I have this theory about why CC drops so much when Gus is in. Gus has a cannon with no touch. The big difference between him and Sage is the soft touch. Gus has Marinos gun but not his touch, that is what I have seen all season. If you go back the games we left on the field, ala pats and falcons, it is Gus' inability to throw the soft fade routes. He tries to gun it in too much. Go back and look at the old Marino tapes, the cannon is very similar to Gus', but the accuracy and touch is so much more profound. Gus is a good caretaker QB, but he will never win the big ones because he doesn't possess that touch and instinct. I think Sage might have it. The only way to find out is to play SAge in the next 2 weeeks. One thing that you can't overlook is a QBs ability to come back, and finish the game. AJ did it once, Sage did twice, Gus has never done the 2 minute to come back and win. Remember, that is the hallmark of Marino, when you are behind in the fourth, Dan delivers. I dont see that pressure drive in Gus. The hallmark of a winner is "when you squeeze them very hard, they focus and deliver." Sage has proven that twice and Gus?
 
add the fact that he's not an accurate passer... can't scramble... and hasn't really rallied us from behind for any of our victories... his interception before halftime Sunday was ill-advised and totally changed momentum...

that was the knock on him, that he goes from average to horrible when he's pressured... like i said over the summer... we know what we have with Gus Frerrotte... let's take a look and see what we have with the unknown...

there's two games left... put Sage or Cleo in there...
 
I agree, look at the tape and you will see that gus is not a clutch player. He will beat you early, but not when you are behind. That is a special gift, Gus does not possess. If anyone has proof to the contrarary, pleas let me know!

Wasn't the argument during pre season is that Gus had touch and AJ didn't..boy does it change a lot depending on how much we like the QB.

That INT wasn't his fault at all. He's been playing lights out the last few games despite his rating... :shakeno:
 
gus has one of the strongest arms you will ever see, but not accurate at all. im not sure why people call him immobile. he buys a lot of time, sometimes too much time and makes a late throw.

the thing i like about sage that i have not seen from gus, is that sage has a bit of flair to his game.
 
We would have never won the Buffalo game with Gus in. I havent really ever been a Guskateer. I wanted Feeley to start over Gus.

Yea he was lights out in Buffalo and New York. One of the few Qb's that gave himself a concusssion. Gus has more touch than Feeley is like saying Rosie Odonnel looks better than Bride of Frankenstein.

Gus is not real mobile but far from a statue.
