If Delhomme gets benched

The thing that's stuck in my craw is that Fox had the gumption in 2003 to bench Rodney Peete for Delhomme when it was obvious that he (Peete) was ineffective. I hope that he can man up and at least pull the trigger now. His job hangs on this move, IMO. If he stays status quo and sticks with Jake, then Fox is done. If he makes a move and at least attempts to get the team on track, it could save him... at this point, I think he realizes he's probably done, but if Moore/Feely can just make a difference then he might have a chance.

I think it's quite the opposite. Fox is damned if he does go with Moore, damned if he doesn't.

Think about it: if he puts Moore in and he plays well enough for the team to string together some wins, people will be furious that the move wasn't made earlier in the season.

If he puts Moore or Feeley in and they play as bad or worse than Delhomme, well then it still falls on him and the front office for not pursuing decent talent at that position.

I don't think there is anything that will save Fox's job this year, barring some miraculous post-season run.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
