If Bustle can't use this as a recruiting tool, we in trouble.

I wish I could explain how I spent 3 years and several thousand posts on saintsreport.com touting how good I thought Jake Delhomme was or could be.

I actually had to stay away all season so as not to blow my own horn, all I can say it is kinda cool being right for once in my life.

I can vouch...Turbine has done some SERIOUS Jake-backing on saintsreport. I didn't always agree, but on this night, his hard work and support of the Ragin Cajun came to fruition.

Must be that Abbeville thing. We have ways of being right...*lol*

I don't know too many times when you have not been right Turbine. You have a cool head. Are you sure that you are a Cajun?:confused:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Jake Delhomme has already played in a World Bowl. The Super Bowl sounds much better for the feisty Cajun from Louisiana.

"When we get on the plane tonight when it is just going to be us, our Panther family, it's going to be a lot of proud guys that know that we have worked to get here," Delhomme said. "It's not over yet. That's the big thing. It's not over yet."

Delhomme's numbers weren't all that impressive in the Carolina Panthers' 14-3 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's NFC championship game. Delhomme was only 9-for-14 for 101 yards and a touchdown, but he didn't make many mistakes.

"Jake had to earn our trust and he did," receiver Muhsin Muhammad said. "He was really jacked up for this game and sometimes you cannot understand him when he gets in the huddle with his Cajun accent. He came into the game with a lot of enthusiasm and led us down the field with some great plays."

Delhomme was helped out having running back Stephen Davis, a workhorse back who ran for career-best 1,444 yards this season, in the lineup after missing practice all week with a strained left quadriceps.

Davis said he decided early in the day he would play after talking to his mother and wife. Davis said his quad was sore and planned to relax this week to let it heal.

Davis showed right away the injury wouldn't bother him, opening the game with a 9-yard run and finished with 19 carries for 76 yards.

"That's one of my things, to set the tone on offense," Davis said.

DeShaun Foster, a second-year running back who spent the year as Davis' understudy, had 60 yards on 14 carries and made perhaps the play of the game.

Foster broke four tackles for a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:11 left in the third quarter. The Panthers led 14-3 and were headed to the Super Bowl just two seasons after going 1-15.

Nothing was going to get in the way of his first career rushing touchdown.

"That was basically it, just determination," he said. "It was blocked up fairly well. (Brian) Dawkins made a real good play. He made me cut it up. The rest was just fight and get in the zone."

I posted this question on saintsReport.com and wanted your thoughts as well.

Jakes humility is becoming legendary . . .

I just remember Jake showing the same humility after the Dallas win, and every preseason game, even after his near perfect performance last year in relief.

I'm thinking Haslett takes kindly to a bit of cocky talk, and perhaps views it as sign of mental strength in a player, the sign of a field leader.

You will never get this from Jake, and I'm just wondering if any of you thought this hurt him with ex linebacker Jim Haslett.

Jake is the starting quarterback for a Super Bowl team.

Get over it.
