I believe in Jake Delhomme

I believe in Jake Delhomme. I do, I really do.

I believe in the story of a guy who comes out of nowhere and gets a shot. I love the story of a nobody coming off the bench and taking a team to the Super Bowl that had never been there before.

I believe in a guy who has played beyond what the critics say his ability is. I love the story of an everyman schmoe who breaks into the big time.

I believe in a guy who will wing it out there in the hope and belief that his go to guy will catch it and make something happen.

I believe in a guy that suffers what should have been a career ending injury and he works his way back. I love the fact that the guy takes his team to its best regular season schedule ever.

I believe in the guy who has the worst game of his career, in the national spotlight, on his birthday. I love the fact that when he could have shifted the blame, he said it was all on him.

I believe in the guy who came back to play again even when almost everyone had quit on him. And I love that even in the face of adversity, he's still winging that ball downfield, trying to make something happen, and trusting in his teammates.

And I believe in the guy that still takes all the blame on his shoulders. And I love the fact that his coach is going to stand by him and let him have one last shot to get his revenge this Sunday and to get back what was taken from him.

Here's to you, Jake. I'll cheer when you take the field and I'll cheer when you walk off the field the victor. If it doesn't work out, I'll still be a fan forever.

I didn't think he was done until the Buffalo game. Up until then it seemed to be more of team thing. Now I think he is broken, like Rick Ankiel in pitching a few years back, but hey miracles do happen. Ankiel is playing in the bigs again, maybe Delhomme can play special teams :).

To me, this is the game. The Cardinals are the team that this whole thing really started against, and they could be the team it ends against. I've been as big a Jake supporter as anyone, and a much bigger one than most on here. I think if he gets it done this weekend, it could be a corner he's starting to turn. If not, I don't know that I'll think he's our guy anymore.

    • We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

    • similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.
    • So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
