At least this is what he's saying publicly, but I suspect Saban is looking at it in a business manner as well as ability to run the O. I think it's fair to say it's Feeley's job to lose. But since Saban told Gus he can complete for the starting position as a part of his signing here..he's not gonna say something else publicly..just like he's interested in B. Edwards during the draft, but choose Brown. Sanan's not stupid, he knows what the phins has invested in AJ..just like he knew what we invested in R. Williams.
Ah but there are some drastic differences in the two situations.
1) Ricky cost two first rounders, A.J. A second rounder.
2) Ricky has proven he is a Pro Bowl talent when he is right, AJ has proven
nothing yet except inconsistency.
Should Frerotte look noticably better than Feeley come the 4th pre-season game I have no doubt Frerotte will be the opening day starter, if they look similar it will probably be AJ.
