Hey nostra-dunbass..........I really don't value your opinion , sorry
Oh you do and I'll be right. Delhomme is worthless, he'll lose his job in a timely fashion.

Part of his problem is his emotions ruin him. It's just like Keanu Reeves said in the Replacements about quicksand. If you don't know what I'm talking about watch the movie. More or less he talks about making one mistake, then in effort to make up for it the whole gets dug deeper and deeper. This is what has happened to Delhomme. If he falls into quicksand the job will be lost. There's the link to a YouTube link to the part I'm talking about.
Did u really just compare jake to footsteps falco? Maybe we should compare him to paul blake. Here is the problem, we have done this song and dance before with jeff garcia and trent dilfer. there have been qbs who have resurected there careers by a change of scenary. Unfortantely I can't remember the last time we were lucky enough to find one.

A couple of possibles: Vinny Testaverde led Browns to playoffs in 1994. Gary Danielson perhaps. He did well as a "stopgap" until Kosar came along. Bill Nelsen definitely. Led Browns to several playoff appearances even with his bad knees.
Yes, a question is will Delhomme be one of those guys, or a Dilfer, Garcia, Rypien who did not fare all that well in their chances here.

I like the hate on Delhomme right now. Lets him fly under the radar. Most of the negative criticism towards him is because of the two past seasons.
Remember this is an undrafted QB who took a team to the Super Bowl not too long ago.

Not too long ago? It's a long ass time when discussing "NFL" time considering the wear and tear on your body while in the league. He's also not flying under anyone's radar. He's been completely cast off and rightfully so because he's been awful as of late. He's easily one of the most inconsistent QB's in the league and the one thing the Browns do need is consistency. Who knows maybe he experiences some sort of rebirth. I sincerely doubt it and you'll be drafting a QB next year. Delhomme is irrelevant and has been for a while.

Did Florio's TSN article make it here yet? Don't wanna double paste. He lists the five QBs who shouldn't be under pressure... because they should already be benched. Delhomme is the first one.

Delhomme is irrelevant and has been for a while.Well, he had a bad game and a bad year, other than that, he has been pretty good throughout his career.
Why you have a bug up your ass about Delhomme confuses me. Did he bang your wife?
No one here is expecting miracles from Jake Delhomme. At best we are hoping for a steady veteran hand as a stopgap QB.
At worst, he will either repeat what he did last year and be benched in which case we may not be any worse off than we were last year on offense.
Perhaps the OC for the Browns ought to be seriously questioned and not the QBs.
Another couple of things: who says the Browns didn't have consistency last year at QB? They were consistently bad. That IS consistency. Also, in case you didn't notice, the Browns drafted a QB in April. Whether or not they think they will need another one come next year is beyond the power of you, me, or anyone else to figure out. If the plan is not to play McCoy, then we won't know if he will or will not be the right choice for the future. That question won't be answered for at least a year or two beyond that.

Delhomme may not be very good but I would rather have him then Big Ben. Ben looked like shit behind that Pittsburgh line last year, imagine if he'd played for us since 2004. The dude would be in a wheelchair by now.
How many yards did he throw for this past year? The defense lost the games for us this past season, not Ben. You're also so full of sh.it it hurts my stomach. It's one thing to hate the Steelers it's something completely different to throw out completely ridiculous statements to back up that hate. You'd rather have Delhomme than Big Ben? I don't think any one of the 32 teams in the NFL would say "I'd rather have X over Big Ben" unless "X" is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning and even then the argument is getting diluted. Steeler fan or not the man is a beast and a proven winner. Delhomme can't smell where he sh.it last. If the defense didn't continuously drop the ball in the 4th quarter last year Pittsburgh would have been a 13-3 team. Period.

I'd also rather not have Ben because he has a serious history of terrible personal decisions and bad behavior. Motorcycle wreck wearing no helmet. Continues to ride helmetless. Two (reported) rapes. Terrible to the fans and normal civilians. Pissing on a golf course. This dude is a black hole to a PR department but because he wins he gets to stick around. If he hadn't "won" two superbowls his ass would be on the street now.

Did I say more yards equate to more wins? I said the defense lost 4th quarter leads after Ben drove the team down the field for the go ahead TD. The defense was to blame for a majority of the losses last season not Big Ben. I'm fairly certain of the 7 losses last season 5 were lost in the 4th quarter after giving up a lead. The defense couldn't get opposing offenses off the field in the 4th quarter. I read a article on it recently but can't find it at the moment to post.
As far as everything else is concerned and as far as I know he doesn't ride his motorcycle often if at all anymore. The first "rape" was completely thrown out and Ben actually was told to go after her by his counsel for defamation of character. She was in it for a money grab and failed. The second scenario is no different. I also suppose you're incapable of reading seeing as it wasn't Big Ben that pissed on the golf course but rather a Miami Red Hawk alumni. Oh and he DID win two Super Bowls and he'll win a few more. The Browns don't want Big Ben? LMFAO.

Why do your paragraphs always look so fvcked up? Yes irrelevant to the thread but that is one jacked up post and they are all that way. Do you type in large blocks and then go back and tard up the paragraph break up? You also know what type of consistency I was talking about in my previous post. Playing consistently bad is not the sort of consistency that fits anywhere in to this discussion. Is that some sort of weak attempt to make a point? A moot point. As far as Delhomme is concerned he's on the decline and went from being solid to bad and hasn't left the realm of bad. In my world that is a trend and one on a negative down turn.

He belongs on the list. He's terrible and will be terrible. Wallace will be under center before the Browns play the Steelers.

How can you be benched before you have even played? Besides, Mangini said he looked great at the mini camps. Now comes the true test though. Almost to training camp, can't wait!

