....Look, the guy plays..trys hard each and every week. His career as a starter is probably over, and now he has a thumb injury so I doubt even after he comes back will he play. Its sad, and mind boggling how he went from being really good, to really...REALLY bad...He is the best QB we've ever had..and now..its over.

RIP Jake Delhomme Prime..

No, somehow he deluded our coaches into thinking he was Brett Favre and no need to find a replacement behind him.

For that, he has made Millions and Millions of dollars. Time to move on.

and Steve Buerline was the best QB we ever had, Kerry Collins was most talented. Jake was a fluke, shortcomings covered up by the fact he has a strong running game, Smith and Moose(especially Smith) to bail him out. It took teams years to figure out that you beat Jake by forcing him to pass more than 30 times a game. Do that and high chance of victory.

I think in general it is sad to see Jake's reign as the starter go however I don't really feel sorry for him. He gets to play a game for living, a damn good living at that. He's had plenty of opportunities to redeem himself and lead the team like he used to, but he just can't anymore. His benching has been a few weeks over due.

I know where you are coming from but Jake has lived his dream of being a top level nfl QB, been to the SB, has a winning record over several years, and is set up for life. He has more guaranteed money coming to him than most of us will make in our life time. He'll be okay!

...I was a little kid when Steve Buerline was here...but how many SBs did he take us to?..How many SBs did Kerry Collins take us to? Jake took a team 2 years removed from 1-5, and came a John Kasey kickoff away from going to OT in the SB...plus he had good years after that. 7 good years (minus a few injuries) was all a fluke?

A lot went right that year it wasn't just Jake.

he's a nice guy and you don't want bad things to happen to him but i think he'll be ok. it's not like he has nothing else to do after his career here is over.

dudes going to still be rich and making a lot of money long after he's gone from charlotte.

plus he'll still have more money and opportunities than i ever had. not feeling sorry for him. i'd gladly go through what he's going through right now if the payoff was the same.

And I bet 5 bucks if Rodney Pete is the QB that year we go 8-8...and why is Todd Sauerbrun included there on your list? lol

Well that's because Rodney Peete sucked. Delhomme was in his prime when he was still good. His style of play was what we needed. Todd was the best punter in the league in 2003.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
