Why is Delhomme not on IR?

[Zod]

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?

fug jake, hes washed up and should be on the bench as the 2nd QB

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.

probably...

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

Jake is probably the only player that Fox could put on IR that would actually HURT his chances of coming back.

They made a mistake putting McCown on IR and aren't going to repeat it. After Moore got hurt last year, they may be concerned about his duarability. If they need some backup they obviously aren't ready to turn it over to Feeley.

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.
