Terry Bradshaw: Jake Delhomme's demise greasing Bill Cowher's path to Carolina

Fox broadcaster Terry Bradshaw said today that if Carolina QB Jake Delhomme doesn't improve, both he and head coach John Fox will be out of jobs and former Steelers coach Bill Cowher could be at the helm of the Panthers.

Delhomme was benched in Week 1 after throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble. That gave him a two-game total of 11 turnovers dating to a playoff loss to Arizona in January.

Bradshaw echoed comments by former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis that Fox's future is tied to Delhomme's progress.

"If Delhomme plays another lousy game with those kinds of turnovers, look for John Fox's career with the Panthers to be over," he said during Fox NFL Sunday.

"Bill Cowher desperately wants to get back in the NFL. Cowher will go down to Carolina."

Cowher told USA TODAY in August that he was happy working as a TV analyst for CBS and considered his coaching prospects "year-to-year."

Fellow Fox analyst Jimmy Johnson said the Panthers' season could go downhill quickly if Delhomme struggles. They did not add a viable quarterback in the offseason after giving Delhomme, 34, a five-year contract extension.

"John Fox better hope that Delhomme is back," Johnson said. "He's got no other option. They signed A.J Feeley - he's a journeyman backup that can't play so he has to live and die with Delhomme." -- Sean Leahy

old news and IMO, I wouldn't want Cowher. Took him 15 years to get a SB. IS that what you want or do you want someone that wers his emotions on his sleeve?

I really wish we could have brought Dom Capers back as DC and switched back to a 3-4 like we had with Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon. Salt and Pepper!!!!

Bradshaw said it on the pregame show Sunday. Then jerome Bettis echoed it. both men know him, and know he wants to come back. he keeps saying "if the time was right." "50-50". Every knows he wants to coach in charlotte rather than anywhere else, because he lives in Raliegh and wants to be near his family, its logical. Personally, that is the only reason i would hope we don't make the playoffs. i think the Fox era has run its course.

i understand all that fox has done, but sometimes it is time to move on. Its time. of course we will all be lovey dovey if we win Monday Night. but in the back of our heads, we will pounce on him again after we lose. Odds are against us, nothing matters, I have no point. Screw it!!! go ahead and bash me for my idiotic ranting.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
