Good questions and well put. I think the big thing everyone seems to be forgeting here is the guys only played five games. He lost one of those. Those wins were all against losing teams. I think you could easily put together a highlight film of Jay from five games that would make him look good too. But he wasn't good enough.
The goal here is to get to that level where we contend for a title. Not just get better than Jay. The point about making defenses fear our passing game is particularly true. Will the defense go into their weekly meeting and go "WOW we have to look out for Feely this week!"?
I hope the guy is a Pro Bowler. But in a time when we needed a sure move they made about as big a gamble as you could make.
