Feeley Should Start

M-REAL said:
Good post InFins! The only thing i'm wondering is what the sun-sentinel newspaper stated that the WR's were glad that a qb was named so that the first teamers could get their chemistry in sync. They didn't want to go through another season switching between two qbs.

Then start AJ and go with it.

If we start gus, we'll be switching QBs this year.

See, here's my point....We have one QB that we know isn't taking us anywhere. We have one that hasn't taken his team anywhere in 12 years. We have another that needs to play before anybody can say with any authority whether he's a complete bust or not.

AJ may certainly be a bust, no doubt about it but, we need to find out now. Wasting time with gus getting used to playing with the starters only takes away from AJ's time to do the same thing. When we get 5 games into the season and gus has a lynch mob waiting outside his house, he gets his job taken away, then how many games do we have to wait for AJ to build the chemistry that gus spent 5 weeks wasting?

Wishing for another QB at this point is as big a waste of time as starting gus.

i agree with you 100% infins.

here's the thing. if frerotte starts the first five games and sucks, everyone will crucify him and call for his head.

If feeley started those SAME five games and sucked, everyone would be making excuses for him. I just want some equality here. but you are right, Gus will lead us to nowhere, period. AJ will lead us to nowhere, but at least can have another shot to show us what we spent a 2nd on. On the same token i'd be interested in seeing what Berlin can do at this point. He doesn't look worse than Alex Smith out there, why not try him out?

great points... but i disagree about we'll "know what we have with feeley". we "knew" what we had with him last year and the feeley homerism out there is insane. I'm not a gus supporter or feeley supporter, but i AM sick of the Feeley homers on here.

The guy could throw 15 INTs and still have their hearts. i mean come on... the excuse machine continues....

No we didn't.

The Dolphins would be better served to lose 11 games with Feeley at QB than to lose 11 games with gus at QB.

gus looks as bad, if not worse, than any QB that has come through here in the last 5 years. We're not going to the play-offs with gus as our QB. There are no if's, ands, or buts about it. If gus survives the whole season as a starter without getting injured, we'll be drafting in the top 10 and we won't know jack-**** about Feeley.

Let Feeley be the starter, learn the system by playing in it, and if he survives the whole year without getting injured we're either going to be exactly where we'd be with gus, except that we'll KNOW what Feeley is as a QB,

......or we're going to watch Feeley get better and better throughout the season.

With Feeley as the starter it's a win win even if we lose lose.

Start gus and it's a lose lose and more lose.

Ya left the most important word off your title. "PACKING". Feeley should start PACKING, as he has no shot at starting in this league. Gus has shown more leadership abilities and more ability to move the ball than anyone on the roster. Gus is not the long term answer, but it is now obvious that player is not yet on our roster.
According to your logic, (we should waste another season on AJ to find out what we all ready know) the same could be said about Brock. We don't KNOW what they can do, so lets just give Brock the reins for this season and don't look back. At least he is young, unlike AJ.
 
Gus Frerotte I think should be the starter...Feeley had an opportunity last year and flopped, though he did show some very good toughness taking hit after hit and still coming back, their is a reason why we got Gus. Gus isn't anything special, but last night he couldn't control the drops that our WR's had...I'd be more confident with Gus starting than Feeley...Just my opinion.

I'd love to see Berlin or even Sage given a shot at this if Saban thinks they can handle the job. I'd love for gus to be the veteran back-up that goes in during a game if the young guys are struggling. Like Strock used to do with Woodley. gus is just not going to help us in any other way.
 
I agree, but I still think we need a QB to groom for the future. AJ may be serviceable but what about 2-3 years down the road when the rest of Saban's draft choices are beginning to come in to their own. That is what we really need to focus on.

Again, anybody that wants to evaluate Feeley based on the team that we had last year is just ignorant.

Well we have to evaluate AJ playing with our players. Since last year was the only time that happened someone would have to be IGNORANT, NOT to bring up last year. Everyone hated Jay, but even HE outplayed AJ. Now this year AJ looks even worse, if that is possible. The fact people even wants him on our team amazes me, let alone throwing away another season to prove what anyone with eyes can see in a quarter of watching him.

It is not as if AJ is a rookie with tons of upside. He is not a NFL starting caliber QB, and never will be. If there are those out there who have not yet figured that out, another season will not convince them. It will take no less than 20 years of AJ throwing more TDs to the other team for someone that IGNORANT to see what the rest of us can see in a quarter. :shakeno:

KTOWN, smack and hyperbole isn't going to cut it.

If last year is so important to you, explain to me why AJ improved throughout the year and threw 120+ passes over his last three games with only one INT, that was NOT returned for a TD.

The picks for TDs argument is ridiculous. Feeley overcame that problem the second half of his starts and his clearly shown throughout camp and the preseason games that he's not going to revert. Maybe you should watch more than a quarter of a football game if you're going to make such absurd comments

Anyone who still uses that argument doesnt really know what he's talking about so why would they address that point. Its used just to insult and talk smack not reveal football knowledge
