Was it Delhomme that put the team on his shoulders, or was it Steve Smith Sr?

From what I remember, it was Smitty that carried this team during that era.

See 2004 - arguably Delhomme's best year. Pro Bowl and narrowly missed the playoffs - thanks defense. Oh yea, Steve Smith didnt play that year. Have to give JD some credit.

Jake never got the credit he deserved. A lot of people are bitter about his later post injury years but I put that more on coaching staff for leaving him out there when he clearly wasn’t good anymore.

Jake played great for us while here in his Prime. Remember he got Moose his contract after smitty went down.

Jake was a good QB when he had protection, same as most. Once the quality of our OL went down, so did his performance. But Smitty willed us to at least half a dozen victories by the amazingness of his sheer awesomeness.  And I'm honestly not a fan of Smitty at all.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
