And yes, had John Kasay been able to keep his kickoff between the sidelines, Jake would have a superbowl ring and and MVP trophy.

Still one of the best superbowls and one of the best superbowl performances I have ever seen.

People who haven’t followed Delhomme’s career and only know him from ESPN highlights over the last two seasons shouldn’t be commenting.

He has had 2 aweful years thanks to teams with very poor offensive lines.

People forget quickly the success he had in Carolina until that team fell apart.

He has a 56-40 record as a starter…Matt Schaub in 32-34. I’m not saying that he’s better than Schaub at this point in his career, but the guy has the ability to win games in the NFL and I think Texans fans are going to be pleasantly surprised should he play.

The ‘Walrus” thought Jake was the real thing too… (remember Cleveland Browns)…

now go get the data on Jake’s season in Cleveland…

I hope TJ is deaf to ‘whispers’ from Jake.

Jake Delhomme was signed to help T. J. Yates.?To help T.J. Yates remain the best option the Texans have at QB.

Delhomme’s third to last season resulted in a 12-4 record for the team that he started for. And his career TD/INT ratio is higher in TDs than INTs, so the INT jokesters need to get a life.

Jake missed a ring by a field goal in one of the best and most watchable SuperBowls ever when the Cats lost to the Patriots.

Jake’s a team player and he’d make a great mentor for Yates. And if he had his confidence back as a thrower (problematic, I’m afraid, given performances ever since the meltdown against Arizona when he was still QB for Carolina), he could help Texas stay in the big hunt.

Bringing Jake in will make for a very interesting rest of the season for the Texans.

Then why didn’t Carolina bring Jake back to “mentor” Cam Newton?

Who is Andy Dalton’s mentor?

The guy can either do it or not. If Yates beats Atlanta this weekend, he can mentor Delhomme.

Unbelievable that Delhomme can get another shot with a guy like Culpepper out there. Houston is one and done in the playoffs.

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to hire him as a coach?

The only thing Delhomme can teach Yates is how to throw 5 interceptions in a game.

And “Notrelated”, when did Delhomme ever win a ring?

Attention Houston fans: If Delhomme has to actually play at some point you’ll want to familiarize yourselves with the term “pick 6″.

Delhomme had a chance at a ring, but never got one.

So did McNabb.

Random post of the day? Really? I think there is a better word than “random” to describe that post.

I doubt it’s talking points. I’m sure his role was explained by the Texans and agreed to by JD. It’s only some fans and some media that are hyperventilating over it (OMG1!!11! DISASTER!1!!!) like teenage girls. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

” Matt Schaub says Yates picked up Kubiak’s offense faster than any quarterback he’s seen.”

This is probably because in the offseason it was mentioned that the reason Kubiak picked Yates is because he essentially ran the Texans offense in college. This is surely the reason why Kubiak is more comfortable with him than anyone else.

One of the best running games, the best defense. This team will be fine as long as Yates keeps the turnovers to a minimum. If he goes Tyler Palko there in trouble.

It’ll be a great story if Yates proved a huge success and they went deep in the playoffs.

hence why they had him “TRY OUT” twice, before taking him on

just keep yates in so I can stress playing all defenses that come against him

Just hand the ball to foster on every play. Please.

When did Delhomme get a ring?

Zoxitic, the only thing falling around here is the likelihood that the L.A. football team remains in Jacksonville.

Meanwhile, the Texans have the pieces in place to be highly competitive for several years. Oh, and in Houston.

can’t matt be a mentor…i hope jake gets to play…i love to watch him…tj should be a cheap fantasy pick…might be worth it

The Texans are going to continue their winning ways. Yates is the real deal, and Delhomme is a perfect pick to become a fantastic mentor. With AJ returning to form, and the defense dominating, home field advantage is coming our way.
