“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.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
