Can I Speak My Opinion On Delhomme

[beastson]

I dont put the blame all on him. Yes, I do know its been some games this year where the focus just wasn't there. Sat. was a day where the marbles wasn't there. But I dont blame it all on him

Since Jake been our starter, 06 was the year like Jake might be fallen off. He started of ok, but towards the end he just kept throwing INT when we tried to pull one out. Then he got injured. Other than that, its been average and above (Yes I know his numbers was better that year, than his FIRST year)

But people ask what happened from last year and this year. One is the arm of course. But after watching highlights last year, Jake had more throwing options. Kinda remind me of 04, where we was so decimated, that he just started throwing it around. Moose at age 31 had a phenomenal year, Colbert in his rookie year showed us promise for the year, had Ricky and even our starting RB. Nick Goings had more receptions than Ricky. The numbers was more balanced. Last year, we just didnt have any good receivers but Smith. Dropped passes here and there. But he still threw it to them. Vinny, Carr, & Moore, we went 3-4 WR. sets. Shotgun formation. Rosario in as WR. sometimes. Check the highlights, we did it a lot times. But it seem like since our running game has went through a major improvement, we dont even know what spread the field mean

I always said inactivating and not going 4-5 WR. would hurt us. That was so stupid to keep inactivating one player. Then dont use our 3rd WR that we do activate. We didnt do it in preseason and game 1, but then we just started doing it. Re-Watch the Cards game, ALL OF JAKE INT CAME FROM THROWING TO MOOSE & SMITH. That's a big FACT. Same play, I-Formation, playaction, 2 WR. The Cards knew we would do that. I said right before the game, Jarrett & Hackett would be key. Its like a waste of money and draft pick. We made their defense look so GREAT

I think if we put more receivers in and actually run plays for them. Tell him the ball goes here, there, and here. I think Jake does his best like that, with multiple options. Cause Jake tends to lock on very easily. Now would you blame that all on him or our scheme and how we do things

[Jangler]

I think it is the scheme and that Davidson abandoned the run so quickly. Unless it was Fox that panicked. I guess we will really never know cuz Fox will always say it was him. I agree about more 4-5 WR recievers though. The 2 TEs were not the way to go. And yet they stuck with it all year. It still amazes me, how fast we abandoned the run being down only 7 points. Of all the things to change the running aspect of it was not the way. Well, maybe Davidson or Fox can take the summer and study new and exciting ways to at least work in 3 WR packages on a regular basis and get Jake to look down his progressions. If he has the OLine (hopefully) to protect him and give him the time to do so, but he gets so focused on one that it is hurting the team.

I guess only time will see if anybody besides us Winter/Spring/Summer QBs can figure it out...

[E CaT PanTHer]

I completely agree. I mean the fact that Fox consistently puts Jarrett and Hackett on the inactive list week in and week out speaks tremendously of Delhomme and his abiliities as a QB.

I completely agree. I mean the fact that Fox consistently puts Jarrett and Hackett on the inactive list week in and week out speaks tremendously of Delhomme and his abiliities as a QB.

I know the reasoning is so we can how three TEs on game day or an additional DL. But how often do we use those three TEs? We barely throw to our second one let alone to our third, so the only reason for that is so that we can use them on special teams, goal line formations and power running. That will subsequently make us even more one dimentional and cause Delhomme to have to complete even more passes to Smith and Moose...
