Ball back in Delhomme's hands ... just the way opponents like it

This was written by the Flacons former beat writer, so take this with a grain of slat.

The season opener in 2006 between Atlanta and Carolina is when the book on Jake Delhomme, written by opposing teams' scouts, took full form. Newly acquired defensive end John Abraham was having the game of his life, staying in Delhomme's face, sacking him twice and forcing Delhomme to lose two fumbles.

Delhomme was on the sidelines and in the huddle yelling at teammates, coming unglued. While he had every right to be upset, losing it like he did is not how successful NFL quarterbacks perform under pressure.That wasn't the last time Delhomme couldn't keep it together.

And now, more people are starting to take note. Agitate him. Hit him. Bait him. Trick him with coverages.

Put the game in his hands.

The first part of the article basically says the dude has issues and other teams pretty much have him figured out.

The rest goes on to speculate if this trend will continue…

Not a bad article

decent article. he actually sides with the team sticking w/ him this week .....guy pretty much hit everything on the head and didn't really knock Jake as bad as some. He pretty much just stuck with facts and have it a headline people would read.

Yeah, it's a money headline. I've said it plenty of times before, those that want Delhomme to keep starting for our team should know that they share the exact sentiments as every Buc/Saint/Falcon fan out there.

well that might be a bit much considering his career record against some in that group.
