Jake Delhomme May Retire

[chknwing]

Houston Texans quarterback Jake Delhomme isn't ready to say he's officially retiring, but the 14-year veteran said his playing career is likely over after Sunday's season-ending 20-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

On NFL Network

"NFL Replay" will re-air the Ravens' 20-13 win over the Texans and the Patriots' 45-10 win over the Broncos on Wednesday, Jan. 18 at midnight ET.

“I’m being very realistic,” Delhomme told the Houston Chronicle. “I turned 37 last week. I’m not moving my family. I’m (not) going somewhere to start over. This kind of fell into my lap, so to speak."

I hope he retires a Panther.

Dude was all class (and hissy fits)

[teeray]

We owe it to him to retire as a Panther if he wants to and retire his #17. His contributions go far beyond just his accomplishments on the field.

Classiest dude ever.

[carolinarolls]

should've retired after 04-05

[AntiBuc]

Just come home Jake, do the 1-day contract, and retire a Panther. Bring Hoov with you.

Definately he will sign w/ us to retire. GREAT dude.

but his number shouldn't be retired.......he is the greatest QB to of played here but that also shows how young our franchise is and the fact we haven't done poo.

Does he get a statue?

[Mr. Scot]

Agree on having him retire as a Panther. Wouldn't retire his number though. Iffy on the statue.

Delhomme was always pure class and fire on gameday.

Let Cam have a hissy fit, and it's "He's gotta work on his attitude" "Terrible attitude" "He isn't a team player" "He isn't a leader" some fans seriously have a double standard. But noooooo Delhomme's fits made him 'fiery'.

[Kurb]

He's just a QB people. He set no records and won no Superbowls. you need to do stuff like that for Jerseys and Statues.

As a fan base we REALLY need to up our standards.

I think him and smitty should do one more Bojangles commercial. Like Thelma and Louis.

[teeray]

He should be honored in some way other than an invitation to retire as a Panther. I say retire his number. No one wants to wear #17 anyway. It is a pooty number.

That would be cool, then at the last moment Cam flies in and saves Smitty.

Cam did have a hissy fit, though a more understated one than Delhomme's tended to be, in the Texans game.

Nobody complained that I can recall.
