Whose play dropped off at season's end?

saintz08 · 07-24-2004, 12:20 AM

The question I have for most Delhomme fans is...how much credit should he be given for plays where he just throws the ball up for grabs and is lucky enough to have his receiver come down with it?

The same amount Montana was given when he was smart enough to throw it high to Dwight Clark in the end Zone to win the game .

Delhomme throws it up and his receiver makes a play on it . At least the receiver does not have to run into the grand stands to get it .....

Never under estimate the value of a ball thrown to where a player has the ability to make some sort of play on it . They call it \" The Catch \" .....

They call it \" The Catch \" .....

Joe Montana is considered by many to have been the best quarterback to ever play football. Throwing that ball to Dwight Clark where only Clark had the opporitunity to catch it was a spectacular end to one of the most impressive and memorable drives in NFL history.

Jake Delhomme is no Joe Montana. It\'s hard not to like the guy but to compare those bombs thrown at a 75 degree angle in to a mob of players to The Catch is silly.

They call it \"The Prayer\".
