What does Fox like so much about Delhomme?

[nosuchthingasapanther]

Or maybe Delhomme actually is the best option.

as much as it makes a lot of people choke up a little bit of vomit in the back of their throats, delhomme is the only option if this season has any chance of turning into something positive.

[Zod]

Yep, and Godfrey was the only option at safety because Martin is awful too.

Truth is Fox like to start vets. He hates taking chances. The only way Moore would ever get a start is if Jake is hurt. It has nothing to do with Moore.

This is especially true in the offensive skill positions. Rookie defensive players at least have a shot to start (Beason, Davis, Peppers). I can't remember us ever starting a rookie at any of the offensive skill positions except when Smith was hurt and Colbert had to start. And then Colbert started for years even when he was not productive.

Well, if Moore is a dumbass and has not proven anything in three years we should cut him, period. And if Jake is the QB that offers us the best chance of winning then we are in sorry-ass shape. We beat the Cardinals with Jake having what for any other QB would have been a horrible game; not many pass plays, a 50% completion average, you get the point. We can't have other teams defensive strategies be to pack the box and essentially dare Jake to throw it.

Maybe Moore does stink and Jake is the best option - but this team would be a definite playoff contender IMO if it weren't for our greatest flaw, the guy taking the snaps (fill in the name of whichever of our QBs you like here).

Delhomme hasn't had one good spell this season. He's had meltdown spells and not complete suck spells. All the QBs playing as badly as him have been replaced or are young QBs on bad teams. He's thrown a seasons worth of interceptions in under half a season and we are 30th in pass attempts. When in this season has he shown himself to be the best option? Even young QBs on horrible teams don't turn it over as much as him. Moore would basically have to be the worse starting QB in the league to make Jake look like the best option. What makes people think that would be the case considering the talent he would have to help him?

Your kinda Preaching to the quire here bud. I was just telling you why Jake still starts. The fact is we are stuck with him and Fox will live or die with Jake. Be happy, If Jake Fails and we dont make the plays offs Fox is gone. If Jake dose not fail and dose make the Playoffs you should be happy as well.

John Fox could be a helluva coach if he wasn't so stubborn with some situations.

You know, it might just be that Fox understands that Jake has been in a slump and he knows that it's possible for a football player to go through a slump and then come out of it, even if fans don't. Remember about 4 years ago when everybody and their brother thought Kurt Warner was done as an NFL starting QB? He came back and Jake can too.

Besides that, it can't be said enough that Jake's teammates want him in there probably more than the HC does. Even Matt Moore saved the game ball for Jake after that Arizona win last week and has publicly stated that he's %100 behind Jake Delhomme.

Well when Warner was thought to be washed up he started bouncing from team to team until he got his groove back, Joke is still here. When a good game by Dulhomme is catagorized as 15 for 22 for 120 yds and no INT's we're fked.

Which of the 3 characteristics, defined by Fox, does Moore not have? Leadership, smarts, physical ability.... He might be timid as a leader but I dont discount him on smarts because our playbook isnt that complex and he's young and can move and throw the poo outta the ball. Moore has to push Dulhomme and if he cant, it makes Fox look moore (no pun intended) like an ass for putting up with hime for 3 years.

Don't get me wrong... I'll be watching the game and supporting the team, but if my dick is broke im going to go get some viagra...

Yeah, and WARNER WAS RIGHTFULLY BENCHED DURING HIS SLUMP.

Well, Jake was benched in week 1 and his back ups did nothing but get the hell beaten out of them.

Huh... he wasn't benched he was pulled when the game was outta reach and Fox didn't want him to get injured in a losing effort. I think Moore and Mccown played a hell of a lot better then Jake did anyway.

Seriously? Were you really impressed by how McCown dropped back and got squashed like a bug in about 2.5 seconds that day? Were you also taken aback by how Matt Moore was able to use his athleticism to last an extra .5 seconds longer in the pocket than Delhomme before he either got sacked, threw an incomplete pass, or an INT? Which one impressed you more? Was it all the TD's they didn't score or what?

Does anyone read my post before they start to diss them? Nowhere did I say I was impressed. I said they played better then Jake which isn't very hard recently.
