Delhomme

Yep, no denying it wasn't one of his better games. Overthrows and the fumbles hurt. And yes, he held on to the ball way too long considering his line couldn't block 4 grannie's yesterday. It was a team loss though. Jake was off, the running was nothing, the OL stunk all day basically and the D had two major letdowns (Deuce's run and the Horn TD). We were 1-7 and had a shot at the playoff's on the last weekend. After the first 8 weeks I'm fucking happy to be able to say that

 

Rosinskigate was all Delhomme's fault, I've known about for 3 weeks but I ain't posting it on the message board.

 

are you joking around, or is this something i'll just have to trust you on?

 

He's all that and a steaming hot bowl of jumblia!

 

Broke 60% completion percentage.

He's my postseason homey.

 

I'm just tired of seeing the highlight of his ass hanging out.

Expect to see it a lot this week, though

 

yep. bump for Pro Bowl, too.

60% isn't easy in this offense.

 

Anyone still think that Brad Johnson for $2 million a year wouldn't have been better than Delhomme for $10 million a year?


And Jake played pretty well yesterday, but the game may have been a hell of a lot different if Ronnie Heard hadn't dropped that gift interception that would have been easily returned for a touchdown. Foster had his long run on the next play so most people forgot about that play, but it was another example of Jake making a bone-headed throw right to a defender sitting in the flat without looking first. Had Heard not dropped the easy TD, Atlanta would have led 10-7 at the end of the first quarter instead of trailing 14-3.

 

Yeah, I'd still rather have Jake than Brad, with the age and injury history, and lack of arm strength for this offense. I would not have been, or would be, comfortable with him as a starter. I give him credit for coming off the bench and making Minnesota respectable, but given his age and recent history coming into the season, no, I don't think that would have been wise.
