i will be down for the game this sunday, first home game for the panthers ive been to in years, but i fully expect to be booing delhomme off the field after he tosses up some more ints. I mean we played some pretty ugly football against the bucs and the skins, and the bills have played pretty badly the last 2 weeks as well, could be int for quite a stink fest unless we finally stick to the run and air it out to smitty or get him involved somehow.

I've always wondered how good Carolina would be if we could get a real QB just one time. I mean we have been a franchise for almost 15 years, has their ever been a team go that long without a good quarterback? I mean in the history of the NFL?

The Jake Delhomme we have now isn't the same guy we used to have. Don't undermine the things he's done here because of his recent performances.

Well, Jake HAS been to a Pro Bowl and he did have a couple of successful years here. I can think of plenty of teams who have not had a Pro Bowl QB in the past 15 years....off the top of my head, Browns, Ravens, Bucs....I'm sure there are more...

Lets show some rational thinking guys. His TD numbers were down last year as well. Wasn't because he wasn't playing well but we have a terrific ground game and we always run it in once we are in the redzone. This year he hasn't played well, but of our 10 TDs- 6 are by running backs inside the five. We should have 3 more except for fumbles. Even last year he only had 15 TDs or one per game.

Even if our offense picks it up expect the rushing game to score the touchdowns as that is our philosophy no matter who is at quarterback.

He was a good QB back then but not a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. I'm talking about having a QB who can single handedly win games for us. Even at his best Jake wasn't a game changer. He was great compared to what we were accustomed to but we have never had a guy who could just take over a game. It's sad to say that but it's true.

We don't need a Manning or Brady.... and honestly, a QB of that caliber would be a waste here...I am not defending Jake, but Jake is a game changer. He can swing momentum more that just about any other player on the team.. against the Panthers or for them. Against: The Panthers can lose all momentum when Jake throws a pick at crucial points in the game. Jake missed most of 07 and the team REALLY suffered for it. For: he can build momentum with his leadership abilities and can fuel the team to win games.. remember last year's bootleg run??

Again, we don't need Manning to make it to the Super Bowl.

We DO need a young, stable (consistent) QB with pocket presence that can accurately and quickly spread the ball around... Coaching could help Jake with all of this, but the team needs more than that... and Jake is getting old... he doesn't have "it" anymore. Every time he airs it out to Moose or Smith he either overthrows it or it is picked. Jake has been reduced to a HO that occasionally throws.

We need a QB that can perform well with and without our best O-line

      Greg Olsen weighs in on Dan and Dave's strategy to build the Panthers.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Jones was brought in to compete with AR but Steichen was allowed to be real and say AR isnt ready and may never be. It's not a bad thing to acknowledge the reality a lot of these high QB draft picks don't make it as NFL franchise QBs. It's not a knock on Bryce, Stroud or AR. It's just the NFL.  Ive been insistent we needed more than Dalton. Other than the Raiders game, he was horrible. Plummer. Why bother. It's like we put the minimal amount of effort to a position that's actually pretty damned significant. Hell, look at Nick Foles. Backup QB wins the damn SB. Also, how many times have we seen a backup come in and never relinquish the job. Brady was Bledsoe's backup, and an injury launched a career that led to 7 SB rings.  There were guys available that were better than Dalton. We could and should have done more for the betterment of the team. If we had brought in Howell instead of Dalton, and Bryce played like he has until now, then Howell went in and started lighting it up, we would be able to say with certainty that the problems are Bryce problems because this guy can do it but Bryce can't. Dalton has already shown us he's not really capable of a lot. Maybe he surprises us, but I don't have high hopes of HQ QB play.  I don't care who the QB is. Bryce, AR, Jameis, some off world clone of Cam we found in a time capsule next to JR'S pool. Just be real and honest in all QB evaluations and may the best QB win the job. Do what's best for the Panthers, not just any one player.

      You need a good sense of humor to call that funny. But I was lamenting that the other day. We are winning some games with that approach. Took us two and a half years to get back to where we started from.
