Jake is still the man....

I think it's something the coaching staff will take a long, hard look at. Do I want him back? Yeah, and I'll always stand by the guy, even after I wanted to kill the guy after his 6 turnovers last night. But blaming one person for a loss is quite ridiculous, as it was really an all-around failure by the organization. Without the turnovers would we have won? Possibly, but it isn't exactly Jake's fault that the team abandoned the run and played a soft zone against Fitz.

I'm not a Jake fan but seriously. He had a bad game. Worst time to have one but still. Look at Eli today. He had a horrible game (not as bad as jake) but still a bad game. If he comes back next year playing really good what are you going to say?

Our WHOLE team is one dimensional and that needs to be fixed by out COACHES.

Not just a bad game, it was his 7th.

Delhomme had a bad year. He did everything in his power to lose to the lowly Raiders. People bring up the last quarter heroics the first two weeks against San Diego and Chicago, but most fail or refuse to point out that it was the fact that Delhomme was awful the first 3 quarters of both those games that necessitated a 4th quarter come-back in the first place. He has always been average to mediocre, save for the fluke start to last year. He is what he is, he wont improve, he can only go down.

Half the time he's the reason we need a comeback in the first place. Yay?

yep...

and how many times has smitty made a miraculous double coverage catch to put us into FG position to win the game?

Everyone gives all the credit to Jake for his comebacks, but without Smitty's heroics.......

See Green Bay, at New Orleans, Arizona (Game one)

    • 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.
