Jake Delhomme is playing out of his mind today

[Cat]

Jake had a good game yesterday, no one can deny that. But no one said Jake would never have a good game again.

The problem with Jake is you never know each Sunday which Jake you will get. He hasn't been the poster boy for consistency, and no one can deny that. He is actually a lot like Jake Plummer in that regard.

Eh I disagree, at least if you are saying that he has been this way during his whole career with Carolina. I will give you last year and this year. Other then that he is no more inconstant than the rest of the QBs in the NFL.

Pretty much ALL QBs have multiple bad games during a NFL season.

Are the other seasons relevant?

Jake has shown over the last three games that he is not that bad of a QB when he gets good pass protection and doesn't face tremendous pressure on seemingly every snap. The Bills game is the exception, the pressure was light, however we all know Jake threw way too many passes in that game to begin with, which was unnecessary.

Bottom line, ANY quarterback in the NFL should be able to have a game like Jake did yesterday when the O-line prevents any pass rush. So, I think the pass-rush ability of the opponent from here on out is the best indicator of our chance to win. If Jake has time to make throws, then we can mix the run and pass more, which keeps the defense guessing - that is if Davidson doesn't fug it up.

[Gman was right]

I wouldn't say he was playing out of his mind. He was solid nothing more

When you are talking about Jake's career as a QB then yes.

He was more than solid. He was calling plays and throwing strikes. Much more then a game manager yesterday.

Who cares about his career? I am talking about now.

Ok, well up until the last 3 weeks Jake has just been poo, not inconsistent, just total poo.

It sounded like you were talking more about Jake over the years not just Jake the last 12ish games. Thats just the way i read it.

Jake sailed several passes yesterday too, fortunately none were picked off this game. He was more accurate than usual for once, and not letting him pass over 25 times with a solid running attack is ideal.

He threw for less than 200 yards. He was solid nothing more

Everyone would agree that Jake is streaky and you can tell how he is going to play almost from the outset. Still if you look at last year he went through 10 games without a pick and then had several multipick games. This year he had some terrible weeks at the beginning but unlike the past he didn't bounce back the following week.

Consistency is not his strength nor is the Panthers. I frankly don't know why some of the time.

I remember telling my wife during pre-game warmups that Jake looked much calmer and looser before the game than he has all year.

Let's hope it stays that way.
