Rattay didnt cost San Fran a 2nd rounder did he? Supposedly a big difference in talent...we threw away that 2nd rounder on 5th-6th round talent. At least the 49ers can just replace Rattay if they want, they dont have to give him more chances because they wasted a high draft pick on him. Im all for drafting a Qb with our 1st or 3rd rounder (2nd if we get one), we need a serious talent upgrade. Feeley/Frerotte is easily one of the worst Qb rotations in football, easily. The only worse rotation was Fiedler/Feeley. Its way past time we realized that we need to find some real talent at the position.
The original posters points are solid, the "it was Feeley's first year in a system" stuff is absurd. The man looked like a 20 year old rookie. Rattay is a better Qb, not saying much but its the honest truth. Feeley had a lot more talent on offense than Rattay and he had years of good coaching from Reid. Feeley was a career backup, it was his job for years to be prepared to go any given week he wasnt prepared after taking 1st team snaps and starting for weeks on end. He's a dud plain and simple.
