Frerotte injury a coverup?

[testtubetimmy]

Im sure we've all thought this at one point. Is it convenient that our struggling quarterback suddenly hurts himself while everyone is clamoring to put Rosenfels in? Is this an easy way for Saban to "mix up" team chemistry, using an injury as an excuse to put in our backup and see if we can finally win games?

Lets not forget the last time a genius coach (belichick) sat his starter due to an injury. Some no named kid came in and won them a superbowl. Granted, they were a great team. We're a bit far from that.

Im not saying that the finger injury doesnt exist. He hurt his finger for sure. But is it enough to sideline a QB, especially against a team like Cleveland? We've seen other QBs tape it up and go, and he hasnt even picked up a football yet.

Did Saban tell him to milk the injury? To not bother tossing around a football, and is this his way of finally trying another QB other then Gus? Because if it doesnt work, he can still put Gus in without the shame of sitting him because he's bad. Ya know? Sort of sidestepping the reason he wouldnt take Gus out to begin with.

What do you think?

I'd buy that. I'm a big sports conspiracy theorist.

I think this is a thread that needs to be shut down already. Do we have to start a conspiracy theory over Saban, Frerotte, Sage, etc. etc.? What is the point of it beside showing we are poor fans?

Not likely!

I saw him hurt his finger during the game. Saw him shaking his hand

So did I but if you have the game TIVOed watch it again, I don't think his hand even comes near a helmet but in the background there is a guy standing on a knoll who looks like he has a pee shooter. There have been reports that after the game this same guy appeared in the parking lot and Saban gave him an envelope. :goof:

Guess I will have to slow it down and look for the guy on the grassy knoll

i dont think saban would do that....im sorta torn on this i would like to see sage get his shot but we still have a tiny tiny chance to finish really strong and if NE has a meltdown we could be back in the AFCE race in a couple of weeks and i think saban will do whatever it takes to win and i think right now that is leaving gus in he had what 350+yds 2tds 1int last week.....i doubt we will get that production out of sage in his 2nd start....gus has taken some poundings and given himself some poundings so i think he would be tough enough to stick it out if it wasnt a serious injury.

I would hope that if Saban wanted to bench Gus he would have the Balls to just bench him. Sorry not this time the conspiracy is a little far fetched.

yeah, 360 yards passing, 2 TD's and would have been more if we had a real WR and we are covering something up? I would say, you just wasted alot of peoples time.

Like I said, Im not saying he didnt hurt his finger. Im asking if Saban is telling him to sit out for a game and milk the injury so we can see how Sage does without benching Gus for the rest of the season.

Saban said he wouldnt take Gus out, because if we lose with Sage, then putting Gus back in would look stupid.

I just think this is a bit convenient. McNabb can play with a sports hernia and all sorts of troubles. Frerotte cant tape up a finger and throw a ball? He wouldnt even have to throw OFTEN, because we could hand it off most of the time.

I just think this is a bit fishy. Tell me I've wasted everyones time, but its my opinion. Ill gladly waste your time to say what I have to say. And I gladly offer you the same opportunity.

Agreed....Don't think Saban would jump through hoops like this just to bench a QB.

What's the point of responding to a thread you think should be shut
