September 6, 200421 yr According to 790 ESPN Radio Jay Fielder was named the starting quarterback for the season opener.
September 6, 200421 yr Yea this was in the Herald today and on the bottom line all day. Good for Jay, maybe he really is underrated.
September 6, 200421 yr Author Yea this was in the Herald today and on the bottom line all day. Good for Jay, maybe he really is underrated. 545150[/snapback] That was Sean Salisbury's point on 790 about half an hour ago. He said hes talked to teammates and most of the players have respect for him and think he is a leader. But I think I might have gone with Feeley to give the guy we traded a 2nd round pick for, a shot. No matter what no one can deny that Fielder has heart.
September 6, 200421 yr Fiedler is a winner and the problem with the DOlphins is when Fiedler gets injured like the past 2 years.
September 6, 200421 yr time for a change, no more ricky, no more feidler. time to start fresh. give feeley a chance to take over this team and move foward from there.
September 6, 200421 yr Nothing like trading a 2nd rounder for a guy who can't even beat out Jay Fiedler. The Dolphins pwn us all, smartest team ever.

September 6, 200421 yr Well, then Fiedler was gonna start anyway, so they still wasted that 2nd rounder they traded.
September 6, 200421 yr Finheaven.com has an interesting commentary about the Dolphins basically setting him up for failure. In that case, it's a win-win for the fans because most hate Feidler and if he does well in the beginning we'll be happy with Wannstedt and if he sucks at the beginning and the teams doesn't win as a result, Wanny can plug in Feely and let him get some wins. Saying the WRs, OL, and RBs will be more comfortable as the season progresses. Much like the way the Giants are handling the Kurt/Eli situation. Kurt will start and get destroyed while Eli will come in an look like a hero if he salvages a few games.
September 7, 200421 yr Most people don't mention that Jay Fiedler is only behind a few QBs in best winning percentage since the start of the Fiedler era (I think only Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia are ahead of him)
September 7, 200421 yr isnt Fiedler like 35-17 over the past 52? 545345[/snapback] maybe 2 of those wins were because of him.the rest were because of the defense,ricky,or defense. did i mention the defense?

September 7, 200421 yr weaver was on that team. chambers was drafted in 2001. i dont got a problem with Jay being named the starter. obviously the idea of trading a 2nd round pick for a career backup QB who your not going to start even though you gave him a nice bonus does piss me off a little but thats what this franchise has been reduced to.
September 7, 200421 yr I don't like Fielder, but his record speaks for itself, so in that sense him starting isn't a bad idea.... BUT this means the dolphins traded a 2nd rounder for a backup qb, and that IS a bad idea.....
September 7, 200421 yr speaking of jed weaver. the dolphins picked him up today after he was released
September 7, 200421 yr speaking of jed weaver. the dolphins picked him up today after he was released 545551[/snapback] That dude is a rocking blocker. I'd love to see him in 2 TE sets with Randy on the other side. Anyway, I don't think the Fins believe that Feely will be the backup for long because the Fins will probably release Feidler next June 1 because he's due to make $4 million which they don't want to pay. I'd love for the Fins to draft someone like Chris Rix next year in the third or fourth round to be a second or third QB.
September 7, 200421 yr speaking of jed weaver. the dolphins picked him up today after he was released 545551[/snapback] I'd love for the Fins to draft someone like Chris Rix 545588[/snapback] :blink: :lol
September 7, 200421 yr LOL 3000 yards 25 TD He blows... :plain 545797[/snapback] FSU qbs have translated their skills well into the NFL right? Weinkie, wow, awesome. Ward, yeah he was an awsome nfl'er.
