How can anyone seriously defend Jake? It's not the turnovers that kill me its the fact that he can't hit the broad side of a barn with a pass. His accuracy is TERRIBLE, his arm strength is TERRIBLE and most of all he stares down his target so bad the opposing defense know where the ball is going every single pass. I am so tired of people defending the guy, plain and simple he sucks as much as any quarterback in the history of the NFL has sucked and with our running game the QB here should be putting up 350 yards a game passing. The opposing teams are daring us to throw the ball and he can not do it. That is all I need to know that the guy sucks the big one.

We've seen this before. I think it was three seasons ago? Maybe four. Lovie Smith kept sticking with Rex Grossman week in and week out, even after QB Rating games under 10. He finally pulled the plug. Orton wasn't any better but it took weeks for Smith to admit he was wrong and to stop being bullheaded.

Its funny when people try to say the fumbles and throws werent his fault. One thing that del doesn't do that contributes to the fumbles and air throws is he never steps in the pocket. Seriously watch tape of him and all the throws that hang to long or all the sacks ffs are when he refuses to step back in the pocket. You guys notice when our de's always run around and barely get a hand on a qb its because the qb knows to step up in the pocket after a 3 or 5 step drop. Jake refuses and therefore its a automatic sack or fumble and on the throws he doesn't step in and plant his foot. All that talk of dodge stuff at tcamp didn't do a thing but make delhomme worse. Im black and don't like stereotypes but when this one black dude at my job said black folk gonna stop buying chickin I had to laugh. If you are white you cant tell that joke lol. Anyways lookn foward to tony pike at the top of round 2!

Jake played terrible against Philly....he was good against Atlanta....he was mediocre against Dallas.

However, jake is not the reason the offense is struggling. That award goes to the Offensive Line. They are getting no push in run blocking and can't seem to block any blitz in pass protection.

Awesome. Can't wait for more Jake/ hopelessness.

Fox knows what we know. This is his last year. Starting Moore is what's best for the team - gives us some hope, motivates the players, builds for the future, etc.

It's just not what's best for him. He won't be part of building for the future when there is no future for him.

Wait what?

If he thought he would win more games with Moore and he was trying to save his job then he would start Moore, no?

How does playing Moore:

A)Give hope? In the 3 games Moore played in 07, he was average at best and crap against Dallas(no shocker, they had seen him) with a playbook that would be simple even by high school standards. He has been awful since, in both preseason and the regular season.

B)Motivate players? Bringing in a guy who cant beat out Josh McCown or AJ Feely for the 2nd string and who the coaching staff refuses to bring in unless its a last resort(understandable, considering he has looked awful in both the preseason and regular season when he has got a chance, since 2007).

C)Build for the future? Moore isnt a starter in the NFL, on a bad team he might be a 2nd stringer, but more than likely he is destined to be a career 3rd string QB. He has little talent and even less upside/potential. He was average in college and for a long time was hated by Oregon State fans because of his poor play(including fans/boosters calling for the coaches job if Moore continued to start IIRC). The kid has a meh arm and poor accuracy, and went undrafted for a reason. He simply isnt very good.

Unfortunatley, with as inconsistent as Jake has been - he's still the best QB we have.

That's a knock on Fox and Hurney as well, any team with a QB in his mid 30's should make it a priority to line up his replacement (see Aaron Rodgers).

they just talked about the status of delhomme on PTI. Missed it anyone see it?
