Looked much sharper than Delhomme tonite. I think hes a better quarterback- more accurate with his passes, doesnt throw into heavy coverage just to get rid of the ball, and doesnt have the Jake spaz factor.

What are the chances that he could start over Delhomme by mid season?

Does anyone else think that Delhomme looked pretty damn good tonight?

He seemed to have much more zip on the ball than pretty much all of last year. Not saying a stronger arm is going to instantly make him a better quarterback, but I think he's improving.

And no, I'm not a BJDJS, but I don't think Delhomme played so badly that we should be looking to replace him with McCown, who was playing against second- and third-string players.

Dude, I am thinking the same thing about Delhomme. He barely missed Smitty on the deep pass. That is usually caught by smitty.

The difference between Jake's play from NY and Baltimore is night and day.

he looked pretty terrible against NY. I even thought Moore would beat him out as the #2 at that point.

Delhomme brings more to the team.

Most did, and he still may. Moore got more time last game, and now McCown's still got his chance.

It just goes to show that backup quarterbacks really are the most popular guys in town. From third-string veteran quarterback to replacing the starter of the last six years, all in a week's time.

McCown is seriously moving up the depth charts.

He seemed to be accurate from the pieces I saw. He almost threw a pick on that one to King early in the game though.

Didn't have Ravens harrassing him the whole night either, the way Jake did when he was facing the 1st team defense.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
