Delhomme promises to get better

well then show us what you're made of, guy. I don't just want to see talking like we've always seen I want you to follow through.

"You can’t worry about making a mistake. You’ve just got to go out and play. That’s something I’ve always been able to do, and I didn’t do it well on Sunday. How do you fix it? Well, it will be fixed, I promise you. It will be fixed. I’ll be back to me."

I'll tell you what, if Jake can overcome his last two games, that man is one of the strongest-minded people in the world. No matter what he says, his confidence has to be as low as it can get. You rarely ever see a good to serviceable athlete just completely lose it, but when you do you never see them get it back. It will be one of the greatest stories in Panthers history to date if Jake can turn it around and lead us to the playoffs. I will have even more respect for him as a player and person than I do now.

i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt right now. next week? cross that bridge when we come to it.

i want to see how he responds. i want to see how the team responds to all of this. off the field the response has been good but the only response that matters is while the clock is running.

luckily for jake, there's only one direction he can go from here. :)

no, there's two. he can get better (yeah right)

or he can be benched (most likely not until another game or three like his last two)

my guess is, the staff will keep him in, he will continue to suck, and will be benched after mid season and we will win only 4 or 5 games the entire season.

didn't we just see how they responded to the arizona game?

so, you want to see how they respond to a failed response?

then what, see how he responds to the bad response of a failed response?

then..... how he responds, to a ..................

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
