Are people really STILL defending the decision to stick with Jake going into '09?

[ChucktownK]

For a grand, will someone shoot Fox, Jake, and Hurney in the leg?

No but I'll gladly shoot some of the posters here so we can exorcise the demons.

[JungleCat]

I've got no problem with replacing Jake. Just not with Vick or anyone else's problem leftovers. Draft one or hire one but damn it, be good.

[Mr. Scot]

Just to clarify, what SMF interprets as "supporting the decision to keep Jake" is actually just disagreeing that Michael Vick would be a better option.

Those two things don't actually equate :nonod:

5 grand?

[ChucktownK]

OK

[Fiz]

there was no obvious better upgrade

[Kevin Greene]

Isn't Charlie Dayton "Technically" a spokesman?

Jake is technically our quarterback.

[KillerKat]

Gee, he must be a blind moron too if he can't see that in practice.

Yeah cause Jake sure is lighting it up on Sundays...

[AceMan]

I think half of the people STILL have some type of hope that Jake plays decent enough that he doesn't tarnish his legacy with Carolina. Right now, we are the laughing stock of the league for keeping this guy in. Worst starter in the league.

Who the hell pays a back-up QB 20 mil with no future with the team.

I say let Delhomme finish tarnishing his career here. Then get rid of him and Fox.

ding ding ding!!! Or suggesting that we should have taken Quinn because of his one good game this week over beason/kalil. And even better he had to start a whole new thread to hope to get some attaboys with his distortion of the argument. Classic.

But one reason that Jake is the guy in there instead of Moore on Sundays is because Moore hasn't shown himself to be a better option (in Fox's opinion)during practice.

[CRA]

Fox is proving to you that Moore is not capable of performing by not playing him and by overreacting when McCown went down and putting him on IR.

Sadly, Delhomme is our best option RIGHT NOW. Not the future but for now.

No. That isn't proof.

Moore was the best QB in 07(after Jake went down).......and Fox was finally forced to play him. Fox thought Carr and Vinny were better options. Now I can't blame him for not starting Moore very early.....but there came a point in time in that season where Moore looked to be the best option and Fox didn't pull the trigger.....it took an injury to force him.

Jake Delhomme is no longer Jake Delhomme. Jake Delhomme is a better option than Moore. This "2009 Jake Delhomme" isn't better than any starting QB in the NFL.....and I would guess 75% of backups could play slightly better than he has this season.

[Sandy Claws]

Interesting how some point to Moore in '07 and his 85 passer rating as a starter (67 overall) as the reason to start him over Delhomme who had a 110+ rating with that same team. Delhomme is not what he was but, for some reason. everybody wants to assume that Moore has improved. Of course, the only ones that know for sure are the ones that have seen him play. You know the guys, the ones that see him everyday in practice.

yeah, the same guys who thought there was no better option than Godfrey this year........
