Didn't Jake play in a WCO at New Orleans? I'm not saying he will succeed if he ends up in Cleveland, but I don't think the WCO will be the reason if he doesn't succeed either.

he never played in N.O. so, doesn't matter. couldn't even beat out Aaron Brooks.

i'm very skeptical that outside of a Fox/Steve Smith system Jake can do anything in NFL

Actually, he played very well with the Saints when he got a chance. I'm pretty sure there were a lot of Saints fans that wanted him to start. Just because the guy was bad last year does not mean that he was never good.

you are correct; the majority of Saints fans wanted Jake over that pig Aaron Brooks. Brooks was SO bad, after the Saints cut him he was out of the league within a year. Haslett had something (sort of like Fox with Jake) that made him bet the farm on Brooks. It's amazing that the closer some of these coaches are to the fire, they fail to see the obvious. For the record, Jake was pretty good when he was given the chance with the Saints. He still has a pair of Neo Deion's shoes from when Jake burnt him and knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs.

Thank you. I'm just as glad that Delhomme was released as anybody, but there is a lot of revisionist history going on around here about him. The guy was a pretty good QB for a few years, whether some people want to admit it or not.

He played a total of 2 games in New Orleans

http://www.nfl.com/players/jakedelhomme/profile?id=DEL367367

In those 2 games, it was similar to his recent stats here once not even Steve Smith could bail him out:

1999: 2 games, 76 pass attempts, 43 Comp....5 Interceptions

he also played a small portion of a game another year. 10 pass attempts.

2.5 INT's per game in New Orleans, just as he finished here

    • I respect his enthusiasm. Time will tell if it's warrented. 
    • Oh I went off and fully entertained my wife last night as my emails go to her phone as well because of my health. So she got the whole conversation as it happened.    Like I went to games in Detroit for the cup finals, I've been to games in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Chicago as well. My mom and her nurse friend double dated one of the players from when the team was in Greensboro. "He's still with the team in some compacity as well." I know people who work for the team at the arena as well. How the hell would I not be considered a fan. Only reason I haven't gone to a game since 2022 is because of my health and money situation. Last game I went to was at United Center in Chicago and me and my wife spent around 1k for glass seats and some food at the arena and we were next to the penalty box. The pictures of the hurricane players I took are lost because my phone crapped out a few weeks later. 
    • The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
