Official: Feeley sucks.

[FIN-IN-RI]

BTW anyone trying to convice me otherwise about AJ Feeley is just wasting their time because I know the game of football and I know a good QB when I see one.

I'm generally an open minded person but when I'm right, I'm right.

:ri:

wow, I am trying to figure out what game you guys watched that I didnt. First, AJ was up against a good defense that decided to bring the house and our line show improvements need are there but we still have some way to go. AJ was not locking on, I think what you guys saw was him going to first reads cause he had no time. How do you look off a 3 yard hitch?? Aj didnt have the chance to go deep, and he had a few drops that were uncalled for. Gus played well but it was against the second team defense. My last point, Where on earth do you guys think Berlin looked good. NO ARM STRENGTH!! Also, all those complaining of locking on, hmm did you see Berlin. He threw to his comfort side 4 plays in a row never looking right. Hell, he threw the same route twice, the last one being intercepted. There is no excuse for that last throw either. we are in feild goal range down by 3, yes you take your shots at the endzone but not into double coverage!! Protect the ball dummy! Here is my ranking of the QB's (from someone who played the position).

1. Gus (he moved the ball even vs. 2nd string, lets see what he does vs jax.)
2. AJ (didnt get us in trouble and made really good throws).
3. Sage (will never be a good qb in the NFL)
4. Berlin (cut him now!! Horrible to throw a pick into the endzone in double coverage and be locked on that reciever).

Maybe Saban and crew didn't get the telegraph from the Bears that they were going to blitz the Fins every other play.....

The offensive line did a fair job of picking up those blitzes. Not great but it was much improved from last year.

 

[Timmy54]

Man the clear bias in here is sickening...

AJ performed worst of all our QBs? Come on! Did you see Berlin's INT to end the game!? By God.. Are you all even taking into account the other QBs were playing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Strings?

The QBs were as follows:
-Frerotte
-Feeley
-Rosenfels
-Berlin

To say anything else is clearly MORONIC.. And thats a fact.

Feeley did not SUCK in any sense.. He had some nice throws, and had a nice drive going til Thompson dropped a beautiful pass. And btw, he didnt leave because of the injury, he left because his time was up.

thank god someone watched the same game I did.

This is my 1st post but I have been around this site for several months and I felt that I had to respond to this thread. I HATE AJ :fire: more then anybody on this site BUT I must say that last night he didn't perform that bad. He has some real bad habbits that he need to over come that will get him into a lot of trouble during the year. BUT last night it didn't hurt him that bad. Gus will get the go ahead for week 1. and there further Unless AJ gets some cool water from Tom Brady (did I just give credit to a minutewoman?) and stop locking his eyes on his WR. AJ sucks but he will make a great 3rd Qb project for some team. To bad we need a starter and right now we have 3 3rd string Qb's on our roster:shakeno: . This could be a looooooonnnnnggggg season:baghead:

Frerrote may not play well in the second game but it doesn't matter because I'm not pro-Frerotte although I'd much rather see a calm/fluid Frerotte than a stoic AJ Feeley.. I just know a good QB when I see one and AJ Feeley is not a good QB. If he turns out to be the next Farve then I'll eat my words.

I gave AJ the benefit of the doubt last season. I don't care that this is the first pre-season game - the man doesn't buy time for his receivers, period. When his primary is open AJ is golden, if not then he's screwed. He doesn't scan the field, he doesn't avoid rushers. Some people don't understand that not every blitzer will be picked up at the exact perfect point all of the time - it takes work by the QB sometimes, to avoid a rush and think quick. You see a guy comming in get rid of the ball, you have check downs - use them.

Familiarity of the offense? Bleh.. if you want to take that into consideration that's fine but what he showed me on the field yesterday and last year had nothing to do with playbook familiarity, it had to do with lack of instincts/fluidity.

Except for Hadnot, the O line looks exactly the same as last year - porous and no protection for any of the QB's..........:mad:

Looks like Ferotte, Berlin, Sage and AJ.......Berlin did very well, they could have gone for the field goal instead of the same play that worked the first time, lets' face it, the Bears responded to every successful play we had.......:mad:

I really have no desire to get into detail or provide examples, someone else will though, I'm sure. I know what I saw when I watched the game last night and I know what I saw when I watched the games last year..

Ok, you can't

Anyone can hope and pray that AJ Feeley will somehow morph into a fluid passer who doesn't lock on to his primary target all the time, but again, I Know Saban won't wait so it's moot. Keep hope alive boys, It's all you've got.

You are knocking AJ, when Gus is doing the very samething & he has many years of experience on his side. Biased are we?

IMO if you take into account Gus experience & experience with the offense then he was far worse than AJ.

 

[Todd347347]

Feeley is the classic QB that I think can perform if given the time he needs. Wait till he actually gets some time in the pocket to say he sucks.

This is the NFL, just when do you think he is going to have alot of time? Aren't the good quarterbacks the ones that make something happen when things are tough? Can't all NFL quarterbacks make plays when they have alot of time? Don't you want a quarterback they can play under pressure not when things are perfect?

 

[Todd347347]

I don't want to call people names, but I still am totally shocked anyone can defend AJ, it just completely baffles me.

:yeahthat:


Feeley could create his own time by not having cement blocks for legs. A simple side step, before that sack, and Urlacher would have been on his face.

It was tough to watch clips of Marino and Young all night. They could really move out of an LB's way, and make a play!

 

[korl68]

And Wes Welker is actually bigger than RW.

Seriously though.. Feeley looks like a skinny immobile rock in the pocket. He locks down on his recievers and doesn't check down often enough..

Memo to AJ Feeley: STEP UP IN THE POCKET. You can try a sidestep or two if you want to be brave.

Random thought of the day: AJ Feeley needs an cement butt implant and hightops.

I now this is only the first preseason game guys and it IS August but still, I didn't see one shade of improvement (IN AJ) from last year.

:ri:

I agree 100% with your statement!!!

Since we did not draft a QB. I was holding out hope in AJ but he just does not get it. Part of a QB's job is to avoid the rush. A mobile QB can make an O-line look alot better just like a great RB can. Feeley has a strong arm and an stronger head (like rock). There are alot of intangibles that make a qb good having a strong arm is just one of them.

Well it will be interesting to see who we try to get for qb next year.

 

[byroan]

THere was no where for Feeley to go on the Urlacher play because he held onto the ball too long.

Would you rather him throw the ball and get intercepted?

 

[Finland]

Did you see improvement from his o-line? What did you want him to do? They didnt go deep with him and he didnt throw an INT. He really did as well as he couldve. Its early, relax.

Improve the line or change the QB, Miami is not the place for this kind of play. The fans have been groomed to want some pass potential and we don't have any as long as that Oline /QB tandem is running. Fix the line or change the QB. I say change the QB. Get a damn franchise QB for Pete sakes, it has been 6 years already. We should have had a QB project in 1998. Gus looked better, hopefully Feeley shines next outing.

I agree... It's too bad we aren't going to suck enough this year to get Lienhart!!! If he'd have gone up for the draft last year, we would have either had him, or Alex Smith this year.... Damn it Matt!!
