I heard on NFL Live that Saban is thinking of rotating QBs in and out during the game. AJ and Gus are going to be the two. What the hell is going on here? That is the dumbest yet funniest idea I've ever heard. :-D
He and Paterno must be close.
didnt someone else try that, about 5 or 6 years ago maybe longer?
i almost want to say it was the giants with reeves or something.
That's just great. Maybe they could swap the O-Line and D-Line once in a while, too. Just for a change of pace, you know.
The punter will get his fair share of work back there too, I'm sure.
If they sign Davey, maybe they can rotate 3.
They need to trade for a left handed closer if they're going to make a world series run this year.
Twice the suck.
God, I wish the Eagles were playing the Mammals this year.
Talk about an easy win. :P
PS: You'd think professional teams would have learned after all the boneheaded hirings of college coaches lately (Spurrier, Bitch Davis, et al).
If memory serves me right Tom Landry did it with Staubach and Morton in the early 70's
Ha! You're old.

They did it in 1971. The idea bombed pretty badly, and halfway through the season they just stuck with Staubach. They wound up winning the Super Bowl, with Staubach as MVP.

Spurrier pretty much did it in his short yet celebrated tenure with the taterskins.

Yes. It was heralded as the "Cheap and Available" method.

You beat me to it, QB Eagles. ;)
Alternating QBs was more common back in the 50s, depending on the depth at the position and game situations.
its a great idea. Gus Frerotte is the smart, superiourly accurate, team leader, MVP type of QB. And AJ is the strong armed, run around and make TD's happen, sporscenter highlight reel type of QB. Saban is god.

Yep, Gus is the team leader alright. He'll put his head through a wall for ya!
Man, A.J. really must be sucking royally down in Miami to have a hack like Frerotte pass him on the depth chart.
:P

That's what I thought. Since they traded for him, that team has given him jack all in terms of support. I hope they finish 1-15 with Frerotten as the starter.
It could be that we were all worng and AJ is really not very good.
we?
i never thought he was any good.

Don't lie. Word on the street has it that you started chanting for McNabb to get benched so Feeley could play. Jerk.
The word in Philly was that Feeley was never a great practice player, but he could do well in the game. Have you forgotten the game against Tampa in 2001 (I know it was subs playing that last game), where he brought the Eagles down from 10 points to win it in the last 5 minutes. What was great about that game was Tony Dungy on the Tampa sideline yukking it up when they were ahead, and then when Feeley brought them back with 2 TD throws, he wasn't smiling when he left the field.
In Miami, he's never enjoyed support. Wannstadt didn't want to play him over Fiedler, and when Saban took over and hired Linehan, it was said from day 1 they were going to sign Frerotte because of his familiarity with the offense.
