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...

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      He had a turnover on all three goals he was on the ice for. Plus he had that god awful delay of game penalty. Like legit his GS actually shows he was the cause of the loss and he was only on the ice for 12 minutes. You remove him from that game and the Canes win or at worst go to OT.  Let's put this in perspective, in 12 minutes he directly led to 3 goals against. In the 48 minutes without him on the ice it was an even-steven 2-2 game and that's disregarding that god awful delay of game penalty that led to goal number 4 of the 5 given up.      I don't see how anyone could say that he didn't directly lead to the loss.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      reality is the piling on of Frank Reich is just the standard huddle angle we take of putting all blame on someone after the fact.   as I was an OG Frank hater before it was cool to be......now the swing goes too far the other way and people will claim me is as a Frank defender.  Frank Reich was the definition of a .500 middle of the road NFL coach.  He technically was a winning coach and above .500 coming here but he is and was NFL average.  we were the biggest joke in a decade.....because they paired Frank Reich (a dude who was going to do what he does in the NFL) with a dude who couldn't do NFL basics and Frank was forced to play him.  That's not Frank being a loser.  That a bad org around Frank.

      Toronto is less physical than us, and they took them to 7  I really wish they would have won, because we match up better with them, but we have to deal with what we got  What worries me is Svech trying to take out Bob, that is desperation, that's what you do when you feel like there is no legit options left, it's what I feared, Bob is still in our core groups head, and they are over thinking, over passing Hopefully that changes tonight
