I agree he isn't our next Dan Marino, no one will ever be...But I don't remember anyone complaining about Gus when he was having success. Only when he had failure. I say give Gus a break, bring in a vet to COMPETE for the starting job, and draft a future QB. If a QB is all we need to get to a Super Bowl, we would have made the playoffs last year without one. think about it.
Woodley's flaws were also exposed in one of the worst performances by a QB in Super Bowl history, which is why Shula didn't hesitate in drafting Marino when he was still on the board. I don't know about you, but I don't just want to go to a Super Bowl. I want to win it.
But to reference your last sentence "If a QB is all we need to get to a Super Bowl, we would have made the playoffs last year without one", think about this- If we do manage to upgrade other positions to the point where we would be a legitimate SB contender, which isn't impossible in one off-season, would you really want someone like an inconsistant Frerotte manning the position when the stakes are the highest?
