“Sometimes today’s headlines aren’t the right things (on which to base) a big decision,” said Fox. “Jake had games like that during the season. He didn’t have an especially great game at Tampa. He didn’t have an especially great game out in Oakland. I think that can be said for any quarterback in the National Football League.

“So when you’re a decision-maker, you can’t let the emotion of that one outing blur the big picture … I wholeheartedly appreciate what fans say, and the critics. But I think he had a bad game; he’s not a bad quarterback.”

Pertinent quotes:

Delhomme’s agent, Rick Smith, said the uncertainty of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement factors into the situation. Unless a CBA extension is reached, the 2010 season is scheduled to be played without a salary cap, without a lockout of players by team owners possible before the 2011 season.

That makes sense.

The Panthers’ firm commitment to Delhomme as their starting quarterback comes despite increased criticism from fans following his six-turnover performance in Carolina’s 33-13 home playoff loss to Arizona on Jan. 10.

“Sometimes today’s headlines aren’t the right things (on which to base) a big decision,” said Fox. “Jake had games like that during the season. He didn’t have an especially great game at Tampa. He didn’t have an especially great game out in Oakland. I think that can be said for any quarterback in the National Football League.

“So when you’re a decision-maker, you can’t let the emotion of that one outing blur the big picture … I wholeheartedly appreciate what fans say, and the critics. But I think he had a bad game; he’s not a bad quarterback.”

Can we now put the Cutler discussion to rest, please?

I had expected that they were going to use this cap money to sign rookies after the draft. The timing of it could make it about right for that.

all the belly aching that all the jake haters do about the QB situation is not going to stop.

they are still going to call the people who aren't on their bandwagon jake jock sniffers or whatever stupid term they have made up for the people who don't hate jake like they do.

panthers are committed to jake for the near future.

they don't have in their plans to go out and chase someone down to replace him after a couple monumentally bad games.

there are no good alternatives out there at the moment.

there are no good FAs and there weren't to begin with.

there aren't any good QBs in the draft that could make an immediate impact.

there isn't anyway that we can get cutler, even if that was a good idea.

there isn't a chance that we are going to hear then end of people screaming that all of the above is wrong.

this debate will continue even though from the team's standpoint it isn't up for debate. jake is their man going into 2009. like it or not.

i am not that big on a lot of college QBs so how will nexts year class be better i know sam bradford is better than the QBs out now..but who else

The Golden Calf of Bristol, Sam Bradford, and Colt McCoy all have my eye.

Sam Bradford being the best choice. Colt McCoy could be a decent after a year or two.

The Golden Calf of Bristol has the intangible leadership skills that can't be developed. I would draft him just to be a cheerleader.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
