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...

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Purdy only passed for 127 yards week 18 and then only passed for 108 yards in the playoffs. In those two games he had 0 TD's and 2 INT's and a fumble. Mayes in the Superbowl had a total of 63 yards with 0 TDS at the 13 minute mark in the fourth quarter. He only had success when the Seahawks went into prevent defense. Philip Rivers only had 127 total yards in week 15. Boomer with the Vikings had 126 yards and 4 INTS in week 13. Cousins had 167 yrds week 14 and while it was over 150 yards, he also had 2 INTs with 0 TDs. Yeah Young didn't have a good game but neither did any of these other QBs. And while he had the lowest yardage, he was the only other QB that at least had a TD - Philips had the other.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      He has to have a great year not a great few games...probably gonna have to finish with a winning record too for the first time as well. Front office has all the leverage, havent got much on the return for trading up in the draft no matter what bryce fans want to say. They have no reason to offer an extension right now. All the talk about his personality is just deflection off the talk about money. You can be the nicest guy in the world, it doesnt win games or make you a top 10 QB. They know that, spending all that money on the O line and drafting multiple offensive players in the first round of past drafts says a QB should have better production than what we have seen so far. We have to lean on a run game more to be productive in games rather than a qb we traded up to no.1 for. You can easily draft a more talented QB on a cheaper contract and get the same results bryce has given you so far. Thats the truth.
