I am a Jake Delhomme fan because he's our QB. I do like his fire at times, but his arm is horrible. He doesn't have any zip on the ball. He is not accurate. Smitty is a great wide out, probably better than most think. Think about it he ALWAYS has to adjust to the ball in deep situations. Short passes are his bread and butter. I think we should start grooming Moore to be our starter. Jake can be the Vet that helps him out and is a quality back up. Moore has the tools. He just needs the snaps. I knew our offense would get exposed at some point. Now the question is what changes will be made to fix the problem. We were exposed on national TV in the NFC divisional game. This has to be addressed. Our offense has great talent, and in every game the weak link is Jake. I'm not saying this because of one game. I have always felt like this since the Super Bowl run. If you've ever noticed Jake's TD passes are either slants that WRs takes to the house, a 10-20 yard strike (which is routine for a NFL QB), or a floater that Smitty (usually) has to make a leaping grab. It's time to put an arm under center.

In his last QB competition, Jake threw the ball 73 yards. The winner threw 75. This was before TJ surgery.

Another thread mentioned the quarterback coach. I understood there was no qb coach. They said McCoy. I understand there is no qb coach.

I don't see any sign of a QB coach. Jake throws to closely guarded receivers, mainly Smith, often successfully, sometimes not. This having gone on for years, seems to be either a coaching decision, or a non-coaching result.

If coaching and play design call for Jake to get the ball to Steve Smith, possibly Jake is holding the ball too long waiting for Smith to get less covered.

Possibly Jake has become more submissive to the coaching. In his first year, 2003, towards the end of one game, Jake was told to spike the ball so the coaches could think of what to do. Jake spiked it to a wide receiver for a td.

I wonder (hopelessly) if the owner might be able to send the coaches out of the stadium during the 4th quarter or whole second half and let the players run the game; the players by then would be better judges of their matchups against the opponent. Maybe so as not to give away the strategy, the owner should send the coaches to acting school so as to perform as if still coaching while the players are running the game.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
