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.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
