I'm one for getting rid of Jay Fiedler sooner rather than later. In fact, I'd like to see the Phins jump on Philip Rivers if he is available at #20 (do not trade up to get him) and make it a Rivers/Feeley competition in camp. So, I was thinking...
One of the conditions in the AJ Feeley trade is that we surrender a 2nd rounder unless Feeley takes 80% of the snaps next year...then it becomes a 1st rounder. (There are other conditions.)
Do you think we are planning to start Fiedler the first quarter (or so) of the season next year and then turn the team over to Feeley later in order to prevent the 2nd round pick of becoming a first round pick in the '05 draft?
I understand that the objective is to win now and the better QB should win the competition. But, with Wanny's affection for Jay, do you think Spielman may be saying in his mind, "Go ahead Dave, start Jay at the beginning of the season. It's your neck on the line, not mine. Besides it will give me more ammunition in next year's draft."
Crafty thinking on the front office's part or not?
