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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
