Insight into Scherer's approach

[Mr. Scot]

From Chandler: New QB Coach No Stranger

Scherer said he's looking forward to working with a veteran like Delhomme “who's coachable and wants to get better.”

He said he and Delhomme agree that it's important to get refreshed on the elementary aspects of playing the position.

“I know a lot of guys don't adhere to that in the NFL,” said Scherer. “But Jake wants that. He wants to get back to focusing on fundamentals and technique, and on the mental part of the game, the emotional part of playing the position, the leadership, handling the pressure, things like that. I don't think you can neglect any of those.

“A lot of times there's a tendency to focus on the scheme and understanding concepts. Those are a big part, but not the only part, of playing that position.”

I like the sound of this.

so what we have here is a mentor.

i like it. vinny would have been great at this but rip may be just what jake needs.

looking forward to it.

I'd have to agree with that, both the QB and the QB coach being on the same page and both wanting to work on noticeable problem areas with delhomme, Technique and fundamentals. mmmm wonder if we can expect a big year from delhomme next season.

Probably the first bit of news that has given me any hope for improvements next season.

Of special note:

He wants to get back to focusing on fundamentals and technique, and on the mental part of the game, the emotional part of playing the position, the leadership, handling the pressure, things like that.

You could infer from Jake saying he wants to "get back to" those things that they may not have been a focus previously.

[Doc Holiday]

well right now he's saying all the right things.

That's what I took from it, and considering that's his two biggest problem area's. I'd say it's a good thing he wants to work on those areas.

Something that just came to mind was how a lot of reports stated that Jake felt like he had a completely new arm after the surgery. One would think that if he was playing through the pain for that long that some of his tendencies in his technique were due to the adjustment from the pain.

Like you said Mr. Scot, it doesn't seem that working on those accepts weren't focused on by McCoy. With Jake's "new" arm, a lot of his technique had to have need erred by the habits before.

You mean Mike "throw it how you like to" McCoy didn't focus on "fundamentals or technique"???

I never pictured Jake having too big of an ego to always improve and admit he needs improving, but that playoff game will help motivate him more than no other... The work he put in to come back from Tommy John surgery shows he has the work ethic and motivation already...

[Fox007]

If he can convince Jake that throwing the ball out of bounds is not always a bad thing that would be good.

If Jake only throws one ball out of bounds this next season(on purpose), he will have already been upgraded.

[17+89=6]

I think that this should definitely help Jake. The way he throws the ball now isn't exactly pretty, and I don't know how much better he can get, but I would definitely like to see some improvement in that area. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.

Sounds logical. Hope this is the reason because I dont want to start over just yet with a new QB. Hes also going to have to fix Delhommes psyche...

[OneBadassCat]

Jake wants to get better. Sounds good to me. He just doesn't seem to be like the kind of guy that would lay down after a performance like 2 weeks ago. He owes it to the team to get better I think he knows that.
