Holy crap, I am so sorry! There's someone who has the same avatar that you do that was complaining non-stop after the draft (I can't remember who it was now) that we didn't draft a QB, and I thought it was you. After checking your posts, I realize that I made a mistake. I am very sorry about that; it was a totally unnecessary and uncalled for comment on my part.
Noted. But as I said, my point was just that the track record is that QBs who haven't done anything by this point in their careers are very unlikely to be successful. Past history is not always indicative of future results....but that's the way to bet.
I'm not writing Feeley off for 2005, nor will I start a "In Gus We Trust" bandwagon. But here's the thing; what concrete evidence do we have that Feeley WILL succeed? The burden has been put on me by a lot of people to prove that he won't. I posit that his age and poor performance as a starter (even taken with a massive grain of salt due to a crappy coaching staff and awful running game and line play), taken with past history, mean that he's not likely to succeed.
Most of the people taking issue with my article counter with "he hasn't had enough time yet" and "give him a chance". Fine. But what evidence do you (not necessarily you specifically, Phinstigator) have that he WILL succeed? "He needs a chance" isn't an argument that he'll succeed (neither is "you suck, Phil!"). If you take issue with my opinion, give me concrete evidence as to why I'm mistaken.
HVac cites his 1 INT in his final 90 passes. Okay, that's a start. What else?
