Shackling your quarterback


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

My biggest problem with Jake's play yesterday was that we were moving the ball down the field on the next to last series of downs throwing short and medium range passes. We had plenty of time. In fact, imo we needed to ensure we scored and used all the clock in order to ensure New Orleans did not get the ball back. So instead of doing what was working, we threw to deep passes and both were incomplete. Even if we had completed the Smith pass, we likely would have scored too quick and still lost when New Orleans took it back the other way.

And that's Jake's fault, of course. Everything that goes wrong is.

Agreed, At this point whats the difference between starting Moore or Shackling Delhomme.

I was thinking about something similar today, what's the difference between shackling Delhomme or starting Rodney Peete. We're basically back where we were at the position. As for Moore, it would be quite different I believe.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
