does the QB controversy start again

[Schleprock]

I cant be certian but I believe Gus is under 50% completion for the pre-season. When averaged out that doesent equal more effective.

Uhmm, I'm talking over the course of the year. I'll take my chances with Gus over 16 games ahell of a lot better than the chances with Feeley. I'm not looking at stats or anything, just the general play at QB.

 

[Dudeman]

Feeley had a high completion percentage, but averaged less than 6 yards per completion. That is not impressive by any means. Add to that the fact that he still has not led the offense to any points at all.......we are in the midst of a QB mess

 

[WestCoastPhins]

you know there were alot of fumbles in a game when the stats for the game has an error in the fumbles category.

Feeley was easily the better QB tonight. He got rid of the ball quickly. Who cares if they're short passes? Why didn't Gus do short passes? Gus looked pathetic tonight.

i say no... yes Feeley did play well and didnt make some of the mistakes he has in the past but i still think that MOST of the mistakes were because of the WHOLE team not just Gus. Yes he made his mistakes as well... it was not a great game for him, but as i said in another post, i think Gus still played fairly solid, the receivers however had a pretty bad night (MCMICHAEL IS PARTICULAR!)

Gus played Solid? LOL sorry but I disagree strongly. He was very inaccurate. Yes McMike had drops, but 1 was clearly behind him. Gus overthrew, underthrew. It was by far his worse game. I dont think think it means this is how he would play thru teh year, but was not a good nite for Gus.

AJ looked alot like what he was supposed to. He didnt have the dear in headlights look. Had a couple drops as well. That play at the end of teh half was his biggest mistake. That shouyldnt happen, he needs to know the time. Other than that I thought he handled being under pressure well tonite.

I dont know whether this changes the qb situation or not, guess we will find out when Saban addresses it. I am not sure what he will do since he seems to want it settled as do the 1st team offense.

Feeley is also doing little more than dinking the ball around at this point. His completion percentage is high, but he's averaging slightly more than four yards per attempt at this point.

Considering that the Dolphins aren't gameplanning for these games, I doubt this game will have much impact on the quarterback competition. Gus has reportedly been routinely outplaying AJ in practice, and that's where most of the decision making will come from.

These games will only determine who the last 5-6 players on the roster will be. Nothing more.

Amen. Was anyone else as frustrated as I was waiting for AJ to throw something downfield before the half ended? I was wondering if he even knew how much time he had left.

Tonight was the biggest discrepancy of performance between the two QBs so far in a preseason game. Game 1 They both looked good/ Game 2 they both bit/ Tonight Gus was a joke while feeley did well.

Neither did Gus, so scratch that eh? ALot of AJs passes were under pressure and he went to his 2nd or 3rd option. He also had deeper balls dropped.

Some will find anything to say Aj didnt really play well, even tho theiur argument applies to Gus as well, tho no mention of that.

But I agree we are in qb hell.

I already posted the YPA of everybody. Frerotte was no better.

We've now got Frerotte with a rating of 73.6 and Feeley with a rating of 65.6. Considering Feeley's interception wasn't entirely his fault and Frerotte's touchdown was accidental, I'd say Feeley has the edge.

I know logic doesn't play into this much, since a lot of people here simply hate A.J. Feeley. Gus Frerotte isn't going to give this team more than 8 wins as a starter. The more he plays, the worse he does. We don't know what we're going to get with Feeley, but if he had played a full season last year we were looking at 6-10. With the better options this year, that should be at least 8-8.

I'm not going to deal with this tonight. I deal with numbers. Frerotte faced a tough defense and he crumbled like a stale cracker. Big surprise, it's exactly what he's done in the past. A.J. was beaten like a rented mule all last season, and I think he's a little tougher than Gus.

Unfortunately, this isn't my decision to make.

Yeah except you left out a key point in that argument, he was under pressure when he dropped back and didnt have time to go deep. Had he just thrown it up and he got picked, what would you say then? He did make a huge mistake not realizing the time left on the clock and should have spiked teh ball.

 

[Dudeman]

Christ...................I'm not saying that Gus played well at all. His numbers would have been better had some drops been caught, but thats besides the point. He played a tough D.

Next week, they play the Tampa D, who is equally as tough. Once again, I think the QBs will drops some turds on the field

 

[GRYPHONK]

both of his fumbles were not all his fault. The one was a missed assignment, the other was a bad snap.

He didn't play well, but people are making his performance to be much worse than it was

Oh so basically what you are saying is that some are doing exactly what alot of you did about Feeley.

Making his play to be worse then it was.

Funny how when it's the guy you want it changes your outlook of defense and attack huh?

No Gus didn't really play horrible. His WR'S let him down and he had bad blcoking.

I will only fault him for the fumble for a TD. The blitz came up the middle he has to see that and either go down, protect the ball or throw it away. Just like Feeley needs to pay attention to the Lb'ers

So would AJs, tho he didnt have the drops that Gus did, he wasnt nearly as inaccurate as Gus was. One drop is attributed to Gus. Yes catchable but was clearly behind McMike and a tough catch.

Yes that was a bad play.

However Feeley can't win with some of you.

Do some of you realize that we don't have the best route runners nor do we have WR'S that can constantly get open? So you want him to force it? Then what, you complain he threw an incompletion, a INT or made a bad decision.

Face it he did what you wanted. He checked off, he didn't stare down and he went to his 2nd and 3rd options.

The play isn't happening downfield so you are gonna fault a QB for moving the chains and taking what is given to him?

get some glasses man....I never posted about the lack of O-line and its effect on Feeley. It would've been exactly the same story had Feeley started tonight, neither would've played well.
