What does Fox like so much about Delhomme?

Yep, and Godfrey was the only option at safety because Martin is awful too.

Truth is Fox like to start vets. He hates taking chances. The only way Moore would ever get a start is if Jake is hurt. It has nothing to do with Moore.

This is especially true in the offensive skill positions. Rookie defensive players at least have a shot to start (Beason, Davis, Peppers). I can't remember us ever starting a rookie at any of the offensive skill positions except when Smith was hurt and Colbert had to start. And then Colbert started for years even when he was not productive.

Well, if Moore is a dumbass and has not proven anything in three years we should cut him, period. And if Jake is the QB that offers us the best chance of winning then we are in sorry-ass shape. We beat the Cardinals with Jake having what for any other QB would have been a horrible game; not many pass plays, a 50% completion average, you get the point. We can't have other teams defensive strategies be to pack the box and essentially dare Jake to throw it.

Maybe Moore does stink and Jake is the best option - but this team would be a definite playoff contender IMO if it weren't for our greatest flaw, the guy taking the snaps (fill in the name of whichever of our QBs you like here).

Delhomme hasn't had one good spell this season. He's had meltdown spells and not complete suck spells. All the QBs playing as badly as him have been replaced or are young QBs on bad teams. He's thrown a seasons worth of interceptions in under half a season and we are 30th in pass attempts. When in this season has he shown himself to be the best option? Even young QBs on horrible teams don't turn it over as much as him. Moore would basically have to be the worse starting QB in the league to make Jake look like the best option. What makes people think that would be the case considering the talent he would have to help him?

Your kinda Preaching to the quire here bud. I was just telling you why Jake still starts. The fact is we are stuck with him and Fox will live or die with Jake. Be happy, If Jake Fails and we dont make the plays offs Fox is gone. If Jake dose not fail and dose make the Playoffs you should be happy as well.

You know, it might just be that Fox understands that Jake has been in a slump and he knows that it's possible for a football player to go through a slump and then come out of it, even if fans don't. Remember about 4 years ago when everybody and their brother thought Kurt Warner was done as an NFL starting QB? He came back and Jake can too.

Besides that, it can't be said enough that Jake's teammates want him in there probably more than the HC does. Even Matt Moore saved the game ball for Jake after that Arizona win last week and has publicly stated that he's %100 behind Jake Delhomme.

Well when Warner was thought to be washed up he started bouncing from team to team until he got his groove back, Joke is still here. When a good game by Dulhomme is catagorized as 15 for 22 for 120 yds and no INT's we're fked.

Which of the 3 characteristics, defined by Fox, does Moore not have? Leadership, smarts, physical ability.... He might be timid as a leader but I dont discount him on smarts because our playbook isnt that complex and he's young and can move and throw the poo outta the ball. Moore has to push Dulhomme and if he cant, it makes Fox look moore (no pun intended) like an ass for putting up with hime for 3 years.

Don't get me wrong... I'll be watching the game and supporting the team, but if my dick is broke im going to go get some viagra...

Yeah, and WARNER WAS RIGHTFULLY BENCHED DURING HIS SLUMP.

Well, Jake was benched in week 1 and his back ups did nothing but get the hell beaten out of them.

Huh... he wasn't benched he was pulled when the game was outta reach and Fox didn't want him to get injured in a losing effort. I think Moore and Mccown played a hell of a lot better then Jake did anyway.

Seriously? Were you really impressed by how McCown dropped back and got squashed like a bug in about 2.5 seconds that day? Were you also taken aback by how Matt Moore was able to use his athleticism to last an extra .5 seconds longer in the pocket than Delhomme before he either got sacked, threw an incomplete pass, or an INT? Which one impressed you more? Was it all the TD's they didn't score or what?

Does anyone read my post before they start to diss them? Nowhere did I say I was impressed. I said they played better then Jake which isn't very hard recently.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
