Sage Should Be #2

Schmiggs said:
I don't see AJ "Touchy" Feeley ever panning out to be a worthwhile starter in the NFL. He's got the arm, but doesn't have the pocket awareness nor the ability to not stare down his intended receiver. Because of that he's going to be a pick machine for the rest of his career.

And that's just what I was talking about above -- in the WCO, the play dictates what the QB does most of the time. There's a three- or five-step drop, and the QB throws to a spot where a receiver is at that point. There isn't as much need for pocket awareness or looking off defenders because the plays in the WCO happen "on a timer" so to speak.

THAT's where Feeley has looked good, and mind you he had a team full of players carrying him to stay alive in the playoff race, and he still didn't look THAT good. I think we're seeing the real Feeley here. At best he's a #2 in a WCO.
 
IMO, Feeley was a "wanny pick", Meaning it doesn't worth a Horses**t.
Saban brought Berlin in. Sage is getting some playing time in PS and is proving us he worth a shot ! I think the QB revolution is in process in Miami, Just be patient folks, Saban never told us we would win the big Game within ONE season, but within 2 or 3... I don't know... Life is like a box of chocolates...

Fred'83, only French Finfan on this board, and proud of it !
 
man, that second round pick hurts sooooo bad now. I agree that cutting him is a strong possibility. Ive got a question for everyone, those that know what number we would have drafted with that second rounder, who do you think Sabab would have gone after?
 
Feeley was no dynamo even in Reid's WCO.

He threw 5 TDs and 5 INTs as a starter, with a rating of about 72. He also lost to the only playoff team he faced.
 
I don't think Sage is a capable backup, but I don't think that AJ is either. I think both of them are destined for eternal clipboard status.

If Feeley isn't any better than Sage (and he's never shown he is), Sage should be the #2 QB on the depth chart. Feeley is 28 and Sage is 26. We also save just over 500K by cutting Feeley this year, which I think is becoming a distinct possibility.

What we SHOULD do is start the season with Frerotte at QB and see how well we do over the first 6 or 8 games. If we're out of the race then start Sage and see how he does the rest of the season. Then we'll know how badly we need a starting QB next year.

If Sage does well, we have our starting QB. If he doesn't do well enough, then we have a 26-year-old, good #2 QB who makes peanuts, and we can draft or sign a starter.

First off, we lose $1.1 mil in cap space if we cut AJ...second what exactly has Sage done either ?? This is the guy who couldn't beat out Ears ?? You people who jump off the Feeley bandwagon because of a blog from some reporter are ridiculous...Sage is NOT starting material...As to whether AJ is not is yet to be determined...he has at least shown more than Sage...
Starting Ferrotte is a sure-fire admission that the season will be a failure...IMO...
 
Taking the good with the bad.........

Yep, cut him. He's the last tie to the previous regime, and it would be ridding ourselves of the last bit of bad karma served up by Wanny and Spielman.

He shouldn't be that stressed about it, after all, he's dating Heather Mitts! :D

We lose just over 500K if he's cut after 6/1.

Sage hasn't done anything either, and that's why I'm saying he should be the number TWO. I'm not saying he's Dan Marino reincarnate. You don't pay a 28-year-old guy millions of dollars to be a backup QB. You go with the 26-year-old (Sage) who's just as good and is making peanuts.

Personally i believe that Sage is outplaying Feeley. I dont know how you can argue that. Even if it is against different team players.

No-one is talking about starting. We're talking about Feeley sinking. And that my Feeley supporter is just the reality of the situation.
 
man, its sure is sad when we have a second string QB starting and our former starter is battling for the 2nd spot with a career #3 who is not to far ahead of the 4th string rookie.

wow
 
Sage has never done anything to prove himself to be anything other then a 3rd string quarterback. None of the other teams were interested in him either when he shopped around this offseason. Now you want to make him our #2? No way.

With that said, I think Feeley is a huge disapointment and Ferrorte is a weak replacement. basically we're screwed until we get someone new. I'd be curious to see if we can't work with Berlin and see what he's got, atleast the guy shows potential.
