I think Delhomme will be the quarterback next season, barring any more inexcusably bad performances.

But I can't help thinking that with Delhomme entering the last year of his contract, the Panthers won't search for a quarterback in the draft or free agency to ride the pine for a year before starting in 2010. At the very least, I expect Rip Scherer to begin grooming either McCown or Moore to take that starting roll.

Not a huge Delhomme fan..

But, he'll be the QB starting next season. He's still better than Moore and McCown and the FA QB list is a complete joke. We're not gonna get anyone better this year.

Besides, that game WAS Jake. He has games like this 3 to 4 times a year. This was the worst I'd seen, but it wasn't out of character. He's been fortunate not to have them in the playoffs before, but I think this was bound to happen. If you love Jake, you have to take these games with a grain of salt because they're going to happen every season, along with the games where he puts the team on his back in the final 3 minutes and wins. If you're a fan of his, you really have to take the good with the bad.

He burned some fan (and maybe mgmt) goodwill by killing us in a home playoff game, but he'll be back next year and he'll be the starter easily.

good read.

interesting about the first 2 INTs being the ones that bother him most.

i can see why. it set the tone for the rest of the game offensively and helped (along with defensive poor play) put them in a situation that they needed to try and force the ball to catch up.

still shouldn't have abandoned the run. not sure who's fault that is, though.

I maintain it's Davidson's fault. How do you only run 15 times:

a. when you have Deangelo and J-stew?

b. when the running game paved your road to the playoff?

c. when your RBs are averaging 5.5, and 4.5 ypc, respectively in the game?

d. when your QB is struggling?

e. when you want to slow the game down so your defense can get a breather and not spend, oh, 20 minutes on the field in the first half?

It boggles the mind.

Without a doubt I am more upset about Davidson and Jake for the playoff loss, than the defense. The defense actually played well in the 2nd half ~ which by then, it didn't matter.

I still don't totally blame Jake. He was just trying to make something happen. But what did we have to keep the Defense honest if we weren't running? It was pass play after pass play, you think the Cardinals weren't smart enough to figure that out and drop some extra people into coverage? Davidson was sending Jake out like lambs to the slaughter.

Delhomme is not a gunslinger. He cannot beat teams that are expecting the pass. He's a competent quarterback, but without the play-action, he's useless. If we set up the run, he can pass effectively. If we try to make him be Peyton Manning, you get 5 interceptions in one game. That's my take.

Pretty good one too, IMO...

      That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.

      Renfrow is like a litmus test for Bryce and Dave's misses. And Ejiro's D is no D at all

      And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.

      Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
