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

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
