re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
"Saints need a young , diamond -in-rough QB who they can mold and buy at a low cost. Saints scouts ,I predict , are looking for just that.
Find a Brees part 2. " let him learn from drew....hope for a little taller..lol |

re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
I don't care who we go out and sign, there's not a man on the planet (besides Peyton Manning) who could make Drew Brees look over his shoulder. I personally don't think it's a bad thing to bring Delhomme back in as a backup if he understands his role. But Drew Brees is a top 2 QB in the NFL, he's not going to get scared of Delhorrible

Browns sign Delhomme
Jake Delhomme has agreed to a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, according to a league source.
Delhomme visited with the Browns on Thursday, but left without a deal. He was scheduled to visit the New Orleans Saints on Friday, but his trip was delayed because his flight was canceled, according to league sources. Delhomme was released by the Carolina Panthers earlier this month after seven seasons with the team. |

Cleveland Browns, Jake Delhomme agree to two-year contract - ESPN
Best of luck to him ... not sure if this is the best option for him. |
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Thanks Smash for article.
JD,2 yr.deal w/Cleveland at 7 million. Seven million. Article says his home town team is N.O. Saints. That should be that JD's home state team is Saints. |

he'll go to the browns and be a starter for 2 years and then find a new home you guys forget that just 4 short seasons ago we were also the laughing stock of the NFL nobody wanted to come here and everybody that did come here got mocked and laughed at by the rest of the fans the browns have a solid defense.....they have a lot of young talent......they are missing a few key pieces 1 of which is leadership......fujita and delhomme will solve that problem |

And most of North Carolina feels his home town team is NO Saints! :D Just glad he isn't with the Saints. There is a real dislike for the fella up here in NC and it tends to rub off on all of us who aren't Panthers fans! In two years, where will he be? Wishing he had been #2 behind Drew Brees!:bng: |
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Hooray we didn't get him!

Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Wow, the Browns keep on making questionable decisions don't they?
|
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Just to go full circle...I bet Sean Payton could make Quinn or Andersen good QBs with this team. It would be interesting if we signed either to be a backup behind Drew.

Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Different front office same horrible decisions. The Browns will continue to be bad.

Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Fujita is there for one great point and one point only and that is to make mega millions he could not get and would not get paid by the Saints. He will do his very best. Work . He is not going there to sit around .
I think smart move.He got the SB thing that many never get let alone get a second time at. I agree with Crusader about JD. niteadept, what do you mean he is not liked in NC? That is pretty sad. They won a SB with JD. Yeah, he is on the downside of his career now. Now,the team is rebuilding. The Saints won a SB at last. This big win thing and all of the fan excitement won't be always, but I NEVER want to see fans knocking this coaching staff, Breesand team. I mean the fair weather fan thing. I think Saints fans will never do that. Fans stuck around through some really bad, bbbbaaaaddd times. The Colts fair weather fans ,the 11 of them , showed up to greet the team after the SB at the airport. Yeah, I get that the Colts org. did not make a deal of letting fans know and that it is freezing below and snowing. Still,their local media knew there when the team was arriving. The city could not have set something up inside the airport? It just seems to me the Colts lost the SB to the underdog NO Saints and fans and media there are fair weather ones. Also,the Colts were out played and out coached by the Saints. Oopps, I am getting back to the SB. I just can't help myself sometimes.:bng: |
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Good luck Jake!

Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Exactly. The resident pudgy couch potato peanut gallery can bash on Jake all they want but he led a team to a Super Bowl, lest ye forget.
How many of you Jake naysayers have ever accomplished a fraction of something like that? Try not to be haters and folks like me won't call you out for hating on someone who has accomplished more than you ever will. If you respond all mad, yea I was talking to you. |
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Thank God and Greyhound he's GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Among his many accomplishments: 2 ints a game on average over the last year +. That's better than even the great favre. Impressive! |

Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Jake Delhomme is going to make $12MM from Carolina and $7MM from Cleveland this year!!!! Is anyone else falling out of their chair about that knowlege? It's really the most impressive job by an agent I have ever seen.

Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
Winners want the ball, when the game's on the line. You can also say, that a good leader, has to become a good follower as well. I don't hate Jake, but he is a freaking crybaby. Accomplishments? Yes, he went to a Superbowl, but close only counts in horseshoes, and hand grenades. Dan Marino went to a superbowl, so did Boomer Esiason. Jake isn't close to the talent, of either one of those guys. And don't get me started on the qbs that have BEEN to the superbowl, that no one hear would probably even know if I did. I wish Jake all the luck in the world. And yes, I am glad he's not in New Orleans. Qbs, are kind of like ex's. There is a reason why they are "ex's".

Jake played for NO...he was forced out of town...he went to a SB while NO went to the toilet bowl...he's now on his last leg, sorta like Brunell...and people hate him. I keep harping on Hebert, but why don't people feel animosity toward him? What he did was hundreds times worse, IMO. For the record, I could take him or leave him...but I'm kinda glad he will get another shot in Cleveland. He would never get that shot here unless Brees went down, and we don't even want to think about that. Jake can be a jerk at times, also...so this whole thing played out pretty good as far as I'm concerned. |

Good for Cleveland! Good for New Orleans! It's all good! ;)

Bobby never proclaimed his undying love for Atlanta like Jake has done recently for Carolina. Mike thinks he's getting a leader in Cleveland. I think he's getting an average, at best, QB on the downside of his career. Hell, they could have signed Brunell for the same performance and about half the money. Oh well...it's their money, not mine. I wish Jake the best too, but I'm extatic that he's not going to be back in N.O. Giddy. Joyous. Relieved. Thankful. |

As it was, he saw a better chance to win a starting job in Carolina...and ultimately he was right. Haslett and crew mortgaged the farm on AB and we were force-fed the smiling idiot even when he couldn't get the job done physically. If I would have been in JD's situation, I'm sure I would have done the same thing...and I'm sure he's glad he went there, too. |

If you tell yourself something long enough you eventually begin to think it's true. I think this is what has happened to a lot of Jake Delhomme fans. |

Nobody is saying JD is the greatest thing since sliced bread...nor am I saying that I'm disappointed. As I said earlier, I'm glad it worked out the way it did. On the other hand, if you can't recognize that JD was at least as capable as AB as a starter, then it is my opinion that you are the one who was biased in the whole thing. AB had two things going against him. He didn't know when to take a sack or throw it away...consequently providing yards and yards of AFV material... and even more agitating were the smiles that always followed. |
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)
most QBs would rather retire than go play for cleveland.....cleveland is where you go to ruin a career

right when they get some good players in, they get rid of some quality players look at the DT they traded to the lions....they just traded one of their best LBs to the raiders....and even tho they brought in fujita, they lost brodney poole and let go of hank fraley its nice to see a giant overhaul like this, but is it for the better of the team? i dont know yet......they are still in a pretty deep hole the good thing is that mike holmgren knows how to run a team and eric mangini knows how to draft |
Re: Jake Delhomme to Visit Saints (Cleveland signs Jake)

Just curious to know what you think it is that Jake did when the pressure was on. Did he 'know how to take a sack'? His numbers suggested he preferred to thow air balls up for grabs and get them intercepted. I've watched him do it time after time. So have you. But must we talk about Brooks & Haz to discuss Jake? I don't think so, but it seems I'm in the minority. At any rate, we can discuss Jake any time. It's an easy argument to win if you're on my side of the fence and you believe what the statistics show you. |
