Jake's Contract Discussed on NewOrleans.com

It's interesting to see such a favorable opinion of Jake, Fox and the Carolina Panthers in general on a New Orleans Web site. Granted, it's a Pro Football News piece, but it's cool to see it up there nonetheless.

The fans who've done their homework also know that Carolina plays the second-toughest schedule in the NFL this season. All but one opponent on the schedule was at least break-even (Buffalo at 7-9 is the only sub-.500 team on the slate).

But those Panther fans are looking too much at one post-season game and missing the big picture. Every level that Delhomme has ever played, he's been successful when given a chance. And don't think that's lost on the Panther coaches.

There's no question that Fox and the Carolina organization are going to be watching a lot of tape of young QB's already in the league and promising college standouts over the next couple of years. They're going to be searching for that "quarterback of the future." They have to. Jake turned 34 in January, having gotten a way-late start and rolled over many bumps in his early NFL career.

But for the next couple of years, he's locked in - contracturally and spiritually - and he and the Panthers figure to be back in the playoff hunt six months from now.

I think we garner lots of respect from around the league at every level, ownership, coaching, and on the field.

I really enjoyed John Clayton's article on ESPN discussing Delhomme and his role in our offense. We signed a player who knows our system for very little money when compared to other starting quarterbacks in the league. I'm not saying that Jake is the future of the franchise, he's simply filling in until we find that player.

i agree good piece, the eagles have to pay 25 million to mcnabb over the the next two years with his new contract.

Exactly *fan base*

Fan bases are dumb.

Didn't you see the "Should the Panthers get Michael Vick" poll.

I did not say it would be the way to conduct business. But I am glad that you said fanbases are dumb on THIS thread. Kind of proves my point and opinion of the thread in a much more direct way than I did.

rep for you

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.

      only 1 QB in the history of mankind has managed a winning record with his opportunities in the David Tepper era.    Bring in PJ.   He has NFL tools.  He will at least be entertaining if called upon.  How is that not better than Andy.  *PJ Walker bandwagon is back up now that it is....not...time for for the percolator.
