Check this quote.....
See it?? Clear as day ini't?? Can't get no plainer than that, right?
What? You don't see it???
c'mon...it's right there in front of you...
Look at the end...last sentence....It all comes down to who can go out and execute in a game.....IN A GAME.
That no longer means that we are looking for who makes the least amount of mistakes in practice.
Saban's previous comments have lead people to believe that Feeley's poor practice play would get in the way of his retaining the starting job, without him actually saying that. This new stance leads people to believe that problem should no longer stand in AJ's way.
Frerottes' advantage of Feeley being a poor practice player is erased. Cleanly circumsized from the equation and Saban is the one that changed the "rules" to make it happen. Look how it says he's "concerned" about making a decision before either guy has played in a game, that's because he's knows that AJ is a gamer and he's not going to see his best play until the lights go on. He's heard all the same things about AJ that the rest of us have heard and now he's changing the criteria....Why?? Because he doesn't want to "make an evaluation that might not be fair to someone else"....Who could that "somone else" be? The guy with the rep as a bad practice player or the one without that rep??
Crystal clear.... he's leaning towards AJ.
:biggrin:
I feel so stupid for not seeing it. Thank you, InFins, for pointing out what should have been obvious. Whew, glad we finally put an end to any quarterback controversey!
