Jake Delhomme is not a "BIG-TIME" Quarterback, he is a...

..."BIG-GAME" Quarterback.

That is exactly why he will have a great game this Sunday.

Say what you will about Jake, but he always plays his best in games that are hyped to be very important, especially if his team is "EXPECTED" to lose it, like the Panthers are on Sunday.

We will see a very confident Jake Delhomme this Sunday, ala the 2005 playoff game against the Chicago Bears, a game most were picking us to LOSE. Against Seattle in the NFC Championship that same year, most were picking us to face the Steelers in the Super Bowl, and we might as well have not even shown up.

Most expect the Giants to win this, which will bring out the best in Delhomme.

I expect near 300 yards from him this Sunday.

Hopefully he still has it in him.

Jake is clutch in games like this....he and Smitty should put up huge numbers and Deangelo and Stewart will handle their end

[Darth Biscuit]

This has been true of Jake, he seems to thrive under pressure. Not only big games, but end of game drives as well... if the pressure is on, he is a leader.

He comes to play in December. I expect to have some success in the running game on Sunday night which will set him up nicely to get the open reads. #89 will be clutch, but I look to see Jake going to Moose across the middle much like he did against Denver.

When I see this look on Jake's face, I realize our Panthers are ready to take over the game.

Exactly!....great picture.

That's the look I want to see all the way to Tampa

Who took that pic?

edit: I want a high resolution on that.

It's part of the Observer's slideshow from the Broncos game. I couldn't embed the image straight from them so I had to get it to photobucket first.

This will get you there though, about the 21st pic.

Yeah, saw that pic the other day. And thought about doing a "caption" thread. Instead I got a different one...

*goes to do that one*

...fired-up ragin' cajun who will take over in the clutch.

[The Answer]

Completely agree. He always comes through.

Eric Caselias (however you spell it) was filling in for Colin Cowherd on Friday, and of course he picked the Giants because Jake Delhomme needs to show him something, because "Giants Stadium is a tough place to play in this late in the season if you've never done it before, and he's not sure if Delhomme can go up there and lead his team to victory (paraphrasing)."

Maybe he doesn't remember 2005, when Jake did that in the Panthers' 23-0 playoff victory that year.

Then they went to an even tougher place, THE CHICAGO BEARS, and did the same. It's not like that place was "easier" to play in than the Giants.

I repeat. These are the types of circumstances that usually bring out the best in Jake Delhomme, and I'll be surprised if he doesn't play well this weekend.
