Merged: PLEASE put Jay Fiedler back into the starting line-up!!!

[Emskirch]

How about step up around the rush??? How about running somewhere other than 10 yards backward??? These are things an experienced quarterback would have done.

AJ is not experienced, to get experience, you need playing time.

If A.J. Feeley is the FUTURE of this team for more than the next 14 games then I think we might be in for a long decade.

Hasn't the last 4 years been long?

A.J. has a better arm to throw the deep pass!!! How many passes has he completed for more than 20 yards in the air???

Has he had time to hand the ball off?

A.J. is going to become a great quarterback!!! You must be watching a different game than I am because I havent seen anything that points to that happening..

I don't know whether or not this Kid will be great, but I know he deserves a shot to try.

Jay isnt the best QB in the league or even close for that matter but I would have put him under center way before I put A.J.

For what? What has Jay done? 4 years, an 1800 yard rusher and a decent Oline and Jay has won what?

We have lost 2 games because he doesnt know the offense.

Growing pains, I hate to go back and see how many games in 4 years that we lost because of Jay.

At least with 4 years of experience Jay would know the route to throw.

Is that a fact? Why in his career then does Jay have 61 TD's and 60 INTs if he knows the routes to throw?

I think we all know im a big Jay guy.
But, i give A.J. one more chance against the Steelers.
If he plays relatively well(60% completion/250yards+/2tds+1int or none)and doesnt throw a pick returned for a TD(win or lose) i keep him in for at least the next game.
But, if he plays like he has the last 2 weeks then its time to welcome Jay back with open arms.
:yes:

Saying AJ needs experience is saying you are giving up on this season....

Screw that! I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. I've been waiting for since winter for Miami football and I'm not ready to just say wait till next year!

To hell with Fiedler. He's had his chance. I'd rather go 0-16 with a kid who can become our QB of the future. Let's be honest guys...Fiedler is nothing more than a patchwork QB at best. The defense won most of those games for him. Wannstedt is right to keep Feeley in. If he puts Fiedler in, we know the same old results.
