Sports Illustrated is on something

It's considering QB as well, and after that offensive poofest a few months ago it's hard comparing Jake to other NFL QB's.

Second, why would you think SI researches anything ?

Agreed... I'm surprised we're at 11 given the fact that they're including the QB... overall I don't really disagree with the list too much... I don't think SD should be #1 and it kinda surprises me the NO is all the way down at #17...

SD deserves the spot as much as anyone.

Most of it is just bigmarket suckjobs tho.

Jake Delhomme will prove all doubters this season, I feel very confident his numbers will look like 07( before the injury )where he was in the top 3 in FF......God I hope so!!
I think he will have a good year as well. We will see. I figure I will wait and see while everyone continues to bash him. At this point there is nothing else to say. He has to play well this year and usually rises to the occasion. We will see what we see.

Yep, Jax should be #32. I wouldn't take David Garrard and MoJo as a duo over a helluva lot of the guys they have ranked before them. :rolleyes:

Good grief.

I am also very,very tired of media saying QBs are old at 32-33-34. They are POCKET PASSERS not runners like Ronnie Mexico for heaven's sake. They aren't YOUNG but they usually can play longer than other positions because it is their brains/game knowledge that get better as they get older and are very important to being an effective QB.

I'm hoping he starts off like he did in 07. Then bandwagon gets filled with SB talk. Then he struggles mid season and badwagon unloads.. Then he gets hot around game 12-13 and takes us on to win a superbowl. Then everyone praises him as the best panther QB ever. Then I spend the next month finding all the post where they were bashing him and throw it in their faces. Its how I plan on filling up my time after the probowl.

It's always good to have a plan!:D

I think Jake will be Jake in that he'll be a model of inconsistancy. The reason people have dogged him i.e. media-types is while he's typically been inconsistent his stint here in Carolina, he's always played well in the playoffs. He layed an egg; I'm not going to re-hatch that egg and that's the reason those folks are all over him and predicting his downfall.

When I said he'll be a model of inconsistancy, I mean he'll have several games with a 90 or higher passing rating with mabe a 100+ or two sprinkled in there. On the flip side, he's going to have a few 60 passer ratings with even a 50 or two mixed in.

That's Jake--like it or not. He's good enough to make our team playoff calibre, but we just better hope that the one or two rotten eggs doesn't come in the post season.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
