Pro. Jake Delhomme

[RaginDave]

Metry, you are correct, the Saints overcame one of the biggest bonehead moves in there history (which might I add, they have many of) by landing Drew Brees, the problem is had Jake gotten the start late in the season in 2004, then the Saints would have probably kept Jake the following season as the starter and they would not have gone backwards before they had to go forward.

This has worked out the best for Jake, the Saints and myself. I moved to Charlotte the same season that Jake started for Carolina and have been a fan ever since. Jake may have struggled in mediocraty with the Saints because of there terrible ownership and management that has plauged them for decades, Jake was able to go to work for Marty Hurney and John Fox who despite terrible injuries are a franchise that has wanted to....and plan to win every year since there inception, while the Saints have had 40 years of debacles to look back on.

I am glad Jake made the move and I hope he wins a Super Bowl, reality is he will have a better chance in Charlotte then I believe Brees will ever have in New Orleans and believe me, i think Brees is a better QB, no slight to Jake, but Drew is one of the top 5 in the NFL, Jake is in the top half of QB's. But a couple of things will help Jake over Drew.

1 Ownership and Management--Panthers win by a landslide.
2 Talent at QB--Drew by a little bit
3 Desire and Heart--Both have it, but I believe Jake has more, he has fought for it longer, proving in HS, College, World League and NFL is the example of that. Remember Jake arrived at UL as the #5 QB on the roster after recieving very little offers and started for 4 years. Jake continuilly got cut by the Saints cause they are retarded.
4 Talent around the QB--PANTHERS, PANTHERS, PANTHERS
5 Intangibles---JAKE, JAKE, JAKE

Bottom Line, Jake is better off, as are the Saints and Panthers then they were in 2004. But us fans of both teams are even better off for having the ability to watch Jake and Drew play for our favorite teams.

_ Today is the 5th anniversary of Jake's first game as a Panther when he engineered his 1st game winning drive...

Today was his 14th.

Oh yeah brah.... Aaron Brooks was WAY better. _

i'm all for jake, always was, except when it comes to the saints. to be a little more objective about it, i can remember when the panthers, cowboys, and a little bit the saints, were the only teams who were seriously interested in jake. so, it was more than just the saints who passed on him. truth be told, when the saints picked him up and gave him a shot, i don't remember him being on anybody else's roster. the saints were alone with at least having him on the roster. that tells me that a whole lotta of other teams weren't willing to make him their starter, including the panthers. i agree with the whole argument about the saints "shoulda kept jake." but that is easily said by a partisan fan (like me) who's got the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. we have our quarterback in brees, who is surrounded by excellent ofensive players just as jake is. to say who has the better would be conjecture and opinion. i wish jake well. he made his money. but his team is my enemy. i will let it go at that. geaux saints!

Interesting day. Who's 2-0 in the NFC South now?

Looks like a three-way tie for second at 1-1.

Or.... a three way tie for last...
Wait till the NFC gets a load of Steve Smith...

Jake is the face of our program.

Why? Is he going to start punching out CB's during his routes to get open?
