Jake's new teammates are crybabies


Recommended Posts

He's cool because....

According to the Chronicle-Telegram, Jake Delhomme has just signed a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns which pays him $7 million next year. According to Yahoo Sports and The Sporting News, Jake will also get $12.7 million from the Carolina Panthers, who cut him despite his guaranteed contract because of a string of awful games filled with key interceptions.

Delhomme will make a whopping $19 million-plus next season. Last year the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL was New York Giants QB Eli Manning at $15.285 million.

I could see Jackson and Harrison desputing thier contract and I could possibly see Abram Elam disputing his but everyone else doesnt deserve a improved contact. They didn't win last year and expect to get paid more? I think not. I can't understand how they could call Matt Roth a pass rush specialist? He has never had more than 5 sacks in a season, some specialist that is. Maybe the Browns are so horrible because they consider people like him specialst? I guess Jake Delhomme is a touchdown specialist for the Browns too. The Browns are a mess and keepingg players with that attitude on your team will only hurt your team.

Jake Delhomme and torched usually do not go along in the same sentence. Unless you say "Angry Redneck NC State fans threatened to torch Jake Delhomme's house unless the Panthers traded for Philip Jesus Rivers" ...... jk kidding NC State fans just an offseason-i am bored- joke

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
