Who knows what will happen. Again he is available, paid for, and as good as a lot of other backups.

But not as good as

Chris Redman

Bruce Gradkowski

Seneca Wallace

Tarvaris Jackson

Chad Henne (he was a backup)

Vince Young

Shaun Hill

Matt Leinart

who have all outplayed him this season. there are probably more

True, and there are many low priced rookies or second year prospects out there than can hand the ball off as good as anyone. They also have an upside of possibly improving as starter or trade material.

And you run the risk of Moore going down and you got nobody to lead the team. The upside young guy is the third quarterback rarely the second unless it is necessity. Look at Indy last Sunday, they had nobody when Manning was benched.

As for just handing it off, you know better. What set up Stewart in the Giants game was Moore toasting them by throwing TDs. Teams would load 10 guys in the box without a passing threat.

I find it funny fans don't think too much about paying Peppers over 20 million this season and actually only really playing the latter half. Then when you mention paying off Delhomme's 5-year contract for a bit below 13 million to cut him is some big deal.

Of those you named, how many are available, are also an unrestricted free agent and would come cheaply.

Anyone can throw out names.

Contracts don't work that way. You don't pay him off. If you let him go all his money will be due in 2010 which will end the contract and obligation. If you are going to do that then next year would be the time. Stll that decision doesn't have to made until final roster cuts next year.

No, you just said he was as good as many other backups, not as good as many other backups that would be available at the end of the year.

and that's what you think jake is.

i'm guessing you missed the Philly game, the Dallas game, the Bills game, and the Jets game.

Seriously is this all you got??

That's a little inaccurate, this team has won games in spite of Jake's horrendous play, Nobody, and I mean Nobody can effectively play worse than Jake Delhomme.

That is not an exaggeration.

Ummm......I'm sure JaMarcus Russell (there is a reason why he isn't the starter right now despite being a 1st round pick last year), Feeley, Carr (there is a reason why we got rid of him & why we went 7-9 when Jake went down & Carr played), & few others are far worse than Jake. Jake is terrible lately, but there are others worse than him. It's fine you think Jake is terrible lately, but to deny there are other worse than him is being a little too biased. Sorry, but I can't see Jake as being the only worse QB than any other in the NFL, even the backup. Guess you think Grossman is better, huh? :P

and that's what you think jake is.

Guess you miss the game against the Cards, home against Atlanta, & at Tampa where Jake was playing. He didn't lose the games for them there, did he?

I'd rather call Vinny back off the street than send Jake back out on the field. Hell, even picking up Favre after his upcoming 3rd retirement would be better. All the areas Delhomme has an upper hand in (knowing the playbook, players, etc.) doesn't mean anything if you can't even complete a pass to your own team. Maybe it's just a funk but it is hard to figure when it happens week after week. He might get lucky and not throw any picks if he was called upon and we run the ball every play.

The Raiders are just LOL, The Panthers Are one of the most talented teams in the NFL.

If you fail as a Carolina QB, your are indeed pathetic.

      That's likely going to tell the story. He'll have two weeks to prepare, so no excuses.

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield. This is just before Bryce is going to throw it.   You have 2 players off screen downfield, one player who ran a route that never had a chance to get open and didn't even get to the 1st down line, another player just at the line to gain but late in the route because of a chip (and the worst pass catcher of the 4). Do you really think that was a "good play call" in that situation?
