StevieInferior Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 This proves that the Skins are not dangling Ramsey around the league. Otherwise, Miami would have waited the situation out. Atleast in one front office's mind, the Skins are staying put on their decision to have two Qbs. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-feeley022104,0,5212107.story?coll=sfla-dolphins-front INDIANAPOLIS -- The Dolphins' search for a new quarterback has ended early in the offseason, as the team is on the verge of finalizing a trade for Philadelphia quarterback A.J. Feeley. Two NFL sources confirmed Saturday that the Dolphins are set to send an undisclosed draft pick in 2005 for Feeley, a third-year player who showed promise in 2002 while posting a 4-1 record as a starter in place of the injured Donovan McNabb. Dolphins General Manager Rick Spielman did not return a telephone message seeking comment. Under NFL rules, the trade cannot become official until March 2. But the Dolphins are in the process of negotiating a new contract with Feeley, meeting Saturday morning with agent David Dunn at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. A 2001 fifth-round draft choice from Oregon, Feeley served as Philadelphia's third-string quarterback last season behind McNabb and Koy Detmer. But Feeley showed enough promise during the 2002 season that the Dolphins decided to pursue finalizing a trade rather than waiting for other potential options like Washington's Patrick Ramsey or Drew Henson of the Houston Texans. The acquisition of Feeley could spell the end of starter Jay Fiedler's four-year tenure with the Dolphins. Fiedler's agent Brian Levy declined to comment on the situation.

ljer Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Good news...get that dude out of Philly, I thought he played better than McNugget at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Very interesting. Feely in Miami should be one of the more absorbing storylines of the coming season. At least we know PR isn't going to Miami now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 This is not good news. First off, if AJ Feeley is starting for a team, it means that that we'll have to listen to Chris Berman say "Feel Me, Touch Me, See Me" about 10 times as often. Second, Miami isnt the only tam that could use a a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles_Legendz Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 According to Howard Eskin of WIP the Eagles get the Phins 2nd rounder in '05. That should boost Ramsey's value if the Eagles got that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrahim Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Who knows maybe this is the guy they are bringing in to compete with Ramsey after we trade him to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 The Patriots and Eagles are good at stock-piling draft picks....... that I will give them credit for. Getting a 2nd round pick for Feeley was a good deal for them. I guess Miami decided to back out of the Drew Henson sweepstakes. A. J.

Canadian Hog Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 This reminds me alot of the Jay Fiedler situation when Miami picked him up years back. Both him and Feeley had little starting experience when Miami acquired them. I can't see the people in Dolphin land being happy about this one, especially after having struck out in the Brunell sweepstakes, and failing to land Patrick. South Florida had their sites set on Brunell, and now they have to settle on Feeley. The average Dolphins fan will surely be shaking their head. With that being said, Feeley is a pretty good prospect who could develop into a servicable starter. He seems to be confident and poised, but the fact of the matter is that despite his 4-1 record, he put up only 6 TDs and 5 INTS. That's has to be a bit alarming.

Flowtrain Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Good. Of all the potential QB options out there for Miami, this one is the most likely to contribute to a QB controversy. Fiedler and Feeley are both just shy of NFL starting material, and Wanndstedt is just shy of coaching material. It'll be another 7-3 start and a 2-4 finish. Good ol' Dolphins.

Coach Williams Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 at least all the d*mn BS about ramsey going to miami will stop....my supervisor is a miami fan and always has something stupid to say..... Ex: yesterday, " The redskins can't keep brunell and ramsey remember there's a salary cap.":doh: sure P.R.'s 1 mill. hit will kill us.....but keeping champ is a good cap friendly idea:doh: what a J/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSchwartz Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Miami isn't too bright if they think that A.J. Feeley somehow upgrades their QB situation. He is no better than the 3 guys they currently have on the roster. I would bet that he won't win the starting job next year over Fiedler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I don't see how Feely is an upgrade over Fiedler. Feely can perhaps compete with Fiedler for the starting position but to say that he is the qb that will enable them to actually accomplish something past the month of December during a given football season, its beyond a stretch of the imagination.

kappaluvacee Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Feely is a good move for the Skins, it depletes the Eagles QB position. They are one big hit on McNab away from having Detmer throw to their awful WR's for the rest of the season. Good job Andy Reid. As for those that thikn Mcnab is an awful QB (did you learn nothing from your good friend Rush Limbaugh). Mcnabb Gets the job done for Philly. That's what a QB needs to do, get the job done and get the win. We've seen him go off for big games enough times on us to not make stupid statements like Rush. I don't think he's the most conventional of QB's, but he's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
