As for his future, Delhomme said he still thinks he can be a successful quarterback and was adamant that he wants to remain in Carolina and help turn things around.

“Oh, 100 percent, yes,” Delhomme said. “There is nothing inside of me that says, ‘Let’s try to start over someplace else.’ Absolutely not. Not even remotely close.”

There will be plenty of speculation over Delhomme’s future in Carolina both locally and nationally this off-season, but that’s something he won’t spend much time thinking about.

“Whatever happens, happens,” Delhomme said. “That's how I live my life and what's meant to be is what's meant to be. That's what I always kind of go by. We'll see what happens. Who knows?

As for his future, Delhomme said, “It all depends on the powers that be, what they decide. But I think they look at the whole body of work. I think they look at practice and I think we do a good enough job of knowing when it’s time and it’s not time for certain players. We’ll just let that play out when it has to play out.”

When asked if he thinks he’ll be made the team’s scapegoat for team’s offensive struggles this season, Delhomme said, “Not at all. Not in the least bit. That’s not the makeup here. You have certain teams that look for that. I don’t think we’re that type of franchise.”

Delhomme did snarl at the idea that he didn’t look like the same quarterback as in past years.

“I disagree 100 percent because I think there were games where I threw the ball better than I did in many years,” Delhomme said. “... But just all in all offensively, in my opinion, we didn't carry our end of the bargain, so to speak, specifically the pass game.”

And this board will be extremely entertaining if we go into the first 2010 pre-season game with him as the starter.

and hard to read

[Gman was right]

Gman says that Jake needs to do whats best for himself and this organization and call it quits. As awful as a QB as he is Jake is still a classy guy with a ton of heart so it often pains gman to have to call him all sorts of names every sunday when he is stinking it up. But we all know if Fox is still here then he will be the starter no matter what. That is why it is important for JR to do the right thing and can John Fox at the end of the year.

Now I hope we keep Fox and start Delhomme just to keep Gman POed. He's earned it.

Will Jake get the guaranteed 12+mil if he retires?

If not he would be an idiot to retire and he know it.

GUARANTEED

Jake Delhomme runs the Panthers. Doubt he retires with all the cake we owe him and him thinking he still got it.

[Highlandfire]

There is the problem, the friggin moron doesn't understand he is the worst starter in the NFL. The assclown thinks he can still play. As long as fox is here hell no he isn't going to want to go anywhere else, he knows ONLY in Carolina would he still be a starter.

Sadly this, and he'll probably be starting next year. We're going to continue and be the laughingstock of the NFL.

If he wants the job he's going to have to earn it again for first time in 6-7 years. Moore has earned the inside track to the #1 QB next year, so far.

Hate to play downer here but this is John Fox we're talking about here.

According to him I'm sure Jake just "picked a bad season to have a bad season"

"This move doesn't change anything about his future," said Hurney. "We feel the same about Jake as we did yesterday before we put him on I.R. We've made it clear we have confidence in Jake."

Hope to your ass fired along with Fox during the offseason

"You can go to a couple of games I threw the ball better than I did in many years," he said. "All in all, offensively, in my opinion, we didn't carry our end of the bargain, so to speak, especially the passing game."

Yes, only a couple games you threw well. The rest were poo and you cost us games. It may involved "we" some of the time, but it was mostly all just "you".

As for his 55.5 completion percentage, which is 4.2 percent below the career average he had coming into the season, Delhomme said:

"I think a lot of factors played into that, but ultimately when you throw the football, you're the last one who has it in your hands, so you've got to put the blame on the quarterback."

You're the one making the decision of where to throw it there genious.

Well thank you for f**king ruining my Christmas....asshat.

I think his last 12 games says everything that needs to be said. Practice is one thing, but when the games count, Jake is poo and needs to go away. But if he is the starter, might as well write off the 2010 season now!
