I think a lot of people miss a point.

Sure, if we hadn't played Jake and instead played one of our other terrible QB's, we would not have gotten as far as we did. The point is, if we had played someone BETTER than Jake at QB, we would have gone farther than we did.

Jake has leadership qualities and is charismatic. That's good. But from a technical standpoint, in terms of skill, he is mediocre. We can do better.

Hell yeah I am. 12-4, NFC South Champs, one hell of a season ride. I said it before we wouldnt of even been in the playoffs if not for Jake. Im not saying hes the only reason or being a homer here but seriously, he had the worst game of his career. If you have ever played any sport you cant honestly tell me you havent f*cked up. We did go 12-4 with him at the helm in the reg season. Ill take that any year with a playoff shot.

kill myself? you have some serious issues man...

I would have to agree with him (other then the kill yourself thats not something you joke about). We won late in the season on and solely on Williams' legs. Too many times did Jake make poor decisions in games where the rest of the team had to bail him out. And this is nothing new he has been doing this throughout his career. If it weren't for Steve Smith Delhomme would be fighting for a roster spot. And lets not forget that he is due a $1 million roster bonus in early March. This is on top of his $5.325 million salary. That's a lot of change for a Average at best horrible at worst QB.

But unfortunately I don't see any circumstance in which if Fox is back next season that Jake wont be his starter. Here's to hoping he calls it quits.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
