Pro. Jake Delhomme

_ We do??? And all this time I was thinking the Manning's were a pretty cool family. I'm gonna have to pay more attention to who I should be hating. Thanks for the heads up. _

Dude those that say anything about the Mannings have nothing but bad to say. And yes often it is because Archie would not let them play for good old LSWho.

If you claim this is something you have not heard, then you don't listen to much sports radio.

I don't understand the god like status he has in NOLA. _

Archie has been a model citizen from day one. He is a class act, and has never brought any disrespect on his university, New Orleans, or the Saints. He was the lone consistent bright spot on that miserable team for over a decade.

Met Archie at JC Penny one day after he was finished signing autographs for the little kids in the Lake Side Mall. He took time with me and my boys for no other reason than to be nice. God Like no, but he is one class individual and does not deserve the kind of crap the typical LSU fan throws at him. I guess it might have to do with those two loses he hung on their behinds. They had a far superior team all three seasons to Ole Miss.

Watching number 18 running, and passing, those blue Ole Miss jerseys flowing in the wind. He was unique in college then. Before Vick, before Mitchell, before Young.

Not a jab, I just think you are far too young to even offer this opinion about his God Like status?

"...then you don't listen to much sports radio. _

"Dude", I have said things bout the Manning and none of it has been bad. In fact, most of my LSU friends think Archie was a Saint. So, take that! lol

You are right bout one thing...I don't listen "to much sports radio." There was a study I saw in a medical journal which listed sports talk radio as a cause of the loss of brain cells.

Buffallo Bills former head coach called sports radio "mental masterbation"

I always thought that that was fun..

_ There are a lot of things wrong with the Panthers , but Delhomme ain't one . And if it comes to Carr , then their season is pretty much over .have you seen that dude throw the ball ? I'm no expert on QB throwing mechanics but something is off in the way he throws the ball ..i just can't place my finger on it . And people talk about Delhomme being on the hot seat , what about John Fox ? All those ridiculous quarterback draws on third and long ...blech . _

Jake's fortunate Carr is his backup. He made too many mistakes last year and hasn't looked that good in the last 2 pre-season games.

In fairness though, you are right about the play calling and his line and defense aren't helping much either.

I've been a Saints fan since I can remember and a fan of through all those Archie years. I could care less about his sons going to LSU. I thought he would send both to Ole Miss and hoped he would encourage them to become Saints. I seem to remember him saying something to the effect he didn't want to see Peyton involved in the organization. However at the time who could blame him. I agree he has been a model citizen and New Orleans in turn has been very good to him. I would like to see Peyton in the black and gold one day but until then we will ride the Gulf Bress!

Regardless of your personal likes and dislikes the radio talk shows about sports have been one of the major drivers of interest and growth of the sports venues. Why? Because newspapers come out once a day, local TV gives um about a minute, and national TV is not local. Hap Gaudi is my idol as someone who knew sports and knew how to deal with the fans.

I think it would be presumptive to say most LSU fans hate Archie, but believe me they are a strong, large group. And most of that group do think he somehow was obliged to send his kids to LSU, thus the dislike.

The last time that the Carolina Panthers won their season opener, little-known Jake Delhomme had taken over at halftime for Rodney Peete and led a comeback win to kick off a magical Super Bowl run. Four years later, a seasoned and more-criticized Delhomme was nearly flawless in the Panthers’ 27-13 win against St. Louis that ended the team’s streak of three straight opening losses and quieted talk about backup David Carr taking over. “He adjusted in the pocket and made some big throws,” Coach John Fox said yesterday. “A couple other instances in the game I thought he did an excellent job of avoiding the rush and making the next best thing happen.” Delhomme was 18 of 27 for 201 yards and three touchdowns. There were none of the damaging mistakes or interceptions that plagued him last season. His 125.7 passer rating was fourth-best in the league. The rest of the story

In the long run, it looks like it worked out for both teams. Jake got a starting job, one Super Bowl appearance and two NFC Championship game appearances, and the Saints now have Drew Brees and their first ever NFC Championship appearance last season.
