Did Jake at least give you hope?

With Delhomme, no matter how bad we were losing I always felt that he was going to get into a gunsling and pull it out in the 4th, I never lost hope even though towards the end he would disappoint more than come through. Under the new era, the moment we are down I am pretty much convinced that Moore/Clausen do not have the intangibles to get it done and pull it out

He would give me hope if I bet against him

Jake gave hope but he also gave a tolerance of side arm crazy ass passes. We can do better. He was a very special player but we need to raise our standards a little. You can't get by with a mediocre QB anymore unless you have a top 3 defense and rushing attack. It's just so tragic in a way that his talent isn't even close to his leadership/motivation.

To be honest, every Sunday morning I felt the old Jake would come back and we would win. He did give me confidence, even until that last game where he got injured.

Now, I don't have confidence.. I just look forward to seeing Clausen develop.

Everyone remembers Jake before the injury, but that Jake is GONE. Thats why all this reminiscing is pointless. Jake doesn't play like that anymore. Everyone gets old, everyone has a point in there career where they can't do what they used to Jake's time came, and sooner some of you realize that, the better off you will be. I just don't understand why we keep going through this. no one forgets what Jake did, but the keyword is DID. He can't do it anymore. He proved it with his play of the field.

    • Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.
    • I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space.
