6. Jake Delhomme's contract extension is a fire-able offense. The fact that Carolina has never developed a legitimate backup for Delhomme means head coach John Fox may not survive the season.

Sorry Panthers fans, but Jake Delhomme can't hack it as an NFL starter any more.

How did Delhomme get a five-year extension after a five-interception, one-fumble performance against the Arizona Cardinals in last season's playoffs?

It's been five full seasons since Delhomme led the Panthers to the Super Bowl. He's been a mediocre quarterback the last three seasons. The Rams cut ties with Kurt Warner two years after Kurt led them to a second Super Bowl.

Delhomme's four-interception 2009 debut isn't a fluke. He's done. He's a backup who had a short run masquerading as a legit starter

Here we go again.....

This is a really bad example IMO. What have the Rams done since Warner has left.

I don't think anyone here denies that Delhomme has made a career out of his charisma and ability to be a team "leader" more by his words than his actions. If he had the personality of Jay Cutler instead of Brett Favre he wouldn't have survived a year past that playoff run.

I'm happy for the guy that his dream of being an NFL QB came true but he has just never had what it takes to be an elite QB. Whitlock hit the nail on the head by saying his contract extension was a fireable offense and even worse is the lack of a legitimate, talented, young QB coming up after him.

Every single NFL franchise has made an effort to upgrade the QB position except for those that already have a superstar. Even the freakin Packers addressed QB by the time Favre was what..36? And that is freakin Brett Favre!

Yet slurpers fail to realize this and continue to praise him like he's the savior of the franchise still. :crazy:

I have been and in ways still am a Jake supporter; but I have been bitching about this for years. I know Fox/Hurney have tried, but they have failed miserably in having a legitimate backup and QB of the future on this team for years.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
