Frank was here!
Roethlisberger credits Maddox as one of the main reasons for his success. He said he helped him develop tremendously. Maybe he can do the same for Lemon or a QB Miami may draft.

You have to give Saban that.
We had offered for Gus to come back.
It was reported that he took things a little too hard and was a little bitter. Too bitter to come back here and turn down playing for what is obviously his favorite coach Linehan.

Trekbiz said:I still don't get how the Lemon fans get that this guy has a shot at anything. There is nothing in his past to show the guy is capable. He's been cut from teams in the past had an avg. college career and was a backup in NFLE of all places. Actually Berlin of NFLE didn't even have him as a backup, he was placed on their practice squad.
Everyone points to a few drives in preseason games as a tell all that the guy is a talent. Hasn't everyone seen enough preseason "stars" playing in games against low level talent to know this just isn't telling of how good a player will be?
IMO he was picked up by the phins as a long term project and I see no chance of this kid being our primary backup.
NYPhinFan said:That is my exact point. I am not a big Maddox fan..but he is a better option right now than Berlin or Lemon.
Mr772 said:We could turn this around and say "why not" as well. The fact is the guy hasn't played in any real games yet so there is no way anyone can say what he is or isn't.
i agree nublarNublar7 said:Hmm, I don't really like Maddox. Hopefully Saban and Mueller get him cheap and hopefully Daunte can play week one.
I hope we still draft a QB in like round 4.
rafael said:Sure it's your perogative, but without knowing any facts it sounds naive. Gus was clearly Saban's first option as a backup. They actually met to negotiate several times. For all you know, Saban was also willing to pay a premium. Maybe Gus wanted even more. Or maybe Gus just preferred to play with Linehan or didn't like the fans here treated his family like crap. Who knows. What we do know is that Saban first attempted to sign Gus as a backup.
