Post Mortem on Delhomme (this game, and maybe his career)

[Kevin Greene]

Until last night Delhomme had the number 3 QB rating all time in the playoffs.

I think blame needs to be shared with whoever let Fitzgerald run route after route with no one within 5 yards of him. Davidson for abandonning the run, DWill had 12 touches for 63 yards. Sometimes 3 and out and a punt is the best play. You have to see what you have during a game and adjust, if Jake is struggling, protect him like a rookie.

Pound the rock, play defense. Panthers did neither last night and it's why they lost.

Dude do you know how much bullshit that philosophy is???? This is a guy that is supposed to be a veteran and he got beat by a team that stacked the box to stop the freakin RUN! Every INT he threw was into double and triple coverage...he self-destructed and took the team with him. Saying to "protect" him after he has a 40 million dollar contract to LEAD this team is absolutely absurd he should be able to make a throw or two against a D that is at best average...

Point is, I'd have taken the burden off Delhomme's shoulders if he's struggling. In game adjustments, we don't do it. You can flap your arms this morning and shout release Delhomme, but you don't get too many 12 win seasons in he NFL. We had our shot last night and the entire team stunk it up. Coaching at the top of the list.

Pound the rock and play defense is a bad philosophy....interesting. :out:

What we should've stuck with and what got us to our 12 wins in the first place.

Here's what Sports Illustrated had in their game grades:

"Quarterbacks: Easiest grade I have ever given. Delhomme could not have possibly played worse with five interceptions and a costly fumble. It will be tough for him to ever live down this night. Grade: F"

Not a surprise.

Why dose everyone expect Jake to be Payton or Elway. Look he had less picks this year then he did in the 03 season. The lack of adjustments to the Playcalls was our down fall. Hell even when Jake called Smoke to Smith there was someone there in the passing lane to pick it off. When there was someone open yep there was a defender blocking the passing lane. We did not use boots or shotgun nope we threw out of the Damn I formation. Hell you could have gone Max protect in the shotgun and at least gave jake 3 to 4 sec to throw the ball with a clear passing lane.
