I need an answer....

Got 26 names....

I've been called a lot of names and I've had to defend myself against attacks from all these people who have assured me in a variety of ways that Feeley sucks and I'm an idiot....

I'm either going to eat every one of those names, or I'm going to parade them around the site and let everyone know exactly how wrong they were when this thing gets resolved....

Hey now, am I on that list? If so, don't be stringing me along and then BOOM parade me around....lol. No seriously, am I on the list? I can't remember if I get angry at AJ's QB playing at all.

I think there is too many assumptions being made by many, the whole point of this 5 game exercize is to evaluate who if any of these QB's can get the job done, obviously Feeley is very much in the mix but I don't think anybody has won the job yet, nor has anybody taken a great lead.

I agree with every word.

i dont believe Saban has really said anything. Carefully he has answered questions to the media with out saying a single thing. He's smart.... he doesn't want to mention anything that may affect Feeleys confidence.

Who starts opening day will say go far into what Saban thinks of Feeley.

I dont hink that Saban would give a flying crap about AJ's confidence if he thought AJ was a scrub.

No it doesnt. He was the incumbent starter. Because of that- he automatically gets at least a shot at being the starter again. Give me a break it happens all the time.

Training camp and the preseason is where Saban gets to evaluate players. And that is what he is doing.

BULL! If Saban thought he couldn't play or wasn't a good fit for him he would be sitting down or gone! I don't believe Saban gave a rats behind what the depth chart was prior to him getting here!

its not about conceding a losing season... again like i said if the guys are close by the end, no matter which you start its gonna make a huge difference over the other... so if feeley looks just slightly better than frerotte, its not like playing frerotte means losing season and playing feeley means playoffs...

im saying if they are close, and frerotte has a slight lead, yes id play feeley over him because if they are close anyway its not going to make that much of a difference for this year, its not like one will make a losing season, one will make a winning season, im saying if they are close starting either isn't going to cause that much of a swing in the succes of the season... yet feeley has an upside and potential to be better so it might click in him and he could start playin ggreat, yet we know frerotte has hit his ceiling and will not improve or make any sudden leaps and bounds into greatness...

If I'm Nick Saban, and I think we have a chance to go to the playoffs this season, I want the best players playing at each position -- no matter how small their lead is over #2 on the depth chart.

If on the other hand, I'm resigned that I'm not going to get to the playoffs this year, I play the players I feel have the highest possible ceiling to see how far they develop.

I don't think I qualify as a bona fide hater, but I've read 4 pages and am amazed nobody has brought up the simple answer to your question: as flawed as AJ may be, the other qb's on the roster are not significantly better. There. That's The Answer.

Doesn't prove that AJ is qualified to be a legitimate NFL starter, just that we may not have one on the team. Just as some are illogical AJ haters no matter what, you seem to be drifting into the illogical AJ-can-do-no wrong camp. Don't know if you're just trying to drive home the point (because I normally find you to be one of the most reasonable posters), but would you concede that AJ could end up being the starter simply because he's the best of a fairly untalented group, none of which would start on most NFL teams? If Saban cut every qb in camp that he didn't feel had the potential to be a legitimate starting NFL qb, it could make for some very quiet qb meetings!
 
InFins... I totally agree with you . However, I truly believe that Saban will be bringing in a QB next year in some way or another. I think that he felt that this year there was no one out there that had better "pure skills" than Feeley and thus decided not to waste money or draft choices. However, next year there will be a couple of free agents (Rohan Davies coems to mind and played for Saban), situtations (San Diego) and or college players that may indeed fit his bill. Especially if Feeley does not progress that way he expects.

am i on the list, i dont think i am but i want to make sure. :)
 
Anyone who thinks that we will go the whole season with just one QB with this line is dead wrong. It matters not who will start, but who will be left standing at the end of the season!

that's their opinion and I'm leaning towards that but in the end, Saban knows best. This is why Saban brought Gus in. If AJ isn't his qb at least Gus will be a stop gap until Saban get's his future qb.

What's makes me wonder is that if Alex Smith was available, would Saban have drafted him and throw him into the mix to fight w/ AJ and Gus? Or did he really want Brown ? :confused:

We will never know the true answer to that question, because even if Alex Smith was his first choice Saban isn't going to Let Ronnie Brown know that now, it wouldn't serve a purpose, and Saban doesn't strike me as the type of guy that does things without a purpose.

My personal opinion? Alex Smith was number one on our board and would have been a Dolphin had he slid to #2.

Of course there is a logical answer and you get a cookie for being the first to say it but, I'm not trying to shoot down the logical people. It's the "AJ sucks" camp that I'm trying to scud.

I'm not in the AJ can do no wrong camp....he's got a lot to improve upon, I think he can do it but, I'm not going to sit here and guarantee anything. I agree that the QB talent on this team is below NFL par and AJ most certainly could end up as the default starter but again, the people this thread is aimed at are the ones who say AJ should be working on starters in a garage, not trying to be one on an NFL field. My point is, no matter how bad our collective talent may be, they are all NFL players and Saban thinks that AJ has a chance to be the best of the bunch.
