hopefully we'll land Rivers or someone to be the 3rd stringer and then groom then next year to take over after that....

If Feeley, we've got our QB of the future. If Fiedler we'll go thru the same QB mess next offseason.

I wouldn't classify it so much as 'loyalty' as in that some of us just LOVE fiedler to death, cuz we all know his position needs to be upgraded. The only thing I'm tired of is people screaming to cut off his head, when I haven't had one person show me how he lost more games then our over-rated and over-paid defense has (which took up 2/3 of our cap....what is it someone's tage line was....35 mill for Defense.....15 mill for offense....you get what you pay for). Well, I expect that where my money is going to produce and be consistent rather then when the Defense isn't....blaming the underpaid, undertalented offense (which is consistently average or below avg. like last year).
Is he the best, hell no, would I like to see his position upgraded....hell yes....but is he the 'cancer' that has been killing us, the person who to rest all our failures and losses on, the one who so many vehmently hate and deserves all the ridicule from all us fans (when he has the respect of his teammates and coaches)? I don't think so, so I kind of stick up for him a bit here and meanwhile hope that we actually get someone who is better then him while maybe pointing out to those who blindly see (to a degree) Fiedler as the anti-christ of the dolphins....that he isn't and we have many problems that can be fixed to get us over the edge and that getting a $10-$15mill/year QB may not be the best solution considering that would require many more cuts on our Defense.
