Feely, hands down!:tongue:
BenchFiedler said:Believe it or not, if we are going to make a run for a playoff spot, Frerotte has to be the man. He knows the system allready, so Linehan can throw the whole playbook at him. Unlike Feeley, Linehan will not be able to throw the whole playbook at him because he is stil learning and not confortable in the system yet...Heck, it took Feeley about 10 games into the season to learn Chris Foerster's playbook which is nothing compared to a Linehan or Martz's playbook.
I'm kinda hoping myself Rosenfels starts, like Wanny said last year, he should be a starter, but I'm not sure if he will have a fair shot....

Cobra said:Same difference. Besides he wont be here much longer either.
The point is Saban doesnt give a f*&$ about Feeley, Frerotte is his guy.
dolfanmark said:Feeley had trouble with the offense last year not because it was difficult to learn, but because it was impossible to be successful in. Feeley consistently complained about the fact that there were no hot routes on blitzes. On blitzes, it was up to McKinney to adjust the line calls, and everyone else was supposed to run the play that was called in the huddle. There were no adjustments on the fly. As any Qb would, Feeley kept wanting to go to a hot receiver who was breaking off his route. But, there weren't any. He even admitted that he really struggled with this. And of course, what QB wouldn't struggle trying to run this ridiculous excuse for an offense? After Bates took over, he made the offensive coaches add audibles and hot routes for blitzes. And that's when you saw Feeley improve.

Cobra said:I think Frerotte will start this year and next. Gus will play out the year, Feeley will be traded next year and we will draft a QB with a high pick. The young QB will learn under Gus (C. Palmer style) for a year and then take the reigns. Gus has several more years ahead of him, why not use 'em?
As far as would I want a young QB during the rebuild, No. QB is the one position you want to be stable at. A young new QB with no experience in a new offence with new players is set to fail. See Joey Harrington and the Lions. Have Gus use his veteran leadership to help build the new offence. Then let the young QB come into a stable, proven situation and let him learn.
And Wanny never put Feeley in the shotgun to give him 1-2 seconds more to throw. Wanny set Feeley up for failure. I think the kids got lots of upside and I don't like Frerotte very much. I think people on this board are putting too much hope into Frerotte because they hate Feeley so much. Its only the Feeley haters that are pullin for Frerotte. I vote for Feeley!:tongue:dolfanmark said:Feeley had trouble with the offense last year not because it was difficult to learn, but because it was impossible to be successful in.
