Jake's replacement

(Prove me wrong Jake)

After seeing Cassel's success this season (seriously, 11-5 is pretty good playing in the AFC East), I think we should give Matt Moore a real shot to see if he can git'ur'done. Not saying we shouldn't draft a QB -- we should, just in case Moore wilts under pressure. But he looked all right when he got in last year, and I've got a good feeling.

Still haven't completely given up on Jake but it's clear we need a plan if we're going to stay competitive.

We have to address the QB position. Jake can manage games and win some but is not consistent at all. I mean how many games over the years do we need to see to know that this position is a real need. He is not the worst in the league, but can we really win three playoff games with this guy. 100 rating game followed by a 34.

Honestly, you can call me a jock sniffer, but you can't blame this all on Delhomme. Yes, sh*tty throws, and yes, bad decisions, but the defense hasn't played great either. Really? Fitzgerald had 151 yards in the first half...give me a break.

Jake is a large part of it, but I don't want to give up on him just yet.

WHAT?! 4 turnovers and great field position isn't even giving the defense a fuging chance. This game is Jake Delhomme's fault, plain and simple. There is no silver lining, there is no good side to this.

Draft The Golden Calf of Bristol, The Golden Calf of Bristol has never single-handedly lost the game for his team.

WTF ever, the defense is playing great considering their morale is in the gutter. They really only gave up ONE touchdown. And has held them to field goals on the rest.

You are right it's not all Jake's fault. He can't help he just plain SUCKS some days. It's FOX's fault for not picking up on that like the rest of us did in the 2nd quarter and stop letting Delhomme win the game.

We are a running team right? Where the fug are our run plays? You panic in the 2nd quarter and give up the run game?

Honestly, as great as Fox did for as this season, it's not all his credit. ANY fuging coach can come in there and do what Foxd did with the talent that is on this team, as long as he gets a new QB.

    • Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true. 
    • Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.   
    • I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
