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."

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

Classiest dude ever.

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.

I hope he retires a Panther.

Dude was all class (and hissy fits)

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'.

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.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
