Where do ya see the Potential in AJ??

personally I am not too enamored with Feeley yet and i really am not to happy with the prospect of having G frerotten. if anybody on the roster should get the shot I would rather see Rosenfels before i see Gus play. otherwise If feeley cant do the job let Sage run with it or get someone who can. Because gus is just to freaking old and slow.

At least he can step into the pocket and throw.

Who is that Gus? All you have seen from him are practices so far with a O-line with question marks on it. Where he isnt even touched. Personally I would go with a younger guy with some arm strenth. And personally I am not all that sure about Aj.

Not that it matters, but I posted a clip of him from last year. Obviously a different team and different reciever but it doesn't hurt to have something positive about one of OUR players.

Ok then how about Ricky not testing positive for drugs or not retiring again. That is positive enough for me.:goof:

:D

If only I had my crystal ball about that one. I really hope that he doesn't test positive again. If what he says is true about his holistic medicine, probably he won't test positive. Now the retirement part.... Ricky has a mind of his own.
 
From the reports I have read so far regarding training camp, Feeley has outplayed Frerotte 3 days to 2 (1 actually since Feeley was absent day 4). Granted, that from the reports neither one seemed to be doing all that well and it seems that Feeley won the competition due more to Frerotte playing poorly than AJ playing well. Nonetheless I find it interesting that Feeley seems to be outplaying Frerotte in the first five days of camp considering that he is learning a new system and Frerotte knows it like the back of his hand. Anyone else read the reports the same way and anyone else find this situation interesting either in a good way or bad

I've been looking really really hard for potential and I can't find it. He's been in this league for a long time (5th season now right?) and he's still making basic mistakes like locking on to the reciever, holding on the ball and generally being inconsistent in the throws. I'm just not sure what the talent some people talk about is.

As for the people wanting to give him a chance purely because we paid a 2nd rounder, I honestly wish you guys played poker. In poker, one of the most important skills is cutting your losses. People who don't know how to cut their losses feed the good poker players. AJ is a bad hand, and we already lost a 2nd rounder, do you really want to lose another one? Lay down the hand, let Frerotte play and get a new QB next year. (Oh and for all you people wanting to play AJ, I'm usually found in Poker.com, I'd love to play with you =).

Just wondering. What Qb do you think could have done that much better last year behind Miami's line?

Why do you not at least consider how many things went wrong? No OC, a RB who was running routes of his previous team because he was just traded for. No running game at all.

YPC for the AJ first starts.

Game 2 1.3 YPC 20 for 25.
Game 3 1.8 YPC 29 for 52

Yeap, those type numbers are going to slow down the pass rushers & give a QB time to find a reciever.

His OL blocking was possiblity the worse in NFL history. The man was getting hit by unblocked rushers before he even got to his drop.

I think AJ vastly improved once Wanny got the heck out of dodge. Sure the inexperienced showed up from time to time, but you are going to get that with any young QB.

I think most are selling AJ shot & basing their knee jerk reactions to him based on last year. AJ did not get the practice reps, did not have the running game, did not have a OC, did not have the confidence of the coach.
Miami's offense was a mess soley because no one knew what the heck was going on. Yet you guys expect AJ to overcome this. Maybe a young Marino could, but I think we already know AJ is not Marino.

I think AJ will look totally different this year. I look for him to make strides towards being a quality QB.

The fact is that NO QB in this league would have had success in this offense
QB's succeed when they are well coached (he wasn't), have a good offensive coordinator (he didn't) and have some decent talent around them (he didn't).
You get into arguments like this because you make premature and outlandish comments.
No one is drooling over Feeley. Most people, however, are fair minded and recognize that the problems with the QB position last year went way beyond Feeley.

Thank you.

That's not even remotely a fact, that's pretty far from it actually. Everyone was calling Fiedler horrible, but once AJ stepped into the same offense, people started blaming the offense and not the player.

BS, you know JF has been most Miami's fan punching bag since he arrived.
No matter what he did, Miami fans were not gonna like him. He simply was not Marino & Miami fans had a hard time understand that.

touborg said:
I'll tell you a fact though: AJ, allthough having years of experience, is still making rookie mistakes that no starting material should be making at that age. He holds the ball, he locks on and he continues to make bad calls and throws inconsistently. I agree he was coached poorly, but so was Fiedler, and no one ever gave him a break.

Years of experience? Did not know you learned from playing behind someone and not getting on the field. The things you brought up are what someone who lacks game experience will do. AJ lacks that.

That line of thinking would have made the Seahawks give up on Hasselbech. Until I see AJ for one full year under a REAL offensive system, I'm not going to make a judgment. He could very be working at Denny's by this time next year. I've seen some things I really like (strong arm, hitting receivers on the run allowing them to get YAC, something Ears NEVER did, toughness, fire) and some things I hate (picks, picks for 6, and more picks). Those are mental mistakes, that with repetition he should be able to eliminate. And if he can't, well then, "AJ, I'd like my eggs scrambled with that Lumberjack Slam."

Agree. People will use Hasselbeck as an example of how well a backup can play, but more have forgotten he was bench his first year in Seatte for poor play.

so i guess AJ has played in a garbage team all his life except high school huh?

Soundbite. What do you mean garbage team?

I remember seeing Hasselbech all the way back when he was in Green Bay. In the preseason he was perfect. He played extremely well, granted it was the preseason, but Feeley has NEVER even come remotely close to looking that good..

If you can remember how AJ played in the preseason games then please tell us.
