Delhomme II

Seven years ago, the Panthers scouting department found a career backup who had the leadership skills to take a team to the Super Bowl in Jake Delhomme. Carolina didn't have to invest a top 10 pick for its franchise quarterback. They got lucky. Is there another Delhomme out there right now, and do you think the abolishment of the World League and now the Arena League has hurt in terms of quarterback development? I think it has. Quarterbacks need to face live bullets so that you can see how they react and read what's thrown at them.

I agree. The jump from College to the NFL is too much for some (eh hmm Sanchez).

The problem is you really never know who is going to shine and who isn't. No one needs to mention Brady and where he went in the draft.

At this point all we need is a term I've seen flying around this board: "a game manager". Having a 3 to 1 INT to TD ratio makes winning all but impossible.

No way Moore could do worse. Do you not cringe every time Jake throws more than 10 yards? Do you realize neither Moose or Smitty has a TD this year? Only TD passes have been to the tight ends. That's pathetic.

At his point I believe Delhomme I to be the worst starting QB in the league. An improvement with a Delhomme II isn't a stretch...

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
