Appreciation For Jake Delhomme


Vertical Asymtope

Recommended Posts

moron, you JUST joined, right after we get our biggest win of the season and all you can do is piss and moan and make ignorant, asinine statements that are getting you laughed off the board.

go pop a cold one and enjoy the win.

Please point out where I complained. Please point out anything I said that wasn't true. I have facts to back up my point that Jake is very average this year. You have your opinion and what you perceive as him "leading" the team to wins.

They also loved Deshaun Foster for how many years? Or how about loving Carr as our backup?

Pretty ridiculous to love a QB who is average by every measure available. Oh right, he's got "leadership". The QB of a team, especially established veterans are generally leaders on their teams. It's not unique to Jake.

Who's "they" the team or the fans? Sure fans have faves, but I care about the players' and coaches' opinions and the players and coaches believe in him. I.E. Before this game Pep told ESPN that Jake is THE engine of this team.

Also, I don't agree that most QBs are leaders except in name only. At least GOOD or GREAT ones. Great leadership is very, very rare.

when jake doesnt have mistakes he is above average imo. sometimes well above. but damn the mistakes seam to come all at once or alot in 1 game. i am not on the matt moore = savior bandwagon. maybe yes, but i would love to see us bring in another young guy to push him. he could be baz, or better, too little time to tell (that includes last year in such limited action).

you dismissed leadership qualities as 'blah blah blah' which automatically redirects your opinon to the dumbass bin. that's a fact for you.

I see you just ignore my questions and what facts do you have? Your main argument is that if Jake played better in the first three quarters he wouldnt need comeback wins. I am not even sure what that means.

Brilliant.

I never realized how bad guys like John Elway, Brett Favre, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Tom Brady really sucked until I read that post.

So what if they led a bunch of fourth quarter comebacks? If they would have played better the other three quarters they wouldn't have needed those comebacks.

I feel much more enlightened now :)

Jake isn't in the same league as those guys and you know it. Comebacks are only a part of those guys claims to greatness. It's all Jake has that's supposed to make him better than average.

Didn't say he was. Just brought those names up to how how ludicrous your argument was. You pretty much destroyed any credibility you could conceivably have had when it comes to football knowledge.

jake is the man.

he aint pretty but there isn't anyone i would rather right now have as a part of our team.

drew brees is the ideal QB in many eyes but he can't get his team(s) to rise up like jake can.

give me jake over brees any day.

if you have seen him in person up close the way that he is with the team and the way they ALL look to him both on offense and defense.....whether at a game, practice, training camp.....you would know why. he pushes those guys. he pushes smith. he pushes everyone and they look for it.

much of what makes smith as good as he is has to do with the impact that his QB has.

Here are my facts

Jake Delhomme

17th in passing yards

25th in completion %

16th in touchdowns

tied for 9th most interceptions

21st QB rating

Why? Because I think comebacks are grossly overrated when judging a QB? Just like wins, comebacks have to be team efforts. Doesn't do any good to comeback if your defense just allows your opponent to pull a comeback on you. I also hate judging QBs on wins and especially Super Bowl wins. QBs get far too much credit and blame most of the time for wins and losses in my opinion.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
