I am so tired of people saying how bad of a QB Gus is. He might not have won games single handed but he also wasnt resposible for loosing the game single handed either. He was very smart with the football for the most part and has good pocket presence. I was so sick of watching our QB's throw interceptions that were run back for TD's that Gus was nice to watch. I wasnt afraid he was gonna be picked everytime he had the ball. Show some respect people. He might not be the best QB but he did a great job for us regardless of what the stats say.
 
Gus is alright he can win some games but i dont think he can take us to the SB. but yeah the guy deserves respect

He has mine. Hell, I respected Jay Fiedler...he made me pull my hair and scream a lot but I had to respect his tuffness.
 
the only QB in the Past 6 years i didnt respect was Lucas and sometimes Feeley
 
I respect Frerotte as a person and player. Im sure he was trying his hardest. That doesnt mean I like his play at all.
 
it's pretty clear that he makes great decisions and avoids pressure very well. just isn't accurate...
 
gus does deserve some resprect he played good last year not great but hey we went 4-12 the year before and were on sportscenter every week showing a int going the other way i hated feeley.....

11-29 for 125 yds. 37.9% comp! 0 tds, 1 int.. 37.3 rating.

16-28 for 168 yds. 57.1% comp. 1 td, 1 int. 71.7 rating.

4-18 for 58 yds. 22.2% comp. 0tds, 0 ints.. 39.6 rating.

12-28 for 115 yds. 42.9% comp. 0 tds, 0 ints, 54.9 rating.

8 for 16 for 76 yards. 50% comp. 1 td, 1 int. 58.3 rating.

14-30 for 151 yds. 46.7% comp. 2 tds, 1 int.. 70.3 rating.

Those are eleven out of Gus's 16 games. Eleven bad, bad games.

I can't believe the number of people complaining that Gus doesn't get respect. You might as well say the Feeley doesn't get enough respect.

There is nothing wrong with being a fan that is realistic about performances, it doesn't make you any less a fan. If you don't want to hear it, cover your ears.

Every thread about Gus is the same thing. People pointing out that Gus was not good and using facts and proof to support their opinion... and people saying that Gus was ok and neither offering any proof or refuting the proof being offered them.

It is absolutely fine if you want to be a Gus fan. I have had favorite players that were not good, I just liked them. Nothing wrong with that.

But to complain about people who are seeing the situation clearly is silly.
 
ill rather have gus than bulgar or culppeper as our qb's cuz we would give up to much for them

Regardless that we had Feeley. He was not the only Qb we had last year that lost games. If I remember right it was Jay that had a good portion of the snaps last year until Wanny left. Then feeley won against the pats.
 
Gus is very average. He does the best he can though, and is still one of the best backup QBs you can ever ask for.

Stellar pocket presense though.
 
Where was the respect for the rest of the team when Saban and Frerotte both came up with every excuse in the book and blamed other areas of the team rather then Gus or himself for his poor play?
 
Frerotte is simply what he is.

An average QB to below average QB.

U really can't fault someone for being what they are. He did almost what I expected him too this season.

I will just not blindly say he had a good season cause he didn't in any way shape or form.

Just because I feel he had a lousy season anyway doesn't mean I don't respect the guy.

To me his play for about 80% of the season was on par with Reggie Howard. But yet he gets dogged all the time yet I hear no one standing up and defending the respect card with him
