McMichael seems to be supporting Gus

I know I picked up McMichael for my fantasy team since TE seem to do well in Linehans offense. Read in a couple of places that if Gus gets the QB spot McMichael could be worth his weight in gold.

Gus knows how to run an offense. He did it with Minny almost every single time Daunte went down. I am hoping he starts this season but am still rootin' for AJ to be our guy in the future.

I think he would like some consistency on the offense.

Sounds good to me.

I dunno.... the tone he used seems to me to he's leaning toward wanting Gus to start. Whenever he talks about Frerotte, he calls him "Gus", but he calls AJ "AJ Feeley". Seems like he's just a bit more personal with Frerotte...then again, maybe he just has a tough time pronouncing "Frerotte"
He also said that Gus would be starting Sept 11 unless something big happened. To me it really sounds like McMichael favors Gus over AJ.

I wonder if this type of thing plays into Saban's decision? Obviously the players need to have some confidence in the guy who starts. It can't just be the coaches.
