Hurney: "It's hard not to get emotional...We struggled with this one a lot. We just made the decision that Matt would be No. 1."

John Fox: "I'm not sure I've had any more respect for a football player than Jake Delhomme."

Hurney: "Our focus is on our young players. We feel like we have a nucleus of young players who can step up and be the core of this team."

John Fox: "It's a young man's game, and part of being successful is developing young players."

John Fox: "Right now, we've made the decision that Matt Moore is our starter, and we'll move forward."

Hurney: on how Delhomme dealt with the news: "He handled it with the same class that he's shown since he's been here."

- on the state of defensive tackle position: "We feel like we've got some young guys at DT that can step up."

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
