Jake Delhomme

Yeah UK that does sound cool.

I'll actually think about it.

And if you knew how much I dislike FF in general, you would know that's pretty strange for me.

I would have never guessed you would given anything like this a try.

I'm not really sure why everyone keeps saying that Jake wins some games and loses other. There seems to be this idea that he plays extremely well sometimes and extremely badly sometimes. Really, the only game that you could argue that Jake "won" for us last year was the SD game. And he really only "lost" was the playoff game. Most of the time he's consistently playing at above average.

Yes, I would rate him a B-lister despite his multi-INT games. To be honest, but for his lackluster performance in the Oakland game, and the disaster in the playoffs, Jake was pretty much Jake. Other than his "cardinal disaster", don't expect anything different this year. I'd guess he gets around 300 yds. in 4-5 games, 200-250 yds. in 7 games, and 175-200 in about 4-5 games. Maybe about 10-12 INTs and 18-22 Tds (depending)

for the regular season. I see him ranking about 12th.

Of course all of this is educated conjecture. I'm hoping that he'll be even better.

Jake won the Green Bay game, the San Diego and the second Saints game with last minute heroics. He also set up Kasay to win it in regulation at the Giants. With most other quarterbacks we don't win those games. He is one of the best in 4th quarter comebacks.

Smith won the GB game,,,the other two I'll agree.

Hey guys, Im new to the board but from the time Ive spent here already this place looks like a great football board. As my name suggests Im a huge Bills fan however I am a fan of a lot of players on your team.

I was wondering what your opinions are on your QB Jake Delhomme? I own a team in the NAAFL Simulation League and drafted Jake to be my QB. Jake was the 8th QB on my board ahead of Tony Romo, David Garrard, Jason Campbell and a number of oter big name QBs.

A sim league is not Fantasy Football, its based on stats from last year, we draft a full 53 man roster, salary cap, trade, rookie drafts and submit gameplans each week.

Its very different to fantasy football, a lot more in-depth.

What do you believe Delhommes stregnths and weaknesses are? What are the chances of him improving next season?

My simulation team is based a lot around the Panthers... 2 great Rbs, Delhomme at QB, Steve Smith is also my #1 WR.

Here is a link to my my team Roster: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pEJz2dzG0Si7IPD4w6VWcWQ&hl=en (then click 'Pirates' at the bottom)

Thanks for your time guys. Looking forward to getting to know everyone around here.

If you have any questions about the Sim league and what it is please feel free to PM me.

You made a huge awful reach on Jake for fantasy.

I love Jake and Fantasy football both and this is just an awful reach.

I was poking through your link you posted and it looked like you took Jake ahead of Cutler and Ryan also. That was terrible. Hell, I would rather even have Trent Edwards this year than Jake, seriously. Dynasty fantasy football wise, Jake is not even in the top 25. If he was in a pass heavy offense with poor defense I could see his value, but he is not he is in the opposite. The only benefit is I can forsee Jake being a starter for quite a while (4+ years). He is sort of safe in that respect but I would deal if possible.

fantasy football....if you are relying on consistent stats from him you are going to be disappointed. he will win you some games and cost you others.

If the truth be known Smitty caught the pass in the New Orleans games and the Giants game didn't he? You can't really separate them in my opinion. Jake gets him the ball and Smitty somehow comes down with it.

As Ive said this is NOT fantasy football. I took Jake in the 8th Round which I believe is good value and Cutler and Ryan both went in the first round.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
