Why is Delhomme not on IR?

Could it be so that he can play against NO to redeem himself and to go into the offseason with a "Delhomme is back he was the awesome against New Orleans" chatter?

I've thought about that. It'd actually be nice to see a somewhat happy ending to his time here.

I think it's more a combo of holding out hope and remembering that they were too quick to pull the trigger on McCown.

the only happy ending is having jake delhomme not EVER start again for the Panthers.

that would make me happy:)

This is all a guess. I think Jake retires. I think Fox now knows this. Fox is going to let Jake play his final NFL game at home against NO .

There is nothing to gain by putting him on IR. If he is able to play, then I do not mind having him as the BU for the last 3 games. Moore gets injured and all we have left is Feely.

There potentially is for, say, a coach who needs an excuse as to why his results this season were so bad and/or a reason why he shouldn't be fired.

He's not on IR because he wasn't hurt. Fox demoted him to backup QB and didn't want to admit it.

Making room on the roster for another young guy to get in some game experience isn't nothing, imo.

Putting him on IR and signing a youg guy does not necessarily give the young guy game experience. Who's playing time is the young guy going to replace? Not Jake's...Moore already has that.

I would rather have Jake as the BU QB more than IR'ing Jake and have some young guy sitting on the sideline come Sunday.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
