On the morning after the worst game of his career, a game that fell on his 34th birthday, Jake Delhomme left his family, his friends and his presents at home and took a drive. He ended up at the Panthers' practice facility, where he watched a replay of the 33-13 loss to the Cardinals in the NFC divisional playoffs. In that game, Delhomme threw five interceptions and lost a fumble as the NFC South champions were humiliated on their home turf.

"I could have replayed it in my mind, but I wanted to see it," Delhomme says. "I tried to do too much, especially in the second half. [The season] ended on a bad note, and I had a large part to do with it, but I wasn't going to run away from it. I'm embracing the challenge.".............

9-7 is a good "It could go either way so i'm covering my ass" prediction -- A win or two more, we're in the playoffs and he can make up some excuse like the Panthers got lucky in a couple games, the defense pulled it together, whatever. Lose a couple more, then he can say the team's weaknesses were worse than expected, blah blah.

Oh, and he's always up the Pats ass no matter what.

bears actually look good, imo. i don't know about superbowl good but definitely playoff good.

vikings will look good until farve falls apart in week 10 or so. he's starting the year in worse shape than he did with the jets last year. green bay is installing a defense that will be really hard to transition to and will hurt them all year. the lions are the lions.

if the bears get only a little better on defense then they will have the division.

9-7 is deff a safe prediction. i dont think theres any team in the NFC thats that much better than any of the others. IMO an 11-5 record can get a first round bye and a 9-7 could easily be a wild card

I think 9-7 could easily win the division this year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
