"The above is a detailed way of saying the Panthers are on the hook for almost $13M guaranteed to Delhomme, a player who will be 35 in January and whose contract they could have let expire at the end of this season with no future obligation."

Wow. Someone needs to be FIRED. Also it mentioned fear of Delhomme being a free agent in uncapped season, what a joke, all that would have meant is Jake would actually have to earn his worth. So if he wanted more after this year, he would have reasons for it 2 (back to back conference titles/playoff appearance). Bet they wish they only had to pay Delhomme what he was worth now.

Jake as a free agent in an uncapped season right now isn't good for Jake at all. Not sure he will start another game..

I like Jake as a person and am glad he has financial security for him and his family. I do not blame him as we all seek to maximize our earning potential.

As a fan of the team, it concerns me that the FO made this move because it has proven to be a disaster. I see the following taking place:

1. Short term, we get a FA QB as a starter: Jason Campbell, Tavarus Jackson, or someone similar. They all have their faults but at least they aren't rookies or Jake. This plus a couple of skill position WR and some heatlh and we can make the playoffs.

2. We draft a QB of the future: 2nd to 4th round. Bradford, Hiller or someone similar who can be groomed for a year or two and does not need to be thrown to the wolves.

3. Delhomme is the number 2: Can be a good mentor to a rookie , lots of energy and as a backup should have the swagger to come into the game and make a few plays to win a game but is not a starter in this league anymore.

We have that guy, its McCown. He is a better option than Campbell or Jackson.

that contract was a mistake. franchising peppers was a mistake that led to the jake mistake.

hurney's damage control caused more harm than good. their faith in jake was their downfall. you don't go into the future with an error prone old QB with a new elbow without having a viable backup ready. IRing mccown was an even dumber thing to do.

yeah, they have done ok scrounging around trying to plug up holes where they pop up but the reason that they have to scrounge so much was they put themselves in a situation that wasn't prepared for the worse. they are trying to dig themselves in a hole that they dug themselves.

i have little faith in hurney and fox's ability to fix this problem. i'd rather get someone else in here that hasn't screwed things up yet.

sad thing is, we may be stuck with these clowns for another year since at least fox has another year on his contract.

God why are we always looking at the mediocre Qbs, its the most important position in the game wouldn't logic say to skimp elsewhere?

I am tired of carolina's qb BS, get the real deal in here with some $$$ so we can start winning multiple seasons or just two in a row for christs sake.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
