This is not a hate Feeley or anti-AJ thread. I like AJ Feeley and I have supported him for a long time. I am simply accepting reality and stating what I believe may be the best option for the Dolphins.
At this point in the season it is silly to debate whether Gus is as good as AJ. By most accounts, they seem to be at about the same playing level. That, in itself, is an indictment of AJ. We gave up a lot and, more importantly, we are paying him a lot to be our #1 QB. However, we are not paying any of the other QB's a lot of money.
Sage Rosenfels has paid his dues and deserves a shot to be our #2 QB. I have always felt like he has never been given a decent chance. With the Redskins, Sage did everything he was asked to do and showed a lot of promise. He has been very impressive in this preseason with a QB rating of 108. Yes, he did well against scrubs, but he is also playing with scrubs.
AJ may still have some trade value and I really think we should explore getting something for him, even if it's a second-day pick. I'd be satisfied with a 5th rounder to replace the pick we gave up for Wright.
The main thing is to end this experiment, let Gus run the offense until we can get a bona fide starting QB, give Sage his due, and clear some cap space, no matter how small. I just don't think AJ is worth the bucks we are paying him anymore.
