Jake Delhomme's next starting QB job...

Recommended Posts

if he were released today.

Please don't flame. This is legit. I am curious to see any thoughts/arguments on what other franchises would look at Jake Delhomme as a starter for their team or what team he could get acquired by and legitimately unseat the current depth chart to be able to be named as the starter one full year from today barring any trade or retirement of current rosters.

I cannot think of one and I'm not saying that is a bad thing. Maybe he is perfect for the Panthers and only the Panthers but where else would he potentially work out?

Thanks for all the input in advance.

Tampa Bay- Because they will take any Quarterback

Minnesota- They need a Quarterback

Washington- They want a better Quarterback

San Fran- They would probably take a look at him

Denver- Denver would probably take a look at him

Cleveland- Could Possibly take a look at him

Houston- Could Possibly take a look at him

good suggestions...pick one and tell me why he is better than what is there. I am gonna rule out(imo) denver..pass too much, Washington...not better than current roster, and Cleveland for the same reason without even thinking hard. Houston is intriguing as well as San Fran. Why does he fit either of those?

Yeah, there are plenty of teams that would take him. Besides the ones CP listed, the Jets and Lions would consider bringing him in to be starter for a year or two while they developed their rookie QBs.

So to protect their investment he might be a stopgap? not the qustion. Where does he earn the starting spot and unseat the current roster. And more importantly where can he do that? Where does he fit?

Pretty good list. I'd include Phoenix, (Warner is not going to last long and Lienert hasn't proven anything)

Seattle - a lot of injury problems there with an aging QB.

Baltimore - great defense, but where's the offense?

Tennessee - Kerry is 37 and everybody and his brother is now saying Vince Young can not be an NFL QB.

I would say Minnesota because he could excel there just like excelled this year in Carolina (Until that playoff game) because Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor could open up the pass for him. The only thing Minnesota is missing is that Big Playmaker WR and a decent Quarterback. Jake is a decent Quarterback and was able to excel last year with the help of Double Trouble and of course that Big Playmaker WR Steve Smith.

denver philosophically doesn't pass much, they only have been the past 2 years because they had cutler. delhomme would definitely start on denver.

washington... delhomme is leagues better than jason campbell.

cleveland doesn't have better QB's then jake delhomme.

houston wouldn't take him... schaub is a fine quarterback.

Schaub is good but look what happen when he wen't down and they put in a back up. It was like Houston's version of David Carr with their QB issues when Schaub went down (except for the fact that Schaub wasn't injured for the entire season.)

Throw numbers a side and look at from a different perspective such as..... Where would Jake play after his career in Carolina (Unless he retires as a Panther)

ok..well IMO i dont think any team will take him as the unquestioned starter...maybe as a backup vet..one i think you only can look at teams with good RB..no other team will take him with out that..and i dont see it as a starter...maybe oakland

-too many receivers and no running game

-doubt would unseat Matt in a year and no running game

-Delhomme will never unseat Joe Flacco in Baltimore

-Vince still better option. I doubt Jake could take the job from him much less Collins within a year.

giving the year is a gift and its still tough. If it was come in and unseat right now I doubt there would be any.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
