Trade Delhomme

back to the Saints, so I can make him look like Johnny Unitas. I am the greatest QB coach/OC ever. Did mention I call my own plays. :D

Listen here fine young male, I am the ONLY coach around these parts.

With that said, we could trade Brees for Jake, Jake is past his prime and Brees is entering his own prime.

im with you on this one

I'm not.

All the stats in the world are meaningless if you don't win, and a lot of Brees yards this season have come because the team was playing from behind. Add in that I've seen nothing out of Brees to make me think he's the kind of winner in the playoffs that you need to be successful in the postseason. He might turnout to be someday, but I've seen nothing to show that yet.

what makes you think he can't win in the playoffs? Sure his record in the 4th quarter while playing from behind is horrible, but much of that can be attributed to the horrible defense the Saints play. He is miles ahead of Delhomme in almost every way. I don't dislike Delhomme, but anyone who thinks Jake is a better QB is delusional.

That's kind of a big deal, and it isn't all on the defense.

There's more to being a winning QB than pretty passes and good stats. If you doubt that, ask Cowboy fans (or Bronco fans for that matter).

A big part of my breakdown of Brees is that their one big playoff win with him owed a lot to the Eagles shooting themselves in the foot. Then when it came to the game against the Bears, Payton's game plan went away from the run (which was a Bears weakness at the game) and put the game in Brees hands. Needless to say, that didn't work.

I'll take ugly wins over losses with nice highlight reels any day.

Their are quarterbacks, coaches and teams that you can always count on to look really good in the regular season but not seal the deal in the playoffs. Such guys are annually getting awards and honors, but not rings.

Those aren't guys I want to follow.

I agree to a point. There are such things as intangibles, which Jake has oozing from his being. I'm a big Jake supporter, but to provide a bit of balance to the arguement, I have to agree that anyone who thinks Delhomme is better than Brees has lost their mind.

It takes 45 to win a game on Sunday, and last I checked, the Saints are 25th in scoring defense. The Saints are also 16 total points away from being 13-2 on the season. The 16 points represent the combined scoring differential in 5 of their losses. They gave up an average of 29 points per game in those losses.

To be consistent, one would have to blame Jake for the Giants loss, and the 300+ rushing yards allowed, to make a similar argument to yours, as it relates to Brees.

    • I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?
    • You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
    • For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
