I think we will be competitive, but what exactly will put us over the edge? I hate to say it, but this team is not going to be one that is truly feared as long as Delhomme is at the healm. Don't get me wrong, I like Jake, and love his leadership abilities. But he is way to inconsistent. We need to improve at that position, or run a defense that will hold teams to 10 points a game.

Jake is my favorite NFL player ever. However, you are correct. We really wont be feared with him under center. I dont think that we will draft a QB this year but I do think Jake's time is coming to an end. Which makes me really sad. Jake (w/ smitty's assistance) has given us something to look forward to on sundays and something to remember when they are gone.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
