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

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.

      If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving.

      Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
