Thoughts on Jake Delhomme this season?

Jake was absolutely terrible his first game and average at best the last three. Best case scenario is he finishes with a passer rating in the 70s. Yea the offensive line hasn't played inspiring, but that doesn't excuse his excessive turning the ball over since there's another QB in the league with awful pass protection that has given the ball away only twice in the same amount of games.

Jake is a good QB, but he is not our answer for the future. We need multiple things in Carolina: 1st) A Matt Ryan type QB of the future, 2nd) Another #1 WR to play #2 WR position, 3rd) run 3 WR sets and throw the ball to the slot receiver, 4th) throw the ball to the TE's more often and last but not least 5th) better play calling, not passive or predictable like it is now.

Here's a better question.

Who are you more disappointed with on offense so far this season, Delhomme, Smith, or Williams?

Here's another: If one of the three above turned it up, what would the effect be on the other two? Which would benefit more?

Here are a few more. If Smith makes Jake as many believe, why is that not happening now? How many catches has Smith made to bail out Jake so far this year?

If Williams is so great then why is it the line's fault he is struggling. Guys like Barry Sanders excelled with poor line play??

Delhomme appears to be on a downward slope now at the end of his career. Which sucks for us only because we threw a bunch of money and an extension of him. Not many QB's actually improve into their mid 30's.

Marty Hurney's biggest mistake as GM has been the lack of finding an adequate replacement for Delhomme, instead just postponing the inevitable.

I remember you constantly saying Moore was certainly our future... still believe that?

Or developing an offensive system which allows any quarterback to thrive. Look at the Broncos. They take Orton who has never had a passer rating above 80 and suddenly he is 8th in the league in yards and has a passer rating of 97. McDaniels has taken the New England system which makes anyone look good (just look at Cassel) and brought it to Denver. We keep talking about Jake's decline because he hasn't done the heroics he did in year's past without looking at the system he is in. Davidson's system is hardly quarterback friendly and Henning has never been known for developing quarterback play other than Pennington's one good year last year. It is not so much of an excuse as it is to say that no matter who we get, if we don't have a better offensive scheme, we might very well not get better results. Running is great until teams scheme to stop it.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
