Delhomme #40 NFL QB All-time?

Recommended Posts

According to this website http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=1808 Jake Delhomme has been doing pretty well with what he's been given with. Sorry if this has already been posted but I found this pretty interesting. By combining statistics based on how well the defense is for each qb's team and their win-loss percentage, #17 is #7 in current qbs and #40 of alltime qbs. Slowly I'm starting to forget and forgive Arizona.

Maybe its the anticipation of the new season, or maybe I'm realizing he's pulled out more wins than has lost us games, but he's a much better qb then most Panther fans give him credit for. I haven't seen a game like Arizona ever from Jake. I think he just needs a strong #2, with the current game plan the only reliable receiver is #89.

I've been researching statistics like crazy, watching games on all sorts of teams, and I'll be honest, Jake is much better than we gave him credit for. He's not ever going to be an elite QB, but to suggest he's the problem just doesn't work.

10 years after Delhomme retires he will be a legend in Carolina.

It will be; "back when Delhomme was the QB", blah, blah, blah.....

Folks just dont realize how hard it is to find QB's.

Look throughout history any you can only name a handful of elite QB's. They just dont fall off tree's.

One day we will get our "Tom Brady", but I will stand behind our Jake Delhomme until he cant win games. And thats something he has always done!!!

I think that's part of it right there.

I think a lot of people love "pretty" type QBs like Bledsoe who had near perfect mechanics threw a nice ball etc. However, I watched Bledsoe long enough to know he was like a Ferrari with a Yugo engine. Sure he would rack up some pretty yardage stats, but he wasn't coachable, he would never work on his game to get better and many, many times when he needed to make plays, all that would happen was INTs. Even very late in his career when he was in Dallas, Parcells had to manage him and have him read only one side of the field. Parcells knew his limitations and could work with them.

There's nothing really "pretty" about the way Jake plays. Can the guy get the job done most of the time, does his team believe in him and does he help his team win and help them all be better? That's all that matters...those type of results/attributes. And those can't be quantified by how pretty it looks.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
