Is AJ that bad?

wazzy said:
Ok he had the cards stacked against him but if he can't beat out Gus in practise then I don't think he should be leading the team and also its his year to prove the NFL wrong so if he gets the nod and chokes no more excuses for him no more nothing.

Just to note im not an AJ Feely hater I just think its time for him to prove his worth or move out of the way of the building of a dynasty

The problem with your opinon is everytime AJ gets a shot, the coaches he's playing for have a personal favorite ahead of him, is that AJ's fault??? I don't think so.

5.32 yards per attempt is plain lousy. I've charted that stat since '87 and it's very rare for a QB to compile a number like that at Feeley's age and then turn into something special. I remember Jim Harbaugh put together one or two numbers in the very high 7s for the Colts after poor stats a few years earlier in his career. A few other examples when a QB has switched to a much better team, but generally when you earn a number like that it's on merit, i.e. lack of accuracy, overly dependent on short passes, not enough variety of throws and general lack of ability.

Bud Goode's so-called Killer Stat is net yards per pass attempt offensively compared to what you allow in the same category defensively. We were very close to the bottom of the league last year at -.8, even though our defensive YPPA was very good, in the top 6 or 8 of the league.

I know fans generally prefer subjective judgements to stats, but these are facts:

* The team with the higher yards per pass attempt in a given game wins 80% of the time

* The team with the most rushing attempts wins 85% of the time

We need to remember numbers like that when someone proposes the short passing game as a solution. Clearly, it violates both high percentage criteria. You diminish yards per attempt, and pretend a short pass is merely a clever substitute for a rushing attempt. Ignorant rationale and suicidal.

What were Fiedlers #'s last year?? He's been with the fins five years and he flat out stunk. I'd say AJ's #'s had more to do with all the crap last year then his talent level.

Do you really think Saban is going to put in whoever his favorite is even though the other is playing better? That may be true with Wanny's era but it wasn't when Aj was an eagle and when Bates took over.

If you really think Manning or Brady would have not had a better season than AJ, you are really missing something. I understand you like the guy or whatever, but the two you mentioned are two of the very best at knowing where to go with the ball when blitzed. They make the D pay for blitzing. AJ just threw picks for scores. Fine give him another half year or so to get it down and then we can get rid of him, but he is not going to be the guy. It is not like he is 22, and we can give him time to get better, he is not THAT much younger than Gus. We know Gus is better, with more upside. Either give it to Gus or lets just go get someone else.

I think your missing something if you think QB was the only problem or the major problem last year.
Brady and Manning might have had a better year, but not much. I'll let you in on a little secret, Brady would be avg. anywhere else but NE.

I think Saban will give Linehan a shot at the O until he proves he can't mke things work. That being said who does Linehan have more working knowledge of?? Once again is that AJ's fault??? I don't think so.

Linehan will put in whoever plays his system better. It's not a matter of favorites. Is it fair for feeley? You should ask "what's fair for loyal finfans".

How do you know what Linehan will do, I see where your shallow mind is going though. You want to establish Gus as the better QB, so you can use your OPINION that AJ isn't a starting QB. You have no idea how Linehan will choose his starting QB, but it's common practice throughout the NFL for coaches to choose players they are more comfortable with over another player no matter the talent levels. It's the way it is, Linehan IMO is on a short leash, until he proves to Saban he can handle the O. In doing so Linehan is more likely to play Gus over AJ simply because he has more knowledge of the O. I doesn't help AJ that he's a far better in-game QB then a practice one.
 
You have to believe that AJ will be the starter heading into training camp, preseason and the regular season. Gus was brought in as a backup that can light a fire under Feeleys ***. The fact that he knows the system is why we picked him up as a backup, to teach Feeley and to light a fire under his ***
 
Aj Feeley belongs in the arena football league or NFL europe. Let s see him there and than if he does well we take him the guy IMO doesnt belong in the NFL esp to our Beloved Miami Dolphins

Is it shallow to think that your coaches will start whoever plays best at their position? You just love to contradict yourself don't you. Make up your mind. First you talk like your coaches are all that and then imply that they are stupid enough to start their favorites at the risk of the team.

I don't care whether Feeley or Gus starts. I think they both stink.

I know. Feeley making it to the probowl this year and actually playing is the funniest thing.

Fiedlers YPA were a full yard more than AJ's and the team was playing much mich worse when Jay was there.

It wasn't a comeback, it was an opinion to a funny joke.
