Pro. Jake Delhomme

[Zeebart21]

For you Z.

Jake goes 6 of 7 in 2 minute offense to grab a 7-0 lead over the Cowgirls before half.

I saw it Beau! Forgot it was on...just got up the WV....was getting settled in.

He needs some magic now.... 3rd qtr has been great so far!

_ Nice memory and a little keepsake! _

I think the best part about that game was seeing the spirit that he played with and the spirit he brought to that team. The Saints were having a bad year as Ditka's tenure was winding down. I had been to the previous home game where Jake had just been resigned the week before but did not play. I remember how lethargic the team looked in that game, like they were just dialing it in. A fan in front of me kept saying the Saints need a QB and I told him they have one but he's standing on the sidelines. We had the same seats for the Cowboys game and that same fan was there and could not believe the difference. He kept turning around and looking at me as if he'd just won the lottery. And the same players that looked like they had dialed it in the week before were pumped and animated in the huddle. After the game Kyle Turley was interviewed and asked about Jake's "surprise" performance. Turley responded in his characteristic somewhat surly and disdainful manner to the reporter "We all knew he could play."

Even if Jake's career is winding down now he had his time in the spotlight. It was good to see a guy who slugged it out and worked hard finally get that "Rudy" moment.

_ Was that 98'? That was an excellent game. _

Not sure. I'd have to go find the program but that sounds about right.

Dude is a flat out winner and it rubs off on the players around him!

Curtains... Steve Smith just left Jake out to dry!

After watching this game... it's not so much Jake as it is the whole team.

Not much protection on keys plays and WR's are just not catching the balls.

Smith leaves Jake out to dry.

Carolina can still turn this around. 0-3 into the bye will break you or wake you.

I remember him saying that he knew Blackjack's team was the Cowboys---I think and his going out for the game---great story and his lil prayer to Bill!!!===I could be wrong but I thought that BJ pulled for the Jets!!!

I didn't see the game but what is meant by leaving him out to dry?????

Jake threw a quick slant in Smith's direction, but Smith looked as if he was going towards the sideline instead. Resulted in an interception. The WRs dropped key passes throughout the game, you can tell Jake wanted this win.
