Note to Fox: Delhomme is no more than a GAME MANAGER.

If that, as we all know by now, the days of Jake Delhomme being great QB (like in 2003 and 2005) are long gone. He needs to just back of and manage the game. and if he cant do it without turning the ball over, then put a new game manager in. Truth be told, you can win a championship by running the ball and playing defense, which we do well. 3 aspects are holding this team back- Delhomme, offensive line (pass protection) special teams. The only answer i have is to minimize Jake's role in the offense. The less he has to do, the better.

the pressure to get steve smith his touches makes us throw when we shouldn't..i think we should just incorporate smith into the run game and screw passing unless it's a slant, a screen, a deep pass to smith(they work every now and then..if it's picked it's just like a punt :P)...

If we are forced to pass..TE's should get most of the catches if they are open..never ever have jake throwing into tight coverage at this point unless he get's some sort of TV-movie inspiration and becomes good.

He's never been 'dominant' but he's always been good, despite the criticism he's gotten on this board. He's thrown INTs in his day but he's always made up for it with big bombs and TDs. I think Jake is done now but that's not going to stop me from remembering him as a good QB.

Game managers do not lead the NFL in turnovers. That is why they are considered game managers b/c there are depended upon to protect the ball and let the team win games.

i dont think i agree with your assessment of a game manager. To me, there are 'game managers' then you have the Great QBs that win games. Game Managers hand the ball off, and pass very few times, just as needed. like Kerry Collins last year, Titans played D and ran the football. Collins threw only as he needed to. of course this year, that Defense is absent, and so i collins.

Fox thinks Jake is better than he actually is.

One note before we write off Jake at this point, There is a long history of guys who were injured who it took time to get back and even who were relegated to backups like Kurt Warner, or who had a few bad years in a row- Brett Favre.

Right now he is surely not playing well but he has always been streaky. He could come back and play better if we get on a roll. On the other hand he could have some more bad games. As long as we keep winning, I know I don't care.

      Off Season topic: What Panthers question do you have that you know will never be answered?

      Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂

      Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
