For you Z.
Jake goes 6 of 7 in 2 minute offense to grab a 7-0 lead over the Cowgirls before half.![]()
I would love nothing more than seeing the Cowgirls lose the first 2 games in Jerry-Land, but as a Who Dat I would also love to see the Panthers continue to lose. I hate games like this.

Geaux Jake!
It's okay to root for Jake until he plays against Brees!

Jake's first win ever as a Pro was against the Cowboys.

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.
