How many games did Jake Delhomme lose us?


The Question

Recommended Posts

It's just killing me to think where the Cats would be right now if we pulled Jake without the bullshit after the eagles game. The way I figure Matt has beaten 2 teams that are clearly better than any squad Jake bested this year, and Matty did it with authority. Are we in the playoffs or fighting for a spot this Sunday if Matt got the gig from week 2? In my mind yes.

Jake lost us (IMO)..

Eagles

Cowboys

Buffalo

Saints

Jets

That's giving away the first Falcons game which is questionable.. My games not counting the Iggles given we win them makes us 11-4. If Matt had been starting from week 2 I'd even give him the Pats game because he'd be more confident and comfortable, etc. Why Fox Why?

Only one, Philadelphia.

Any coach with an I.Q greater than a bag of groceries should have easily known Jake doesn't have it, especially since he should have been on a short leash in the first place.

I wouldn't go to that extent. He should've been pulled within the first three games, though.

13 or so turnovers in his last two games, his "average" QB skills on the obvious decline.

Let Mcnabb put up those numbers and he's benched.

Jake does occasionally and he doesn't.

What do you mean "last two"? I thought we were talking about the beginning of the season? :confused:

Arizona and Philly.

Point is, if Fox was not a stubborn idiot Jake's legacy wouldn't have been so tarnished.

Now he's known as the Leagues shitiest QB, who's color blind.

No.. Williams did not lose the Saints game. Our coaching staff having to plan a game in spite of our quarterback lost us that game. I think by that time they were actually trying to see if the "run as much as we can and cross your fingers while we watch him stare down one receiver and throw floaters and zingers into the stands" strategy would do for this year. The Dolphins game was lost by our whole team as were some others but you have to figure if Moore is playing well that we are confident and can game plan around the weakness of a team instead of the weaknesses of our Jake. -Shrug- Doesn't matter now, just hope to see Moore and the team light it up next year.

    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
    • I dont recall that happening to a qb but my memory has been crap the past few years
