he loses that lock on his receiver. And then he just throws it, without much thought. This is just stating the obvious, but that crap never happened with marino. If you look at him move in the pocket, he rarely, if ever looked at the rusher. He would just use his peripheral vision and kept looking downfield for his receivers.

i think his problem is that he has to think where to throw the ball (and locks onto a receiver) where gus knows where the receiver should be (and over throws sometimes because they are not quite in sync yet). Feely has no freakin touch on the ball. Its 100 miles an hour to anyone he throws to. He was really off target last nite. there was one pass he skipped to the receiver (the boos came out on that one) feely doesn't play worth a crap till you knock him on this butt (roughing the passer).

Feeley (as he should) accepts the criticism... unfortunately I wonder if it saves his job.

 

[Pinrod33]

the guy is definately a warrior, and I really wish things would be different, and I really wish I could support the guy, and of course I will support him everytime he touches the ball while he's wearing aqua and orange, but he's really frustrating, and I'm about done waiting. Like I said before, maybe it is just preseason crap like someone on here stated earlier, but he's about burned the last match in my book

How Could Gus Have Looked Horrible Last Night??!!!!!!! He Threw 3 Passes!!!
2 Were Completed!!!

Explain To Me How Gus Looked So Horrible?!

 

[Pinrod33]

are you kidding me man, I think three other people have already asked me how I thought gus played horrible (if you were indeed talking to me). I can't quote a post here for some reason, but I already explained that I didn't take yesterdays game as proof for gus, although I think at least one of those throws was a high incompletion. He's been doing it all preseason. And as little as most commentators know, they picked up on it as well, and were even talking about last night saying how gus is constantly throwing high, and feeley constantly throwing low (although I think that was mainly only last night), and if they could put them both together we might have some more completions

While no one seems to believe it, Gus has had more negative plays then Feeley. Gus threw 1 pick and had 2 fumbles, one of which was returned for a TD. Feeley had no fumbles and 2 INTs, one of which was returned for a TD. In roughly the same number of attempts, Frerotte was sacked 5 times to Feeley's 1. By my count, that's more than twice as many negative plays for Frerotte (8) than Feeley (3).

 

[Pinrod33]

that's actually a very intriguing spin on it. Not really spin but clarification. Thanks for the stats Fineas. It actually might put things in a different light for some people. It might just be short term memory, cause Feeley looked horrendous yesterday. In fact, not many are talking about how good the Falcons D is, and how well they are coached. They make allot of QB's look bad. I'm really hoping for the best, and I really hope I'm worrying for nothing. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
