Delhomme to reunite with Fox?


Recommended Posts

I like Jake. I hope he just retires on his own terms instead of embarrassing him self and becoming a journeyman for the next few years. Come on back to Carolina and retire(but don't play...please sweet baby Jesus don't play).

I hate to break it to ya, but Jake Delhomme is already remembered as a journeyman QB pretty much everywhere. The only exception is Carolina fans.

I don't mean to sound nasty, but will we ever get to the point where we can face the fact that Delhomme's successes were flukes and that he is and always has been an over-emotional, barely competent player?

Terrible idea! And it would signal to the Broncos fans that John Fox is willing to make the same stupid mistakes with the same people again. It doesnt matter that Jake Delhomme is a great guy. He's not the answer at QB. I think you're gonna see The Golden Calf of Bristol win over John Fox. He's a great character guy, a winner, and he's a hard-nosed football player.

Yeah The Golden Calf of Bristol is the kind of guy that you would think Fox would go nuts for.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
