Just wanted to address some things certain circles think people are oblivious to:

Jake Delhomme is not very good this year: Really? What clued you in? Was it the 10 interceptions in 5 games or the 4th worse passer rating in the NFL? That someone doesn’t have you scouting for their team is a f**king tragedy.

Like it or not, NFL QB’s are a rare commodity and for various reasons we don’t have a ready replacement. Before you start weeping and wailing, how many NFL teams do have a replacement QB at the ready? How bout the Titans with their first round bench warmer who, every time he plays, shows why he’s been warming the bench. How bout the Redskins and Browns, who both have had to sit their first round picks in favor of, well, not much better.

Little life lesson for you: It’s hard to find a NFL caliber QB. Very hard. And before you even start, for every Joe Flacco there is a Jason Campbell, Brady Quinn or JP Losman. Could we have drafted a few more QB’s in the later rounds? Sure. Doesn’t mean we wouldn’t be in the same position we are now. How bout the first round. Same but worse, really. Again, with the picks we had, we would face a 75% chance of total failure.

Our play calling is as conservative as an Amish date: Yes. Somehow after 7 years of watching John Fox, somehow we all missed this. And you mean now that he can’t trust his QB, it’s even more conservative? SHOCKING!!!!

Foxball has worked more often than it hasn’t (can’t deny the guy’s got a winning record), and anytime we try to get cute, it tends to blow up in our face (Gamble lateral in 06 anyone?). The conservative play calling becomes obvious when, as is happening now, the team cannot execute. It’s kinda like Mediterranean food: When you have shitty ingredients, it shows. But, just like with Mediterranean food, when the ingredients are good, it’s some of the best stuff on Earth.

Danny Crossman is a moron: Yeah. I got nothin’.

Seriously, what do you think you are bringing to the discussion when you point out for the 74,584th time that Jake can't throw the long ball? Did you think the rest of us missed it?

If you want to vent, go on Oprah.

New Slogan for Foxball... its like Mediterranean food. And Jake Delhomme is the rotten hummus that makes the pita taste like poo.

Nice Post.

People are going to be bashing you for stating the obvious soon.

waits on Raging Bull to raise hell about drafting a 1st round QB.

didnt rothlesberger beat that last year? or am i thinking of harrison's 101-yard return being the longest play in SB history

Yep, it was Harrison. Big Ben didn't break Jake's SB record. At least I don't think anyone done that yet.

And yes Zod, Oprah has a nice rack. I thought you don't watch her show beside seeing her rack. :P

The problem is that if you point out the things in DH's initial post, and don't make signs and picket on Mint Street to trade for the flavor of the week, trade away the player who underperformed this week according to expectations or at least posting en masse to share your idea (no matter how ridculously unrealistic either cap wise or draft pick wise it would be to get said flavor or trade the underperformer for substantial value), then that means you are "happy with mediocrity" or "clinging to the past and wearing a 2003 NFC Championship shirt".
