ha ha sorry ass jay fiedler...one of the worst long term contract extensions this franchise has ever made...
I didn't like Fiedler as a QB, but he was the epitome of a "tough football player" give the guy a break already
I will give him a break when I lose the memory of him not throwing to the WR on crossing route to gain the 1st down, but instead throws to doubled covered Chris Chambers. The worst part about it was that it was about a 40 yd pass that needed to be thrown on a rope, instead he throws a wounded duck that must have hung in the air for 6secs. The guy is a bum. The only reason he won was because of the players around him made up for his deficiencies. If we would have had a better QB, we would have been a much better team.
Although Fiedler had his limitation...no one can question his toughness on the field. The man laid his heart out there every Sunday for the team.

Jay Fiedler was not an elite talent by any means. The guy could barely throw an out pattern. That was the franchise's fault for not investing in an heir apparent to Danny. None of that was Jay's fault. Jay was highly competitive and tough. Who can forget his scramble at the end to win the game against the Raiders that garnered him the cover of SI. If you look at one our early 2000s teams, Jay got hurt and we needlessly lost some games with the likes of Ray Lucas. This was the era when the defense was at the height of its powers and the offense had Ricky ripping it up, an emerging Chambers and McMike plus Gadsden. That was a damn good team with Jay. But Fiedler got hurt and people forget what a ceiling that team could have had if Lucas didn't wet the bed.
Do I wish the team had drafted Drew Bree's as I wanted in real time? Of course but none of that changes what Jay did. Overall, he was our guy and I support him because he was a high character guy, tough, and competitive
