What about Jake?

by audthoughts on Mar 9, 2010 10:34 PM EST

I seem to remember that many people were on board with bringing Pennington onboard to hold the position for a year or two and groom a young QB. I would propose that bringing Delhomme in for the same reasons wouls be something to seriously consider. He has the attributes that would play well in Buffalo, courageous (maybe to a fault), aggressive, accountable, and most importantly a leader and commander of men. I believe these are the attributes that would help mold a new, young QB as to how to be a professional.

The QB I have in Mind is John Skelton of Fordham. Has the physical tools, and one could assume the intelligence(Fordham), but is raw and needs time to learn. I believe Jake would be the perfect role model for what we have been missing here in Buffalo. I might suggest that the money would not be as important as he is still getting money from Carolina, but I could be wrong. Thoughts?

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

I can't recommend even entertaining the thought.

Delhomme is finished, plain and simple. He’s lost his confidence, mechanics, and apparently the entire left side of his brain. I would rather have ANY of the QBs currently on our roster named the starter tomorrow than to sign him. I respect what he’s accomplished in his prime for sure, but those days are long since behind him.

Is it just me...

But it no wonder that the guy is finished – a grown man is not supposed to cry like that. Wow what a disgusting seen, I felt bed for the guy he really looked pathetic.

I never really liked the guy. He had a great line, great backs and a couple of great receivers and an above average defense that made him look better than he ever was. Oh and I almost forgot, he had a great coach that knew how to call a game.

I personally am not interested at all.

Nothing left to say... the clock is ticking...

If anyone....

If we were to bring in any of the exiled, I would like to see Bulger. I don’t think he makes it through the offseason with the Rams.

I, personelly, think he still has some gas left in the tank….

What about him?

Delhomme is so bad, that I assumed you were referring to Jake Plummer when I read the title of the post.

I think I answered your query.

No to Delhomme!

Jake

We don’t need a fourth “jake”. I hope we choose to draft a QB, either this yr. or next. So tired of picking up other teams questionable QB’s. Let’s wait!!!