Uh the second rape scenario is clearly a different case, otherwise why would he be spending the first six weeks of the season on the bench? You are an idiot.

No, it was an attempt to make a joke. Maybe what you need is a humor transplant. What? Did your momma burn you with a cigarette every time you laughed when you were young such that now you are so serious you can't take a joke?

Yea, and who ever argued that his career wasn't on a negative downturn? That is why he changed his scenery. It has happened numerous times that someone turned a negative downturn around. Maybe he will too. Maybe he won't. You have no clue, nor do I. (you have to look only at Kurt Warner who was a backup with the Giants at about age 34-35, and then went to Arizona and did pretty well I would say over his three years there. Like I said, it can happen)

Not flying under the radar? Sir, the WHOLE Browns organization is flying under the radar. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by the Browns this year. I'm not saying Super Bowl and probably not playoffs but this is a different Browns team then seen in the past.
Do you have any idea why he hasn't done well the past two seasons or do you just follow Madden ratings or something? He's been bad because he had elbow surgery and last year his OC tried to get him to change his throwing motion and stay in the pocket more instead of doing what he did when he was successful. Did you see the press conference when John Fox broke down that they had to release Delhomme? He was the heart of that team and locker room. That's the type of player I want on my team, not some "I'm famous now so I can do what I want" asshole that a lot of NFL players turn out to be.
I don't think Delhomme is going to take us to the Super Bowl and I didn't think he was going to take us when we signed up. But if he can be better then what we had last year, help us win some games, and pass on what he has learned to Wallace and McCoy or whoever we decide to go with next year (for all I know we could draft #1 and be drafting Locker, I doubt it, but who knows what will happen) then I'm glad we signed him.

I don't hijack threads. I do post when the Steelers are discussed and contrary to popular belief do contribute without mentioning the Steelers. However 9 times out of 10 when I do post someone comes in and says something about the Steelers which snow balls in to something entirely different. As far as why I'm here is concerned. I post and read here for a alternate perspective and rival news. I read more than I post. As far as trying to alter a bias or change the opinion of a rival base I'm not delusional. However I do expect some degree of intelligence when discussing football. The example in this case being the "I'd rather have Delhomme than Big Ben" which is a bold faced lie. I hate Carson Palmer but if the Steelers had Delhomme as their QB I sure as sh.it wouldn't say I'd rather have Delhomme than Carson Palmer because Palmer is a much better QB just like Big Ben is a much better QB. It's one thing to hate, it's something completely different to blindly hate. The blind hate just makes people look stupid and unless that's something some of you are going for I'd refrain from the blind bias and use some basic football intelligence in some of these threads. Sh.it my post count would probably be cut in half if people employed that post mentality. A majority of my posts are made when someone says something RIDICULOUSLY stupid.

I watch football. I watch A LOT of football. Thank you NFL Sunday Ticket. I also consider myself a pretty avid Fantasy Football guy and have been doing it for I believe 6 years now with college friends. A means to compete now that we're all separated and in different cities. Anyway I watched a lot of Browns games last season and did actually watch my fair share of Panther games because of Deangelo Williams and before Williams it was because of Steve Smith and before that Mushin Muhammad. Jake Delhomme elbow surgery or not is wildly inconsistent. After the surgery it became even more the case and I don't believe he'll experience any sort of resurgence with the Browns. Fox let him go because he was no longer helping the team on the field. You aren't going to pay a guy millions of dollars to be a inspiration in the locker room. My response. I absolutely WOULD NOT want a guy on my team that was cut from another because he couldn't produce at a high level any longer after a debilitating injury and surgery. Not only did you sign him but you signed him for what 19 million dollars? Is he just a expensive mentor to McCoy? Delhomme has been down right bad for a while now and I just don't see things getting any better. I could be wrong. I can always be wrong but I doubt I am in this instance and we're all going to find out soon enough.

Jake Delhomme elbow surgery or not is wildly inconsistent. After the surgery it became even more the case and I don't believe he'll experience any sort of resurgence with the Browns. Fox let him go because he was no longer helping the team on the field. You aren't going to pay a guy millions of dollars to be a inspiration in the locker room. My response. I absolutely WOULD NOT want a guy on my team that was cut from another because he couldn't produce at a high level any longer after a debilitating injury and surgery. Not only did you sign him but you signed him for what 19 million dollars? Is he just a expensive mentor to McCoy? Delhomme has been down right bad for a while now and I just don't see things getting any better. I could be wrong. I can always be wrong but I doubt I am in this instance and we're all going to find out soon enough.

He only won about another 200 games in his career AFTER he had the debilitating injury and surgery. Delhomme had the Tommy John surgery. There is a reason why that procedure is so famous: because so many pitchers have recovered from it successfully and have gone to have outstanding years after it was performed....even late in their careers.
So, my thinking is that if Delhomme is going to suck, the injury is not going to be the reason why. (plus, I think you are way, way off on that contract dollar figure, but I would have to check that. That would seem to be out of line).

I specifically said elbow surgery or not. Meaning that I don't believe Delhomme's poor play is a direct result of his surgery. I believe his poor play is a direct result of no longer being any good. He's not a starter in the NFL yet he's going to start for the Browns. Carolina unloaded him for a reason. He's no longer any good.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -
He's making 19.7 million including his salary owed from Carolina so I was mistaken. Although he's still getting paid over 7 million for this season by the Browns which in my opinion is a lot more than his ass is worth. I'd rather have Bryon Leftwich under center than Delhomme and that's the honest to god truth. Hell I would have brought back Jeff Garcia before giving Delhomme a contract. He's 58-40 as a starter for Carolina.
