Delhomme says he wasn't ready to hold a clipboard

I had to decide if I still wanted to still try to compete or if I wanted to hold a clipboard," Delhomme said. "I wasn't ready for that. I just wasn't ready for that plain and simple. I wanted to have a chance to come in to compete and play."

Yeah, between the two Delhomme will be the starter. Unless and until he coughs up six turnovers in Week One.

On what happened last year)- “I didn’t play good football. I’m not going to blame anybody else or anything. I didn’t play good football, very simple. For whatever reason, I can sit here and blame this, blame that, but ultimately that doesn’t do anybody any good. I didn’t play good football from Week 1 on. The 2009 year football wise wasn’t fun.

Out of curiosity, when he says I can sit here and blame this or blame that, but doesn't want to, what the hell is he talking about?? Who or what could he possible blame aside from himself. Don't get me wrong, Jake is a really classy guy and I wish him the best, but I don't get who or what he could even be referring to when he says that.

Haha, I was going to come in here and type the same thing. Blame who? His struggles were all on him.

Anyways, even though I dont see it working out, I hope he does decent in Cleveland.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
