hurney should very much be included in this situation.

jake's contract, our lack of decent options at QB, our cap situation that prevented us from keeping good depth over peppers...all those played key roles in us being in the situation we are in now.

hiring davidson....that is on hurney's head as well. he has ultimate say over hiring and firings. he has to take responsibility for failed personnel choices.

it is also on his head that we are without a first round pick next year. he still has time to fix that but the cost may be more than the team can bear.

we have to find a better QB. jake is not good enough anymore. pretending that he is serviceable is fine but having to depend on him rather than having a QB that you can trust to not throw the ball and make completions to your own receiver is stupid. you can't win with a bad QB or an average at best QB without a perfect defense and running game.

Any way you slice it Fox + Hurney = FAIL.

This is a QB driven league, if you don't have a decent one then you're in trouble. With that in mind, they got us into a situation where we have no viable "PLAN B" at QB according to them, so a 34 year old guy with a surgically repaired arm (a surgery that very few QB's have, so there is very little known about how they respond) who has thrown 14 interceptions as of week 11 and who in general has looked terrible is the best option we have to win?

How did we get here do you ask? We got here because they put the only backup QB they trusted (McCown) on IR so they could run out and sign a guy that they appear to have no intention of using (Feeley), to compensate for a guy they've kept on the roster for 3 years and also appear to have no intention of using (Moore).

The worst play calling, and even WORSE quarterbacking. Jake overthrew every pass... That 3rd and 1 call we should have ran it knowing Jake was the one throwing it. If we had any other QB who can give his receiver a chance to catch the ball, it might have been a good call.

But f**k me if Jake isn't the most inaccurate passer this side of the galaxy. 19 for 42??? Before half he was like 7 of 19 or something. The guy is just awful and over throws everything. Smith is open and he makes him try and straddle the line with his pinky toes and reach out to grab a first down ball, it's dumb poo like that, that needs to get Jake benched.

"Yay Jake has a good game in every 10 games, he's our hero!" f**k that, get him off the team already..Jeff Davidson should know he's got a Jr. High caliber QB and not call as many pass plays as he did.

Hurney has put together a talented squad, he shouldn't even be in this discussion.

Jake is Jake. When he's asked to do too much, he fails. When he's asked to manage the game, he does well. He was asked to do too much tonight.

Fox hired Davidson. That's his biggest mistake of his career.

Davidson decided to call passes like he had Peyton Manning under center, again. Epic fail.

No way dude. Jake didn't even manage the game last night, he couldn't even do that. His arm is a wreck right now plain and simple. I'm sorry but once in a while your QB is going to have to step up and win games. The whole team should not have to be clicking for Jake to play well it's a bunch of horseshit. Jake doesn't even have to be great to do that. If he had the least bit of consistent accuracy we would have put up at least 21 points last night.

2 Problems on this team.

1. Jake Delhomme

2. Inability to generate inside pressure on the defensive line.

F that

I'm tired of this manage the game QB... we need a QB who's great. If not great, can perform extremely well when we need him to. Fox can take his stuck in 03 ass somewhere else

We need a QB who can actually you know, throw a ball kind of accurate and not be so awful. QB that can manage a game is the most retarded defense anyone can give Jake. We need a QB that can throw to help us win games because just running the ball wont win games alone.

    • The last child @ home has told me he wants to go to a game, so we're seeing vs Rams on the 30th
    • Did we really shut them down though? They had 369 yards of offense.   That is 9 more yards than they average per game and 53 more than we give up per game this year.   If a team gave up 369 yards per game on defense, they'd be the 7th worst defense in the league this year. Yes, I will give our defense credit for having the 4th down stand near our goal line as well as creating the fumble that stopped their first drive, as they did rise to the occasion then, but even the INT was just a ridiculous play/throw and handed it to us and they also missed a FG. We didn't force them into a single punt all game.  We had 1 sack on a QB who had 37 pass attempts. They had drives of 56, 49, 50, 43, 58, and 71 yards (while we only had 2 over 40 yards ourselves). We bent, a lot, but never really broke, partially due to the Packers own mistakes, that's a far cry from "shutting them down" in my opinion.  Again, this is why I'm critical of us after a day like today, I'm able to look beyond a final score and evaluate how we played on the whole, and we keep squeaking out these wins despite not playing well at all.  And yes, that is what great teams do, but they also play well in the majority of their games, where as all we seem to do is squeak out ugly wins without ever playing all that well. I'm not saying I'm unhappy that we won, I've never once said anything like that, but when week after week I see serious concerns with how we played, then I'm going to call out what I see.
