If Delhomme gets benched

[dimbee]

Will he ever start again for the Panthers?

[mav1234]

Only if Moore/Feely(whichever takes over...) is injured or completely terrible.

I think Jake will still be the #2... and I suspect we'll see Moore dumped down to #3. =(

[Squirrel]

If Moore and Freely are no better than I think he will. But it might be very late in the season. I see Moore starting atleast 4 games and if he sucks Freely will get 4.

[Pumpkin King]

Yes. He signed a five-year $42.5 million contract extension, right?

Moore and Feely will both play bad and Jake'll get another chance. :nonod:

[Henne Given Sunday]

the most popular player on the team is always the backup QB. i know jake has been awful for you guys, but its not always what it seems.......careful what you wish for.

[Rypkord]

Really depends on what we do this offseason and if moore is a legitimate option (which for the record i don't think he is).

Gotta think with his contract we will see him start again due to injury.

[Squirrel]

Thing is Jake is getting progressively worser every game. A QB change is the only thing that might save our season. So we need to take that step or just count any chance of making the playoffs gone.

[PantherDude]

Depend. If both Moore & Feely stink up or get hurt, it's possible. That a big question mark right now.

How's the Dolphins' backup quarterback doing?

[CharlotteBeer.com]

When Moore throws his first interception, Jake will come in.

We'll proceed to run the ball 90 percent of the plays and somehow come away with the win. Delhomme's starting job will be secure again, at least for a few more years.

really good. but he started all 4 years at michigan, learned under a really good qb (chad pennington) has a great qb coach (david lee) and has the most expensive oline in the league.

like i said different circumstances. (although he has no receivers)

The thing that's stuck in my craw is that Fox had the gumption in 2003 to bench Rodney Peete for Delhomme when it was obvious that he (Peete) was ineffective. I hope that he can man up and at least pull the trigger now. His job hangs on this move, IMO. If he stays status quo and sticks with Jake, then Fox is done. If he makes a move and at least attempts to get the team on track, it could save him... at this point, I think he realizes he's probably done, but if Moore/Feely can just make a difference then he might have a chance.

$42.5 million = 18 picks in 7 games

wtf am I missing here?

The 2009 offseason could go down as the worst in team history.

I think it's quite the opposite. Fox is damned if he does go with Moore, damned if he doesn't.

Think about it: if he puts Moore in and he plays well enough for the team to string together some wins, people will be furious that the move wasn't made earlier in the season.

If he puts Moore or Feeley in and they play as bad or worse than Delhomme, well then it still falls on him and the front office for not pursuing decent talent at that position.

I don't think there is anything that will save Fox's job this year, barring some miraculous post-season run.
