Goodbye David Gettis

[teeray]

Now after posting and reading all this.

1. Chris Wenkie should have been the starter.

2. Jake only played well in the last preseason game and we all know the last preseason game means nothing.

3. Do you have any links to stories about Jake at TC?? Which I remember Jake not being very good at Practice.

4. Still doesn't change the fact that some very good players aren't great "practice players"

Like this guy

who rarely has a good preseason.

So now you have gone from saying Jake was "so bad in the preseason" to "Weinke should have been the starter" and the tried and true "derp if you take away game X he really wasn't that good"

But to your Gettis point, since Weinke had to that point been more productive than Jake in real games added to the fact that you think he outplayed Jake in preseason, wouldn't Weinke starting be your exact position at the time?

And Jake was good at practice. So good the coaches were anxious to get him in the game and did so after only one half in Jacksonville.

Judging from your earlier posts your memory isn't that good so forgive me if I don't rely on your recollection of training camp 10 years ago.

And by most accounts Cam looked pretty good at camp, although not as good in preseason games.

So he does seem to practice well.

Wienke is a great coach.

You posted the links.

 

It shows that Jake didn't do anything until the 4th preseason game. Even then Wenkie started that game.

 

From your links Wenkie had better numbers in more games then Jake.

 

 

We weren't talking about Wenkie though, we were talking about Peete and Delhomme. The fact that Peete couldn't throw a touchdown pass and didn't lead but 1-2 touchdown drives in his playing time and how Delhomme played better. While not much better it was still better and if you count the 4th game that Peete looked meh in, Delhomme was a lot better.

Can you not read the stats?? Jake only did well in the last preseason game.

 

He threw 3 passes against the Redskins. Was a non factor against the Giants and was bad vs the Pack.

 

What stats are you looking at??

 

And I'm still waiting for stories from TC that year.

No what we were talking about is Jake being a bad practice player but a better Game time player. And By your link Jake did nothing until the last preseason game.

 

Stop making Peete a part of this and you still haven't linked stories of Jake at TC to say he was a great practice player.

Finding story's from 10 years ago will be next to impossible for training camps, I can give you more recent ones where Jake looked amazing in practice and camp. Right before his elbow gave out to be exact.... 

 

 

You made Peete a part of this by saying Jake Was so horrible that he was given the starting job by default. When Peete had the job because he was a vet coming off a solid season and that meant more to John Fox then pretty much anything Delhomme could have done in camp and pre season.

"Did nothing until..." >>>>> did nothing at all.

By the way, that one game he was 11/11 with 2TDs.

Peete led us to zero touchdowns that preseason (I think) He had no TD passes that preseason.

I don't need links, I was a fan

That "only game he played well" totally eclipsed everyone else and was the reason Peete was replaced so quickly.

Yes he looked great in the last preseason game. Which most people who know Football means nothing!!!!

 

He Played against no starters in the final game against players on the bubble and Camp bodies.

 

Again I'm waiting on articles from TC that year.

No Jake was so bad in TC and did nothing in game time until the last preseason game.

 

That he never won the Job from Peete who as already 1 of Fox's boys.

 

That what I was saying and agian show me proof Jake was a great practice player.

Again did nothing until >>>>>> did nothing at all.

But if you need proof, you said yourself that Weinke outplayed him in preseason, so why do you think he still won the #2 QB spot? Because of practice.

Why do you think he was inserted so quickly into the Jaguars game? Because of practice.

- The Browns have plenty of things to worry about before the season opener Sept. 12 in Tampa, but quarterback Jake Delhomme isn't one of them.

Delhomme, who's expected to sit out most of Thursday night's preseason finale against the Bears, has exceeded expectations this preseason. He's completing 79.2 percent of his passes, (38-of-48 for 345 yards), has thrown two touchdowns without an interception, has been sacked only once and has earned a quarterback rating of 110.5.

In Detroit, he put points on the board on three of his five possessions, counting the one-play drive on a lost fumble.

"He's been outstanding the whole preseason," said coach Eric Mangini. "He's pretty close to 80 percent completion, and the way that he runs the offense and gets us into a good play when we're not necessarily in the best situation, that's what I'm looking for out of our quarterback -- to be efficient and also be a really good decision-maker."

In one half of work in Detroit, Delhomme completed 20 of 25 attempts for 152 yards with one touchdown for a 105.3 rating. He spread the ball around out of the no-huddle offense to 10 receivers, hitting Mohammed Massaquoi with a seven-yard pass on a fourth and 2, Evan Moore with a 22-yarder, Brian Robiskie with a 23-yarder and Josh Cribbs with a impressive 30-yarder up the left sideline that led to a TD.

 

 

In Jake's preseason career he had 14 TDs and only 3 INTs in usually limited appearances being usually QB1.

 

Is that enough proof that he was a good practice player??

So he did well in Cleveland where he ended up the back-up.

Also those numbers are better then Cam's preseason numbers.

 

But who is the better QB??

 

 

Teeray for the last fuging time not every great player is a great practice player ask this guy
