Look at how ineffective he was later in the season last year when he started facing good defenses. With Portis's production falling it was quite clear to everyone that when the pressure was on Campbell he couldn't get it done.

I didn't see him throwing 4-5 picks against Oakland and Arizona.

When the running game was stopped it was quite clear to everyone when the pressure was on Delhomme he couldn't get it done.

The running game wasn't nearly as effective early in the season and yet *gasp* we still won games. In 2004, 2005 and 2006 our running game sucked and *gasp* we still won games. Jake's best year was one of our worst years for running the football. Come on man at least bring SOMETHING to the table.

3 games the running game was shut down completely.

Minnesota

Tampa Bay (1)

Arizona (2)

in all 3 of these games Jake didn't play well at all.

Irrelevant. The Arizona and Oakland games were in 2008.

I don't hate the guy. I appreciate how he competes and is fired up every week. Let's face it though - he's AVERAGE in every sense of the word. This is a Quarterback and Coach driven league. We're average both ways. Spare me the exceptions but the teams with elite QBs are the teams that win. Unfortunately for us that now includes Ryan and the Falcons.

Ryan is not elite. He had a pretty good season for a rookie, that's it. He has the potential to be good or maybe even elite, but he's not there yet.

Hi guys,I'm new here and its great.I have been reading and one thing is clear.It seems that no one remembers what a true quaterback is. Jake has had the good fortune of having some of the best recievers in the game.He is fortunate that he led an expansion team to thier first superbowl and was competative,(because of some of the greatest catches I have ever seen a reciever make) in that one game he won so many casual fans its amazing. But the real is that we are never going to win the big one with him as quaterback.Without the quality recievers he has he is average at best,when you really need him less than average.As far the question there is no better option now. The coaching staff and GM have let every decent option that has bee there pass on by.This tells me that we have no intention of winning andthat is very disappointing to me as a fan.It is time for a new start coaching staff and quaterback.There is no way Jake should be our starter on opening day.

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
