Have you seen Delaire play this year?  He had one good game against the Bucs and then played terrible until he was finally demoted to inactive each week.

I might be wrong, but I think his demotion was more due to the return of a couple of dlinemen from the injury list than anything he did or didn't do.

So you don't watch the games then?  He played several games after the Bucs game and did nothing.  He isn't starting.  Ealy and Addison will play next week.  Delaire will be lucky if he is even active.

The chance of Delaire starting next week is 0%.

This.  Delaire has only one move - the speed rush.  Because of this, he is terrible at playing the run, and containing.  Of course, contain is way less important against a Carson Palmer than a Russel Wilson, so I imagine we'll see him in on some obvious passing downs.  But if it's 3rd and medium and I were the opposing team's OC, I'd run it right at Delaire every time.

Watched every game this year from beginning to the end.  I am not saying he played well, and fwiw, I thought some of our fans got too high on him after the Tampa game.  Just saying that he stopped being active because we had a couple of guys come back from injury.  And he certainly won't take Allens starting spot, but he might take his spot on the active roster.

He will have to fight Wes Horton for the spot.  And Delaire will probably lose that fight.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
