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 strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
