Crypt Keeper John Clayton ranks Delhomme #33 QB
-
Its a shame his comfidence went down after that game, it was his team mates who quit, not him. Jake will come back strong he is around a bunch of young guys who want to accomplish something. I look for a strong season and a winning season with Jake at QB.
And as for the writer placing Big Gay and Leftwich above Jake to appease steelers fans was futile, doesn't he know that 90% of all Stoolers fans are illiterate.

I am really impressed with the zip he has on his throws this year as opposed to last year. That throw in which Cribbs made a Larry Fitzgerald catch, Jake merely ficked his wrist and it sailed to the spot. Jake is better than assumed by national media. He is even better that presumed by me when we signed him.

crypt keeper? he looks like a light bulb. he neck must have really good ideas.
once a fan, always a fan. married to a steeler fan. aaaaaaaaah! --andy -
Lol, jake just needed a fresh start after the worst year in his career, plus the guy looks both youthful and natural in orange and white..why its almost like he is having fun out there.
Theres no doubt jake will throw some questionable picks and take some chances but at the end of the day holmgren brought in exactly what our young offense needed in jake delhomme and i still say he is the best QB we have fielded since 1993...

Last year it really looked like Jake was not having fun, and that's been the key to his playing. He'll make questionable throws, but when he's not all pinned up with complete aggravation, he plays better.
Hopefully this season shakes out well for him. He's really looking better right now, though it is pre-season, than what I thought he had left in him. No doubt it's been his competitive nature that has carried him further than many of us Cajun fans had imagined when he was just trying to get on a practice squad back in 2000!

He has Anderson ranked 28th. What a tool.

Actually, I always thought he looked....and sounded a little, like Tweetie Bird.

OK, if, and when Delhomme makes the Pro Bowl, will JC write an article where he will eat crow?

I bet it was really Clayton's peter in that pic , instead of Sean Saulisberries' . Clayton is a very tricky person , and manipulates things . lol

Please note that Clayton is a Steelers fan and has Roethlisberger and LEFTWICH ranked ahead of Delhomme.

33. Jake Delhomme, Cleveland Browns
Analysis: Interceptions in the playoff loss to Arizona in 2008 led to a downward spiral for a quarterback who won a lot of games for John Fox and the Panthers. At 35, Delhomme has no chance of being a starter anywhere else if he doesn't cut it in Cleveland.
Chance of being elite: 0 percent

OK, to show you my prognosticating skill, I took the the ESPN poll. Nailed the first four- Manning-Brees- Brady-Rodgers- and only had Favre and Rivers flipped. BTW, to show you the fans are more accurate than Clayton we ranked Jake #28, DA #31, Leftwich #33, and bringing up the rear- Leinart @ #34. No arguments there

He is going to feel really stupid by the fourth week of the season when Delhomme has a qb rating around 100! So no big deal to me. I will just wait for the updated article which states that he was dead wrong on Delhomme. Oh wait no I won't because he will never write it!

John Clayton is a douchebag
-
clayton isn't being objective, he's just going off of what jake did last season. he's only looking at the past so he's predicting worst case scenario for jake. jake has to shut all of his critics and doubters up and the only way to do that is to bounce back and have a better season. i think he can be a good offense manager for the browns. it would be nice to see jake do well and it would also be nice to see alot of people eating crow.

In that circumstance, he'd write it but credit Delhomme's turnaround to quality coaching from Mangini.
Wait, national media can't compliment Mangini.
He'll credit it to our improving WRs and RBs.
Oops, forgot this team has no talent.
I've got it, it'll be because Jake hasa chip on his shoulder and something to prove.
No, that would be admitting a mistake as well.
Let's face it, if Jake has an awesome comeback it'll be written up as the Browns playing weak opposition!!!

What a stupid article! And John Clayton doesn't usually write BS just to write something. He has several QB's ranked in a questionable position and as far as his assessment of Jake, I don't think there is a single person on the universe who would want Leftwich over him.............especially not us Steeler fans!What? I'd wager my entire Steeler message board that I post on regularly would rather have Leftwich. Seriously.

Funny stuff! But don't we have like the tenth or eleventh toughest strength of schedule?
I guess it will have to be because He finds out his team in Carolina really did quit on him.

That is total stupidity on Clayton's part. Even if you find Delhomme to be in the bottom third of QB's...he's going on record saying Delhomme is absolutely last (on a list that includes Matt Leinart). That's just ridiculous.
I think that the football establishment in general and John Clayton in particular are missing some important arguments here.
1) Jake is now two years post Tommy John surgery which, by all accounts, takes 18 months to recover from. His arm strength should be better this year.
2) Even if his arm strength isn't great, he knows how to play the position from the neck up better than at least one third of the QBs in this league.
3) He has a ground attack around him that was the hottest in the league to end last year and that crew just got better (see Hillis, Peyton and Davis, James and Hardesty, Montario). Ground attack=honest pass defense
4) His offensive line will prove to be one of the most under-rated front fives in the league. If you believe Lauvao and Pashos will be upgrades then you have to feel confident.
5) The only thing I feel comfortable commenting on in preseason is timing. Jake has shown good, if not great, timing and chemistry with his receiving corps
Now, what you're telling me is that based on this he's dead last?
Yet another reason I don't watch ESPN.

One thing- if Clayton's going by last year to predict this year, there's no way in hell you can rank Andersuck- qb rating 42, 3TD, 10 ints ahead of Jake.
