Only fair to give AJ the start

[MDFINFAN]

I watched the game today finally. Frerotte went 7/18 , half of those were at least 15+ yard passes. His long was 42 yards. First pass long to Chambers was perfect because he left it short for him to come back to and CC dropped it, 3 drops by McMike, 2 drops by Booker (the 1 lob looked like pass interference by Townsend), 1 drop by Morris, 1 intentional throw at Ricky's feet that was a good play because the screen was blown up, and 1 nice pass down the sideline in the 2nd qrt. that Chambers caught but couldn't get the second foot in. So that makes a total of 2 passes Frerotte threw that were truly bad.

The first fumble was not his fault, he never had time nor saw it coming, second one was.

Feeley was something like 16/20 with about 12 of those being dump offs in the flat. His long was 12 yards.

I failed to see why everyone has been crying so much about Frerotte since Friday. I think I know why, it's because they are looking at the paper stats and not what actually went on. There was a big difference between the Steelers #1 D that Gus saw and the #2's who were in by the time AJ got in there late in the 2nd.

This is the exact argument you could make in the Chicago game for AJ...Gus threw short passes and all that, In the Jag game..same thing..

LOL yet AJ gets sole blame for a fumble when he put the ball squarely in Minors chest and Minor in teh replays was clearly shown to have wrapped before the ball was square and took his eyes away from teh ball. Or AJ gets blamed in teh Chicago preseason game for teh Urlacjher hit because he didnt recognize a delayed blitz that wasnt even hinted at during the presnap read. Too Funny. Frerrotte didnt see teh hit coming so if that is your reason then it is true, BUT you fail to mention or criticize him for not recognize an all out blitz that was clearly shown during teh presnap read.

I swear the hypocrisy never ends.

Uh, you are using logic, which is teh equivalent to an unknown foreign language.

eddie4fins comments regarding AJ must be taken with a grain of salt (and a shot of tequila). He constantly refers to AJ as a 3rd string QB, NOT A 2ND, but a 3rd.

It's because some of us have looked at his career...he has NEVER been able to be the man...on any of his teams...why do you think that will change now...Look, his only success has been in short relief...when he has been given the starting job outright, he has proven he can't handle it...look it up...It's true...If Frerotte is our starter the season is over...

Feely sucks His days of starting have already came and passed I will be surprised if he starts another game in his NFL career

thanks so much. I saw the same thing, so have others. Feeley played vs 2nd string and all dumpoffs.

Im from western pa and so is Frerrote but the bottom line is AJ was impressive Frerrote was not. It see saws back and forth. I think AJ starts and the coaches evaluate this performance along with the rest in the preseason to form a starter for qb oh and oline and then they start them in final preseason game and on to the regular season. Bottom line is right now there is no way either qb has earned the job. So since Frerrote started last week against the Steel City and all the pain they bring opposing qbs we have to start Feeley

Well I am a Feeley supporter however I disagree.

I say since Frerotte has had more snaps with the 1st team he starts.

By doing this one of two outcomes will happen. It is a definite our QB controversy will be over after TB.

1ST- Frerotte plays solid and enters the season as our starting QB

2ND- Frerotte plays below average again for the 3rd straight week. After the game Saban decides to declare Feeley the starter for the last pre season game and he remains out starter come week one.

So it all depends on how Frerotte plays. Doesn't matter what Feeley does. To a certain extent that is.

frerotte should start because frerotte knows the offense. They are even. Some of you are week to week. Yes, One is better one week and the other is better the next week. They are about the same. Frerotte should start because he is comfortable at running this offense. Feeley may be better in a year or two, but we are talking about this year. I am not a supporter of either of them. I have continually said they are both backups in this league, but frerotte is better at this time, that's why he should start.

You better let Saban know that he's wasting his time...

Glad you were able to pull threw and read my comments and then post. Your family is greatful from saving them from the man that was holding the gun to your head to do it.

yeah, because in 5 seasons Feeley has done any damn different.

 

[R_t_Kraken]

Unless a miracle happens, and Gus completely flops against Tampa AND Feeley does unusually well, Frerotte will start for us for this year at least, so I think it's about time that the fans give Gus some support, he sure as heck will need it.

Yes I am sure you know all about presnap reads, bottom line is he did not have 1 second to get rid of the ball, I wasnt talking about Feeley at all I was commenting on Frerrotes play, you can decide what you think of Feeley I am not interested in him until he wins back the starting position you can argue with Saban about that.

same **** that happened to AJ after the first game, he had dropped passes, a blown up screen that he threw it into a linemans back (people said he had no pocket awareness from this play?), he got sacked after his arm was hit and he stepped up in the pocket yet it was his fault, then gus came in against 2nd stringers and had mostly dump offs and WR screens to boston, had a lucky play where a safety missed a sack then tossed up a dead duck that luckily chambers was able to get to around 3 defenders, then a ball slips out of his hands and ends up a TD and everyones excited cause his numbers looked better...

it goes both ways, people just look at stats, they dont care about the actual individual play...

On this thread I did not say 1 word about AJ, So have another shot! I will not say 1 more word about him until he plays with the first unit otherwise he is not worth talking about anymore. and Welcome to my ignore list.
