Feeley Should Start

Wildbill3 said:
Even the best QBs in this league have usually worked thier way into the 1st sting line-up, and they hardly ever are successful at thier first year.

Since the merger there is something like two QB's who started the majority of the games during the season, and have a winning record.

Here's a hint, one's retired and a hall-o-famer, and the other was a rookie last year.

In other words, Rookie Qbs should be allowed to sit on the bench and learn from someone else, an hopefully contribute in the second or third year. (Think Chad Pennington, Drew Brees, etc)

you're 100% right, but can we afford to do that? say we start Gus and have Berlin study under the vet (i say gus because feeley isn't really a vet yet)... so say this year is so bad at the QB position, now its next year. do we now start Brock or draft a QB in the first round and pay out the a$$ for him? do we risk NOT drafting a QB and hoping Berlin is the answer? i don't know if we can waste another year - we need to find/work on our QB of the future now.

I think the QB juggling should be over. Whoever starts next weekend should be named the starter for week 1. This competition is killing the teams chances of building any offensive chemistry. Gus and AJ are so close, does it really matter.

I would disagree wholeheartedly with respect to throwing INT's. Gus has not thrown many if at all and is puposely throwin the ball away when he sees nothing. I dont think anyone in their right mind would think Feeley would have done better going against that aggressive D of Pitt with our Oline with a half a tank a gas. Feeley is never ever going to make it as a starter with any team because he doesnt have the mindset. Gus at least has the experience and the mindset. Gus will not be a longterm answere, but he is the starter IMO because he can deliver once he gets acclamated to his started core and get Linehan's system going in a real gameplan. Feeley doesnt even know what that is yet.

Sounds to me like that's what you said. Let's check:



Yup, you said we know he won't be any more than a 3rd stringer. It's your opinion, but you stated it as a fact.

Thanks for checking, when I respond to a post should I change my story or should I just post sarcasm? I will stick with my opinion

The only problem with that is that The san fransisco 49ers would dink and dunk it to Rice and Taylor and #33 and they would score and get YAC. what Feeley was doing last night was just padding his percentage knowing that it would gain him recognition. But in the end, he will end up throwing INT's. Bank on it. But if it will make all the touchy feeley's happy, i say start him for the sake of them seeing it for themselves so they can shut up for once. This is getting rediculous.

imo he's worried about making a mistake, which is why he checks down so much. with his dinks and dunks and a 6 ypc, not ypa, but ypc average in the starting lineup, we may end up having to lowest socring offense in team history, but at least he isn't throwing picks and his throws have zip on them, right?

I said you stated your opinion as fact. You said you didn't. There was no sarcasm there.

We don't know AJ will never be more than a 3rd stringer. While there is a possiblity it's true, we don't know that yet. There is also a possibility he will be the starting QB this year. If not, it looks as though he'll be #2. Still better than a 3rd stringer at best.

Like I said "IF" he becomes the starter for this team come back and give me all the $#!% you want and I will eat crow! untill then keep praying hell emerge from his 5 year NFL cocoon and become the QB of your dreams.
 
WHY ISNT ANYONE FOR GIVING GUS A CHANCE?? This is the only thing I don't understand when it comes to the Frerotte v. Feeley threads. Let Gus start game 1, maybe game 2 if he does bad in game 1. (Just like they did with Fiedler). If he does bad, AJ gets the reigns. Simple enough?? Give the man a shot at a Full Game with the 1st stringers before you make up your minds. Its the least we can do because I am sick of seeing Feeley picks for 6 goin the other way.

LOL and you are so cetrain it would be diff for Gus? Gus starts only if he outperforms AJ. But you did almost come out and say what many are actually thinking. It is a "please let Gus start, I dont care if AJ is performing better, I dont like him so even if he is better I dont want him to start". Flip flopping qbs is worse than starting either one. It hurts chemistry.

If AJ were the better of the two based on the performance turned in last year and the first 2 preseason games, then your argument might hold some water. Lets be honest here, he is just not ready and does not have a good grasp of the offensive scheme yet. Let Feeley ride the bench a few games or better yet cut the guy, save face, and recoup the cap # that he is responsible for, especially if he is our back up this season because he would be an expensive backup.
 
aj has outplayed Gus this preseason anyway you want to look at it. Saban in his press conference was pained when asked about the QB position. He pointed to the offensive line play as being the main culprit and that he couldnt really evaluate the rbs or qbs. It seems to me that saban really wanted frerotte to win the qb position and move on. instead he was forced to say that nothing was settled. give him till tomorrow and he'll give back the starting position to feeley.

one last point. although the competition is close enough that there are arguments for both qbs anyone who makes statements equating either qb to a 3rd stringer should quite frankly give up watching football and take up a simpler pasttime like horseshoes. its clear football is too complex for you to grasp

It's interesting that Feeley has been criticized for making too many mistakes and for NOT checking off receivers and taking what the defense gives him...then he gets criticized for NOT making mistakes and FOR checking off receivers.

Realistically...what CAN AJ do that would please you? :rolleyes:
 
the gus bandwagon just got a flat. now all the guskateers are trying to justify their pick by trashing feeley again. its pointless. their boy got outplayed and they refuse to admit it

Maybe you should tell that to all of those beat reporters that wrote stories about AJ in danger of being passed by Sage.
Just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn't make you more knowlegable about football.

Tells you how intelligent the beat reporters are. Do you honestly think Gus has a chance at unseating AJ after the last game?
