i just think you shouldn’t rush to retire just anyone because they’re the only great you have at that position – kinda cheapens your retired numbers.

you’ll look back decades from now and see delhomme next to steve smith and jon beason and either of your great RBs(assuming of course) and say, “what were we thinking?” the Jets fans can say the same thing about Broadway Joe, except he brought them a trophy.

i’m looking out for you guys, i like the panthers(Foxy!) even tho y’all kicked our ass last year!

and hopefully you guys get a few rings, and HOFers. then your gonna say you probably jumped the gun on Delhomme.

Like with the Giants, we have many “good players”, that went to pro bowls, and even won championships. but we don’t retire there number. just ask joe morris, oj anderson, pepper johnson, and jesse armstead. but they’re always invited back for big games, just not in the upper echelon.

The Yankees have a high bar and are still running out of numbers(you can scratch no. 2 off that list)

I agree he’s done a ton for your org., but not enough in my eyes to hang his number up forever. how about offering him a permanent position within the organization when he does hang it up, that would show enough gratitude.

Where do y’all think he’s going? now that i’m thinking about it, we’re losing david carr, i wouldn’t mind having jake to backup eli.

I love what he did here, but you can’t set the bar that low. One probowl, one NFC Championship win… and nothing else other than running up stats for a team that has little history. Are we going to retire every player that does that?

I’d love to see him eventually come work locally as an announcer, commentator though… But not sure if he’s cut out for that kind of work.

Didn’t Smith & Jake come to prominence around the same time? Then how can it be said that one led to the others success? They both lead to each others success, in my opinion. In the two years prior to Delhomme’s arrival, Smith had combined for just over 1,000 yards and 3 TD’s.. In Delhomme’s first year, Smith broke 1,100 and recorded 7 TD’s.

Beuerlein and Delhomme. Jake was good up until this past season. Was he Peyton Manning? No, but he wasn’t terrible by any stretch of the imagination. Last year was the exception, not the rule.

It took the Saints 30 years to get Drew Brees who is their first good quarterback.

And before anyone says Archie Manning take a second to look up his stats.
