Do you feel better or worse?

I am very excited that we won the game and I feel that was our most complete game of the season. Furthermore, the Giants and Jets look like much better matchups than they did earlier in the season. But the issue of Jake Delhomme unfortunately still remains a big issue. On the one hand he didn't throw an INT and he actually made a really good play on the TD pass to Smitty. On the other hand he was as inaccurate as ever, didn't adjust for the blitz, and was injured towards the end of the game. The offense didn't complete a pass in the second half which is a little embarrassing no matter how well we were running the ball. So do you feel better about the Jake situation or worse now that he may be fighting a chest injury?

I for one don't think the problem is over and I'm still terrified when he chucks the ball in the air (one thing he never did against the Cards) but I think he did get the monkey off his back in a way. It will be interesting to see how his injury affects his play next week, or if his leash got a little longer with the win over Arizona.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
