Speaking Friday on WFNZ's ProwlCast with Nick Wilson and Josh Parcell, Delhomme was given the opportunity to provide his thoughts on the situation the Panthers' offense currently faces, as well as their upcoming opponent in the Atlanta Falcons.

"I have no worries about Cam, I'll be very honest with you," said Delhomme. "We always want to put quarterbacks in certain buckets or tiers or whatnot. He has to be in his own tier, bucket, conversation by himself because no other quarterback can present the kind of problems that he can just because of his sheer size and strength. 

I think this Atlanta team's still a very good football team. Two crushing injuries for them this week, which is definitely going to hurt them. But this is a very good football team, that the last two times in our memory watching them play, they struggled, but they struggled against the World Champions."

I've always respected and liked Delhomme. 2003 was an exciting year.  He speaks highly of Cam. The article gives no indication of how he calls the game Sunday. I hope the Panthers keep him around more.

Always glad to hear quotes from Jake. Whenever we get our first SB he’s the first player I’ll think of. Will feel like righting a wrong.

I read this in Cajun.

Great read. Thanks for posting!

Wise translation,...

We have no idea what will happen with this matchup,..

The Falcons just lost, so they are looking to rebound, but they have key injuries. The offense is on notice for having 5 straight passes in the endzone for notta.

The Panthers handily defeated Dallas, the score just didn't reflect the stomping, had all fieldgoals and extra points gone through it would have been 24 to 10(i doubt Atlanta goes for 2 on their touchdown had we been 17-0 going into halftime).

The Panthers are on notice without Olsen and half the already suspect Oline, and have to get the receivers a lot more production.

Both teams can win this game, history in the dome says Falcons, but we havent seen the new receivers get settled in yet either, the offense still has some games before their rust, new players, and coordinator really get the new identity ironed out.

If its this game, the Falcons go down,... if its still rusty then it will be close.

Jake didnt have the skills these other QBs do, but damn it, he had heart. We had great runs in '03, '05, and '08. 

That Arizona game destroyed his career. It's a shame. We had alot going for us that year. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

Jake had a great run for us.  Even when we had injuries he was always in charge.  Had he not destroyed his arm who knows how long he could have played.

Jake was a gunslinger and Smitty benefited greatly because of Jake.  Jake had no problem throwing to SS regardless of who or how many was covering him.  Gunslinger mentality. 

I think my favorite attribute about Jake was his tenacity. That was one man you didn't want to piss off.  There were a couple of games where someone pissed him off and it was GAME ON.   I love that about him. 

Though born and raised in Louisiana.  He is a Panther for life.  He loves this team and should be in the ring of honor.  At minimum the Panthers hall of fame.

I would love to hear him on game day calling the game.  

Class Act

All this.

Plus, it’s a shame Jake is not broadcasting or with a TV network. He always has good insight and perspective that is much better than the network guys that have number crunchers and interns analyzing stats. 

Very smart football guy. 

[Khyber53]

I think he's got a good read on this and sounds like he's one of Cam's biggest fans.

Jake isn't the best QB we've ever had, but he's certainly my favorite player we've fielded. The guy was all heart and hope.

I love Jake, man. Always will. It'd be sick if he'd come announce as the color guy on radio but he's too invested in his horse racing

[Dunn]

Man I'd love to have Jake on our sideline every Sunday, I'm sure he'd be as fired up every game day as the players.  The day of his release from us still hurts seeing his interview.

It was very cathartic to embarrass the cardinals the same way they did us in 15.

I remember seeing Jake come in for Rodney Peete vs JAX (Wk1, 2003). Instant fuel to the offense. The winning pass to Proehl (3 rows under my seat) is still one of my all-time “HOLY SH%T!!!” moments.
