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.

      RODS gotta GO

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.

      It's a fine balance. You need elements of both.
