Jake nor Foxy are going anywhere......


Recommended Posts

First Post! Woo hoo.

Anyways, I think its funny how everyone thinks Jake will actually be pulled as the starter for this franchise this season. Jake's getting paid 20 million and ol Foxy is not going to bench him for the remainder of the season at any point this season.

Also, Fox isnt going anywhere....it just wont happen. As long as we dont go 0-16, he's staying. The Big Cat loves him. Plain and simple.

And whats up with all this "Matt Moore isnt the answer" bullcrap. Ummmmmm...did anyone really believe that Jake Delhomme was the answer when he won the starting job? No..........I didnt think so.

Jake isn't going anywhere! Coach Fox is gnna live and die by Delhomme. Honestly, I still love both of 'em and long as Delhomme is the most talented QB on our team, we should support him. Not to make any excuses for him but the pass protection was horrible. Hell the run protection was pretty damn bad too. We all kno Jake is a average QB at best, but I still stick by him until Coach Fox smartens up and actually drafts a QB that can actually compete for the job. I'm so tired of these undrafted rookie free agents.

Well if anyone actually watched that game they would have noticed the extreme small amount of time Jake had in the pocket... that is when there was a pocket. I am pretty critical of all the players when they play a bad game but I personally am kind of sick of hearing all the blame being put on Jake. Also he (Jake) needs to stop placing all the blame on himself and throw a little where it belongs. I wouldn't go as far as saying they had problems blocking but I would say the front line did very little blocking at all. I really don't care who the QB is, when they have 0.3 to 0.9 seconds to decide which of the double covered receivers they are going for before 3 linemen flatten them... well they will most likely not look much better. I won't get on the defense too much as they did OK. Offensively we looked horrible. Anyone saying Jake blew the game didn't watch very much of it. Just like the people who go to the games and bail at half-time when we're 3 points down. "Game's over, Jake blew it again." I've heard that said at a game followed by a lot of "fans" bailing on the team that needs them followed by a nice win. Even Detroit and Cleveland fans stayed at games longer.

Oh well, I guess everyone has a finger to point and I'm pointing mine at the offensive line and the "fans".

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
