Of course, I can't speak for anyone else...I am hoping that he makes a name for himself.
The hero-worship of the QB position is never-ending. Fans used to be able to "feel" good about there team because they had this guy with a great name..."Marino".
Guys like Delhomme, or Kitna, or Hassleback, or even Brady...don't send chills up your spine (whatever that is), or at least there was a time when they were just a third string QB.
It's a shame really. We have a history of a couple players developing a great name with the Dolphins.
Fans will applaud this move if it works. If it doesn't...they will run Feeley's name into the ground. They will mock it and pat themselves on the back for knowing that it would never work.
That says more about the fans themselves than it does about some Quarterback's name.
