Who the %^&^% do we replace him with?

Simple question.

Are there any Matt Cassels hiding on somebodies bench we don't know about.

Ryan adn Flacco were flukes. You may draft a Qb to grrom but you do not generally draft one to start.

So say we carry out your plans and pink slip Jake.

What next??????????????

That's a scary question but a good one. However, most (including myself) may not like the answer: NO ONE!

Free agency is not a good place to find future QBs and there's slim picking in this year's FA crop will excite anyone. We have no first round pick (not complaining, getting Otah was a good move), getting a future QB this year is out of the question. A third point is, Fox will stick with Delhomme come hell or high water and there's no reason to think he won't be the starter in 2009 as long as Fox is calling the shots.

Beyond next year (when his contract expires), who knows?

Jake aint gonna live forever boys & girls. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.

Very true, and there lies the problem. The organization has placed all of their "eggs" in Jake's basket w/o planning for the future for too long. They tried Carr, but he was a colossal failure. Matt Moore? I'm not sold on him yet, and I'm of the thinking that undrafted players are such for a reason. I'm not sure sitting for 2-3 years watching Delhomme is the best development plan, but unfortunately, it seems like the only "development plan" Fox's coaching staff has in place for QBs. I guess getting a real QB coach would be too much to expect.

Delhomme comes back next season but you have to have him accountable. Put pressure on him with a capable back up.

Is it a free agent? is it Matt Moore? Don not laugh but is it Josh Mccown?? He has the same skill set (better feet) as Delhomme but has a better arm and has a year under his belt in the offense. Just make it competitive...and have the "cohonies" to deliver some tough love. That's you Foxie!!

This morning on local sports radio they threw out Kerry Collins name. Kerry stated he will only play next year if he is a starter and that will probably not happen in TN with so much invested in Vince Young. Don't kill the messenger...just found that name being tossed around rather interesting considering the history. He does still live in the area also........

When you get your ass kicked, it's really hard to blame one person. I blame Jake a lot BUT I really think Fox and his game plan is more to blame for the Arizona loss than Jake or even the o-line. We were beat by a better coaching staff. Arizona wanted it more, their team was more focused, bottomline.

As far as QB. The Panthers need to do something. Keep Jake because there really is nobody much better out there BUT the Eagles had to give Donovan a scare and we needed to give Jake one after the Raiders performance.

The signs were there. Didn't even really feel confident going into this game with Jake? I didn't. I watched tape of our last 6 games and really felt he had lost himself.

Even if Jake plays well, we are crazy as a team not to be preparing a replacement for him. Sooner or later he's going to get too old to play, not to mention injuries happen in this league and we need to have a plan. I don't know if our backups now are that person or not.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
