"I don't know that and even if I did I probably wouldn't announce it quite yet," Fox said at his weekly press conference Monday at Bank of America Stadium. "We'll evaluate it and see who gives us the best chance heading out to Arizona... We'll do whatever it takes for us to start developing some confidence in the (passing) game, whether that is staying the same or making a change or if there's a viable option or not, those are all things we're evaluate just like we do at all positions. Sometimes it's a matter of executing better like our run game was a couple of weeks ago."

sounds like Delhomme starts to me

So how bad does Jake have to play in order to get benched? This Arizona game can either be Jake's wakeup call, or it could be the nail in the coffin if he lets the AZ playoff game enter his mind. I'd love to see Jake have a great game, but based on what we've seen the last couple of weeks if Arizona stops the run it's gonna be a long day again. One positive is our Defense is stout as of now, MAYBE Meeks will actually double Fitzgerald, or at least have the guys play in front of him instead of letting him run wild.

"We moved the ball and threw the ball well at times, but at the end of the day when it is four turnovers to none it's not a good formula in the National Football League. And that wasn't just all the quarterback play or the offense."- John Fox

J. Delhomme 27 44 325 61.4 7.4 2 16 0 3 55.6 <<< Jake's stat line from yesterday.

That right there is what pisses me off every week. Fox talks after every loss about turnovers killing us! Jake had 3 turnovers BY HIMSELF! How about growing a pair Fox and at least state the obvious? Is it really that hard? How can you win games when your starting QB turns the ball over an average of twice per game????

Any sane person can see that Delhomme's confidence is shaken, BAD!! Foxy has too much loyalty and it makes him look incompetent. Does he not understand that by benching Jake that could help him recoup by taking the pressure off of him to perform each week. John, If you bench him, that doesn't mean you can't bring him back out whenever you want. Give Delhomme a breather for a couple games. He obviously has had a rough year and needs a mental vacation on the bench. He's over thinking the position at this point.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
