Fox is starting Delhomme not to lose his job but...

I think you are making a bit much out of this decision - Fox has always been very stubborn about replacing players, and seems to rely primarily on practice instead of game time. I think that is why Moore is so far behind. I think, though, that Fox recognizes there is tremendous pressure to try Moore, particularly if Jake falters in Arizona. We will see - if Jake's career is put down in Arizona, then I think Fox will give in to Moore. If Jake has even a decent day, no matter the outcome, we'll hear about how other people need to improve for another week until Jake gives the game to another crappy team.

Fox has put himself in lose-lose situation. Start Moore vs Arizona to appease the fans(and anyone with common sense) and he either 1. plays great, finishes the season playing great, Fox gets fired for sticking with Jake with his contract or 2. Moore plays horribly, Fox gets to say I told you so, and he's fired anyway. The ONLY way for Fox to keep his job is if Jake plays great, not just good, for the rest of the year.

Watch Moore go to another team and become a pro bowler.

I would be okay with that, just so all of the anti-Moore crowd here could eat crow.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting him to be All Pro or anything. I just think it's unfair to outright declare there is no way Moore is capable of starting in this league, especially when he's won two out of the three games he's started.

And this league is about what have you done for my lately. Why are all of you hung up on ancient history.

Oh, because that is the only possible justification..............

Nevermind.....

This FO failed to get a backup QB. They also failed to get Smith help at WR.

You do have two kickers, two FB's however. When a FO starts giving away #1 picks you should smell trouble. The strategy of doing it last year and going big and planning to run was ok and resulted in success. The problem surfaced when you have to play from behind. So going into this year with zero movement on the WR front is a huge fail. Perhaps the biggest fail of all to me. It is the end of the Fox and Delhomme era. Period.

    • So... what metrics for production do you believe display these issues/limitations best? Are we only using total passing yards, height, and weight thresholds? If so, then what are those thresholds?
    • I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.
    • It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.
