Poor AJ Feeley, Cant even open a Maxim Magazine without getting dissed...

[SkapePhin]

They may have had the same people around, but they didn't have the same players. The OL was definately playing better at the end of the year than at the beginning. The team overall was responding to the scheme changes Bates made. AJ had a better record b/c he had a better team around him. In no way did he prove he was better than Fiedler. Not that Fiedler was great. In fact AJ had a very low hurdle to clear, he just didn't do it.

Wasnt Fiedler's marvelous scrambling ability supposed to make a crappy OL a nonissue?? Oh.. I guess not..

While the OL did improve, thus giving Feeley more time since he isnt much for scrambling, that improvement would not have had a significant impact on Fiedler's game..
Fiedler cannot throw. Feeley can. End of story..

I wonder what the 1989 version of Madden would have said about Troy Aikman first year. 1-15?


Gotta playstation All-Americans.......:shakeno:

The OL always makes a difference and always has a significant impact on any QBs game. A scrambling QB can help lessen the burden on the OL but its' not like Vick doesn't need a line.

The most important characteristics for a QB are decision making and accuracy. Arm strength is far down the list in importance. That story of yours is a fable.

I can't wait until a few months from now when the Feeley debate is finally settled once and for all.

What a joke. Feeley huggers have sunken to a new level.

Just because MIAMI beat Cleveland and SF, while Feeley was at QB- doesnt make him better than Fiedler. I would not be afraid to bet any amount of money that they would have still won if Fiedler were at QB. Heck, I wouldnt be afraid to bet even if Brock Berlin were at QB during those games.

Feeley gets critisized because he has the lowest QB rating in the NFL. He gets critisized because he threw more INTs for TD than any other QB in one season. He gets critisized because he doesnt know what the hell he is doing out there.

Hes a backup QB, just like Fiedler. And after this season they will both be former Miami QBs.

PS... The only way you will get to see your 'golden boy' AJ Feeley play this year is if Frerotte gets hurt. He will be riding the pine the whole season. Believe that.

 

[tay0365]

He was the worst QB last year...

I know there were a lot of circumstances that may have dropped hims numbers.. But if you look at the list of QB ratings, he was at the bottom. Below Krenzel, Dorsey, and other horrible QB's


He will probably improve in real life and madden if the running game comes through...

I just don't know that Feeley has a very high ceiling of improvment.

How do you know how high AJ's ceiling is? Joe Montana did not exactly have the most physical tools in the world, but he did pretty good for himself (Before anyone jumps on this...NO!! in no way am i comparing Montana to AJ)

To be fair, your starting QB could end up being worse the AJ. Losman did not exactly light the NFL on fire last year when given a chance to show what he could do. Lets all wait and see how AJ does with an improved O-line (Even if it is only slightly improved), a running game, and an O-coordinator that knows what he is doing.

Jnaledu3, I'm no "feeley hugger", but he is on OUR team. I'm hoping he performs well, Ferotte & Sage as well. Believe that. Your bitterness is aparent. It pisses me off a little. If it wasn't meant that way I apologize. But while he's on our team, and more than likely our STARTING qb, I think we should hope he's the greatest thing ever...

cmon guys, this isnt a ricky situation. aj never wronged us. do you guys who are against aj becoming the future, or at least a qb we can win with, realize how far back drafting a qb high overall will set us in the rebuilding process. qb's dont just pop outta the womb and lead us to super bowls. your talking 3 years at least, which would put us in the 2008 or 9 season...

 

[DDTDON]

Unfortunately not.. But they did have a page of that Venezulan chick with the amazing rearend!

Her name is vida guerra and she does have a great @$$. :cooldude:

 

[GRYPHONK]

LAST YEAR.. With the same players, same team.. Feeley had a better record.. Care to dispute that?

Sure I will dispute that. I am one of the biggest Feeley supporters here.

Who had the better winning record under Wanny? Fiedler
Who didn't start a game under Bater? Fiedler

You cannot compare the 2 since they had 2 different offensive philosophies.

One could argue that under more constricted and a worse scheme and coach Fiedler had the better winning percentage then Feeley. So with a worse team and coaching Fiedler was better.

Care to dispute that?

LOL your post is ridiulous.

By your logic Fiedler would have been a pro Bowl in TB. I mean he clearly outplayed Griese. Griese was a stud in TB, so Fiedler would have brung TB to the promised land last year huh? Why not? Fiedler played better with the same talent when Griese was here.

Ouch makes your logic look kinda pathetic doesn't it.

That means also that Frerotte should have stayed with the Vikings and Culpepper should have been traded or cut. I mean his winning percentage with the same players were better, his statistical average with the same players were better.

Pathetic:sleep:

NO!! That's WAYYY too logical for all the Feeley-haters on this message board!!:shakeno:

 

[Justasportsfan]

I am sure that even Manning himself would of been one of the worst QB's if he played in our system last year. Our offense has improved alot since our OL and running game have improved.

I'm not sure about that. Under the same circumstances Feeley was last year, Flutie made the probowl and the bills made wildcard. Imagine that, an old weak armed midget makes Moulds catch for over 1500 yards. Feeley had Chambers . Sammy Morris was our Rb too.

As far as I know nobody hates AJ. There are just those of us who have analyzed his play and believe he lacks the requisite mental ability to be a SB winning QB. Sure, having AJ become the next Marino is better than having to draft one, but just b/c I want that to happen, it doesn't make it so.

How do you know how high AJ's ceiling is? Joe Montana did not exactly have the most physical tools in the world, but he did pretty good for himself (Before anyone jumps on this...NO!! in no way am i comparing Montana to AJ)

To be fair, your starting QB could end up being worse the AJ. Losman did not exactly light the NFL on fire last year when given a chance to show what he could do. Lets all wait and see how AJ does with an improved O-line (Even if it is only slightly improved), a running game, and an O-coordinator that knows what he is doing.

Well, i'm pretty sure i said I don't know that his ceiling is that high... it could be, but I doubt it. Why? Because the guy has been in the league for 5 years and has yet to show it. I could have QB'd the eagles as well as he did. And AJ's problem isn't his physical tools, he throws a decent ball, na dhe's reasonably mobile.


Now... Who even said anything about Losman aside from you? I do find it funny that you said he didn't do well "when given the chance to show what he could do". Given the chance??? If you consider mop up duty against the world champs on Sunday night down by a ton in the 4th quarter in his first action since coming back from injury his rookie season as a chance you don't know very much.

AJ has had a chance to show what he can do, losman hasn't.

Fiedler cannot throw. Feeley can. End of story..

Has an arm Feeley does. Have an intelligent football QB mind he does not. Gone after this year he will be. The days of crap 2nd and 3rd stringers trying to be starters done they will be.
