Pro. Jake Delhomme

[NewsCopy]

Overall, Delhomme looked good for his first live action in over a year with his only negative play being a fumble.

As the Texans enter their first postseason, they can be comforted by the fact that if they need their reserve quarterback, there will be little to no drop-off in performance.

Delhomme has playoff and Super Bowl experience and besides his one blow up performance against the Cardinals in 2008 he has been one of the NFL's best playoff quarterbacks.

After two rough seasons in 2009 and 2010, many people wrote off Delhomme as washed up but he seems to have regained his confidence and poise and looks ready to step in if needed.

Is Jake going to start for the Texans on Saturday?

Local reporters are saying no. I just hope he has a chance to play and leads the Texans to their first playoff win.

------Well having had a separated shoulder I can tell you who won't be throwing passes next game----With this injury you can hardly raise your shoulder much less throw a football and when it comes out of place you are doing part of your purgatory!!!!

[RaginDave]

Its his non throwing shoulder. So while it may be painful, but he should be able to go.

[Boomer]

And I stand corrected ------the funny thing is that I could swing a bat without the slightest pain and just couldn't bring the arm back!!!

Considering the Texans sat a lot of their starters for various reasons I wasn't surprised that Yates stayed out and Jake stayed in, especially with Jake putting up a pretty solid performance. Saying that, I really think Yates will start next week. He's been starting the last few games and I think the only reason he wasn't put back in the game was #1 fear of further injury to his shoulder and #2 Jake's performance. From what is being said, Yates and his shoulder appears ready to go for next week and considering the amount of work he's gotten with the first team squad compared to Jake over the last few weeks I really think he'll get the start.

Rightfully so. I figure with Jakes performance, Kubiak wont hesitate to give TJ the hook if he aint getting it done though.

That TD pass on Sunday gives him TD passes with 4 different NFL teams, I believe. Does that officially make him a "journeyman QB" now???
