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.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
