San Diego. Probably Delhomme's last good game that reminded you of the guy he was in 03. 

Monday Night (or Thursday?) vs Buccaneers at home. I went to that game and it was incredible to see Stewart and Williams just completely destroy a defense like that. I think at that time Stew and DWill were top 5 RB talents on their own. Smitty had a great game too.

Delhomme really wasn't the same after the Tommy John Surgery huh

No not really. I've always wondered what the tell Jake had that the Cardinals keyed in on in the playoff game. It was mentioned in a post game interview, but it wasn't gone into detail.

Personally, I think it was a combination of him not being able to force the throws like he used to. Thus, it exposed his flaws processing the game, and he had an overreliance on Smitty.

Panthers v Bucs late in 2008 season.

They were battling for the division late in the season. DOUBLE TROUBLE (Williams & Stewart) go for 100+ each. Smith goes big with 100+ receiving.

Tied going into the 4Q. Beason & Davis were the wrecking crew. The DL led by Peppers destroys with the game on the line. Monday night game that made people talk about the Panthers as SB favorites.

Smith will remind you how a WR should run a route & destroy a secondary. You will see why a running game during the season is so important to division titles. Peppers will remind you why Burns is overrated. Gross will show you how a LT needs to block for a struggling QB (2 QB hits allowed). Otah will make you see what a young rookie 1st round tackle wearing 79 should play like to dominate in the run & neutralize the pass rush. The front 7 will show you how pressuring the QB quickly saves a sieve for a secondary.

You will be reminded what real championship football looks like & how we've all been gaslighted by the current organization.

Enjoy

San Diego, Chicago, Arizona (not that one), the season finale against the Saints, of course the Monday Night game against the Bucs

There was (I think) a 34-0 ass whupping of the Chiefs early in the year too.  That's a good one.

e2: Raiders if you want to see Jake Delhomme throw four interceptions and the Panthers pulling a win out despite that

Panthers vs Bucs on MNF is easily the best, most memorable game from that season.  Especially if you remember how we lost the first meeting that year.

The game against the Saints to close the season was awesome too.  Brees was chasing the record and Steve Smith was cooking

vs the Giants on SNF was great too.  Top two seeds.  We lost the game but it was still a fun watch.  Williams scored 3 or 4 TDs IIRC.

It was a Cam situation. He looked really solid the first half of the season, then the second half, starting in the Oakland game, just kind of started to fall apart. The run game and defense were strong enough to make up for it for a while but the playoff game was when everyone knew something was seriously wrong.

It's really a shame because Delhomme looked amazing in the first few games of 2007. 8 TDs, 1 pick before he got injured. If he's healthy, that 2008 team could have made a legit Super Bowl run.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
