Pro. Jake Delhomme

_ Id rather have the QB that just wins baby! How many Superbowls has Brees gotten the Saints to? How many Superbowls has Jake led his team to?

Nuff said!

GEAUX UL! _

Just looked at ESPN's Studs and Duds.
One QB was paired with Peyton Manning, the other with JeMarcus Russell. I will take the one paired with Manning.

Nuff said!

_ In the end Hasletts bone-headed move may have helped the Saints franchise. If Jake had played he may still be with the Saints...and maybe someone like the Panthers would have Brees. Right now, no sane person would trade Brees for any player in the NFL.
We all love Jake, but he is not in the same class as Brees (only a handfull are). Brees decision making and accuracy are truely mind boggling and he has established himself as a true ambassador for the NFL. No one knows who has the better team, but everyone knows who has the better QB. _

Dude.....You are officially off the "Arnolds" Christmas card list.

This happens all the time. It's called professional sports. Jake should have started. We had a dumb coaching mistake. He went to another team so be it. All around the country this happens. If you like the Saints that is fine. If you want to pull for Jake that is fine.

But I get aggravated:

1) when people insinuate that the Saints would be better with Jake than with Drew Brees. First, Drew Brees is playing lights out and is one of the hottest qb's in the league. However, throw that aside. You simply do not know. It's impossible to tell. Jake did what was needed in the Super Bowl run, no doubt. However, his defense was also incredible. They held teams to 10 and 3 in two separate playoff games. We do not know. Jake could have started his first game and gone down with an ACL injury we don't know.

2) when people insinuate that I am wasting my time for rooting for a loser of a franchise. I would think Cajun fans, more than anybody, would be sympathetic to fans that route for a struggling team. People say that the Saints haven't been good since they started their franchise. We haven't been stellar at UL and we just played our 1000th game.

Some things are tradition, like Boudin, Cracklin, tailgating at Cajun Field, Mardi Gras. I grew up watching Saints football with my family on Sunday. And my sons or daughters and I will watch the Saints together. This is not a shot at Jake. I think he is a good NFL quarterback and am proud of him. But Geaux Saints.

ok, so if the cajuns make it to a bowl game this year you will be the first on here saying desormeaux is a better QB than jake right? B/c thats the only way to measure a QB is how many bowl games he has been in.

While I agree that the Saints have historically been the worst franchise in the NFL (although the Arizona Cardinals have a pretty good argument to make as well), they aren't even close to the worst professional franchise out there. If you disagree, I have three words for you:

Los. Angeles. Clippers.

Ya'll Saint worshippers can sure spin some crappolla! All that matters in the NFL is winning! How many NFC championships does Brees have? 0 Jake? 1

Something like 68 teams make a bowl game in college these days. I guarantee it was much harder to make a bowl when Jake was at UL. However there is only 1 SUPERBOWL, who played in it, Jake or Drew?

GEAUX UL!

HAHA! you are joking, I hope you are joking. Drew Brees is a better quarterback. Period.

Sounds like somebody needs to take off their Jake glasses for a minute.

I love Jake.

But it's crazy to say the Saints would be a better team right now with him at QB. The play they are getting at that position right now simply cannot be improved.

[Turbine]

The "right now" argument is a sort of red herring.

Jake should have been the Saints starter since 2000.
