"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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
