Feeley or Frerotte to start at QB

gus sucks.

let AJ be this year's starter.
if he sucks, we get our franchise QB in first day of 06 draft.
if he is good, then we are set (tentatively) at QB for a few years.

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....

Lineham can't throw the whole playbook at just one man, the rest of the team is in the same situation as AJ, they can only throw what the team as a unit can handle.

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.
 
the last post is a very good one, if feeley can play that is the best thing for this team because he is young, we will know if he is cut out soon, if not at least we have a guy that will produce to keep us competitive this year and we have to upgrade, unless sage is a dark horse

Same difference. Besides he wont be here much longer either.

The point is Saban doesnt give a f*&$ about Feeley, Frerotte is his guy.

It is NOT the same difference. Maybe if Wanny wasn't so glued to Fiedler's ***, then he would've played Feeley more in the preseason to get him some rhythm with teh WR's.
 
Maybe give Feely a little time to drop back and set up to pass, then we'll see what he's capable of.

You hit it right on the dot thats exactly feeley started to improve towards the end of the season casue they werent running the lame *** offence that wanny just had to run, feeley will vastly improve this year and this is the main reason y
 
I think the main thing is that saban is not commited to anyone until he sees them perform. Even if Feeley starts, he is going to have a very short leash and that's the problem, Feeley is still many full games from being adequate. i don't think saban will be patient enough to give him 1 whole if he is playing bad.

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.

i envision this scenario as well cobra. of course gus has no upside, but he can hold the fort down until our real qb (who is still in college, and most likely plays his football in los angeles or bowling green ohio;) ) is ready to play.

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:
