Aj Feeley Bandwagon Alllll Abbboard!!!

The first drive Gus had was the best drive anyone playing with 1st teamers has had all pre-season. Everyone talks about Gus over throwing on the deep balls, but CC should have had the one. Also AJ overthrew Mann who was wideopen on the deep ball. AJ would have thrown a pick for six if he was playing 1st teamers on the play where Lee caught the tip ball.
If you also include the drops that hit recievers or the one CC caught that we challenged, which was a PERFECT throw, I really don't think Gus played bad. That first drive was GREAT.
We must keep perspective. Brock looked great in the 4th quarters vs backups playing prevent like what AJ was playing. Saban will watch the tapes and will see things we don't. If he names AJ the starter I for one will support the team and the decision, but don't be surprised if Gus remains the opening day starter.
Either way, whoever is the starting QB I will be a fan. I have never liked AJ and still don't(I will always say we seriously overpaid for AJ), but if he is our starter I will pull for him.

By your own admission, you're pretty biased.

Frerotte threw a ton of balls at receivers' feet, including the challenged pass. The pass Feeley threw to Mann wasn't all that different from the pass from Frerotte to Chambers. Chambers laid out for his, and Mann didn't. Mann caught it out-of-bounds, and Chambers dropped it, with his feet in-bounds.

I don't think I can honestly say I have no bias, however I don't dislike either player. I just think Frerotte has plateaued. He's not getting any better.

Feeley, however, has shown improvement every game since about week ten, last season. We have no reason to believe he won't get better as the season progresses, as long as he's giving first team practice and play time.

Everyone is high on getting a quarterback in the draft next year and grooming him into a super bowl caliber signal caller. This makes me sad, because that means by the time we're ready to seriously challenge, offensively, for a title, many of our top defensive players will be gone/retired.

With Feeley at quarterback, as long as he can pick up the system fairly quickly, we'll be able to compete next year, easily.
 
I think Gus did well out of the gates, which is something that impresses me. I didn't like some of his throws later on, but I also think the receivers didn't help him. The deep toss to CC should have been caught. There was no difference between that and AJ's toss to Farmer, so you can't blame Gus any more than you can congrad AJ. Both were good throws.

I think we should stay with Gus for now.

The difference between Frerotte's pass to Chambers and Feeley's pass to Mann, was Feeley's pass was in-bounds, so Farmer was able to catch it in-stride and reach the endzone.

I always thought that Gus would end up with the job.

Honestly, this is the first time I have felt that there is a true QB controversy. I felt that AJ deserved the first crack at the job. He got it and he failed. Gus was better than Feeley when he took over the job early in the preseason.

However, it looks like Gus has hit a plateau. Meanwhile, AJ continues to progress as he learns the offense. Neither of them have proven much, but I think that A.J.'s accuracy is starting to come around. He deserves to play against the first team defense next week.

Please let us know how he failed? I'm a little confused with that statement.

This is what we call "excuses". Had enough of those with Jay. Go with the guy that performs and lets knock off the excuses. A.J. has earned the right to a half with the starters to settle this QB bit once and for all and if he struggles also then so be it.

Simple truth is that Gus has stunk it up 2 games in a row and was mediocre the first game. That doesn't cut it in pee wee football let alone the NFL.

3 games in a row.

He failed after, what? 7 whole plays. He hasn't had the opportunity to work with our starting WR's.

Good post. That's how I feel about Feeley. Those who wrote him off before preseason even started, are uninformed. MOST QB's have to be developed and playing behind McNabb did not offer him an opportunity. Last year was an impossible situation to develop a QB in.
 
Frerrote was perfect in the gameplanned stuff. I dont know what any of you were watching, but Gus drove that team down the field, period. Gus is just off with his recievers, so is Feeley. I always expect it in the preseason. Its something that gets corrected in the regular season.

I have come to the conclusion that people want to hang their hat on someone they can claim as a "star". And that person would be Aj. You cant hang your hat in that regard on "GUS". That is the reality here folks.
