Greg Bedard's clarification on Feeley

[Surferosa]

Dude, if you're referring to me, you'd better go back to bed, wake up again, and start over. I challenge you to find any post where I've been a "hugger" or a "hater", ever. I was curious about the contradiction between our camp observers and what Bedard posted on his blog.

I saw enough of Feeley last year to lead me to this conclusion: the jury is out. I don't know why neither you "haters" or "huggers" can't accept that some people just haven't seen enough to make up their mind. On the one side, you "haters" are really underplaying the effect that a lack of a running game and horrid OL protection, and inexperience had on the guy, you likewse wholly ignore the obvious improvement in his game as the season went on. On the other hand, the "huggers" want to look only at his laser throws and overlook his tendency to stare down his receiver, his lack of poise, lack of touch, and all the ints. Both camps need to face this fact: he's a developing QB. He's shown enough to warrant NOT throwing him out the window, but he hasn't demonstrated that he's a starting calibre QB. You guys can make arguments either way, but you're not convincing anyone who has a modicum of sense to understand this type of evaluation takes time. I want the best QB to start. Period. In light of the #2 we gave up, it would obviously benefit us if that QB was Feeley, but if he's not the best, then that's the way it is. 'Aight?

Agua, you kick a-s-s man.

we could only wish the white house were followed as closely as sports.

Amen to that. Also a criteria that wins and losses determine who stays and who goes, not fear-based lies and distortion.

My question is " WHY WOULD YOU PAY ATTENTION TO SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON'' ???? :confused:

Syra,

You had to follow the other thread yesterday where this was raised to get the point of this thread. It was a clarification of an issue that came up in another thread. I posted in the comments section of the blog to Bedard asking why we were seeing all these reports about Feeley stinking and yet his report on PBP said "all QBs looked much better [Sunday]".

Well put....I agree with you.

Look, I don't pretend to watch mini-camp closely. I'm more interested in the new defensive system than anything. I try to chart the team portions -- and AJ looked fine there. In 7-on-7 and other drills, he very well might have looked like garbage. But I wasn't watching that. You can't tell anything from drills.

so what the **** does he know?

It's not as if he didnt pay attention... he focused on what was important. He is 100% right for the fact that you cant judge individual performance in mini camps. No pads, no rushing, no real football... what you can focus on is how the team will be ran from an X's and O's percpective and good for him for focusing on that and not getting succered in for the unimportance of these minicamps and individual performances
