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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
