In Retrospect: How bad was the Delhomme Extension?


AceMan

Recommended Posts

Worse decision by the FO in franchise history IMO.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Even worse than the Seifert trade.

Reasons

1.) Cut a year later

2.) Huge cap hit this year when he would have been released anyway without the extension

3.) Prior proof of awfulness with the Arizona playoff game among other games during the season

4.) Peppers was let go to free agency

4a.) Blind Loyalty from Fox/Hurney probably was involved :out:

What say you?

Remember how the arms race and Afghanistan bankrupted the Soviet Union?

#2. Still think Gilbert was worse.

Gilbert played 4 season with the Panthers though...I think it might be close.

Those two 1st rounders were stupid and Dom Capers did say this..

"Sometimes you get in a desperate situation and you don't ever want to be in a desperate situation. You make decisions based on the fact that you don't have anybody in a position as opposed to being able to sit back and make long-term decisions that you think would be best for the organization." But Capers quickly realized he had sacrificed too much of Carolina's future for Gilbert. "There was a lot of discussion on that and my initial reaction was that it was too much," he said.[9]

    • That's likely going to tell the story. He'll have two weeks to prepare, so no excuses.
    • You don't rotate offensive linemen dude shown me one time thats happened for us that wasnt because of a player leaving due to injury or a jumbo package ill wait.
    • I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield. This is just before Bryce is going to throw it.   You have 2 players off screen downfield, one player who ran a route that never had a chance to get open and didn't even get to the 1st down line, another player just at the line to gain but late in the route because of a chip (and the worst pass catcher of the 4). Do you really think that was a "good play call" in that situation?
