Sheldon Brown Talks about Delhomme

So every DB in the league knows Jake locks on to 89, especially on plays of significance (third and long). They just lie in wait like a lion ready to pounce. And before long....they feed. It's inevitable.

He's been doing that for years and Jake to Smitty has worked for the most part. What's so different now?

I don't get it. Is Jake just getting old and his accuracy just isn't there?

I know he had the surgery and came back strong but I'll never forget the last drive of the last game last season against the Saints when Smitty made that miracle catch and Jake ran to the sidelines holding his arm like he hurt it again. Of course, he never said anything but the next day as soon as he aired it out, it was over. You have to wonder...

i've pretty much concluded that Delhomme is finished, and it's nothing new. But another part about what makes our offense so inept is that the WR starting opposite Smith is Moose. He's not going to attract any extra coverage most of the time and would best serve the team as a slot receiver at this point (the Proehl role), but only if we had a viable no.2 receiver. Working with Jarrett so far has been a struggle, but I'll tell you right now, maybe, just maybe, start Jarrett at no.2 the next game and see how he fares, or at least sub him in for Moose on some passing downs. He doesn't get many snaps on the field, he hasn't been given a whole lot of opportunities to show us what he's got, and as slow as he can be, he's got to have more speed at his age than Moose to run downfield, and more stamina not to get exhausted after running a go route.

    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. 
    • What happened to King? Was he a no show?
    • think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
