Post Mortem on Delhomme (this game, and maybe his career)

Until last night Delhomme had the number 3 QB rating all time in the playoffs.

I think blame needs to be shared with whoever let Fitzgerald run route after route with no one within 5 yards of him. Davidson for abandonning the run, DWill had 12 touches for 63 yards. Sometimes 3 and out and a punt is the best play. :rolleyes: You have to see what you have during a game and adjust, if Jake is struggling, protect him like a rookie.

Pound the rock, play defense. Panthers did neither last night and it's why they lost.

Dude do you know how much bullshit that philosophy is???? This is a guy that is supposed to be a veteran and he got beat by a team that stacked the box to stop the freakin RUN! Every INT he threw was into double and triple coverage...he self-destructed and took the team with him. Saying to "protect" him after he has a 40 million dollar contract to LEAD this team is absolutely absurd he should be able to make a throw or two against a D that is at best average...

Point is, I'd have taken the burden off Delhomme's shoulders if he's struggling. In game adjustments, we don't do it. You can flap your arms this morning and shout release Delhomme, but you don't get too many 12 win seasons in he NFL. We had our shot last night and the entire team stunk it up. Coaching at the top of the list.

Pound the rock and play defense is a bad philosophy....interesting. :out:

What we should've stuck with and what got us to our 12 wins in the first place.

Here's what Sports Illustrated had in their game grades:

"Quarterbacks: Easiest grade I have ever given. Delhomme could not have possibly played worse with five interceptions and a costly fumble. It will be tough for him to ever live down this night. Grade: F"

Not a surprise.

Why dose everyone expect Jake to be Payton or Elway. Look he had less picks this year then he did in the 03 season. The lack of adjustments to the Playcalls was our down fall. Hell even when Jake called Smoke to Smith there was someone there in the passing lane to pick it off. When there was someone open yep there was a defender blocking the passing lane. We did not use boots or shotgun nope we threw out of the Damn I formation. Hell you could have gone Max protect in the shotgun and at least gave jake 3 to 4 sec to throw the ball with a clear passing lane.

      Injury Updates

      It's the groin injury from the Las Vegas game back in October which continues to get re-aggravated every time he takes an awkward hit. Latest is he will likely miss Thursday, but may start skating in the next day or 2.

      I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.

      I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.
