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.

http://www.neworleans.com/sports/local-sports-news/pro-football-news/147982-jake-delhomme-sticks-around-for-awhile.html

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

      Observer Projections / *Updated Panthers Waiver Additions

      this is where the Bryce defense goes off the rails for me.  We all know Bryce isn't a deep ball chunk play QB.  He doesn't have those physical tools and he doesn't play the game w/ that mindset.  It simply is not what he is.  Then you got folks going essentially going, well actually Shaq was a very efficient 3 pt shooter this season.  He shot 50% from behind the arc and Steph Curry was only at 48%.  So yeah, Shaq is a very effective 3 pt shooter.  Don't say he isn't a 3 point shooter.  Meanwhile, Shaq went 1 of 2 on the season and Steph shot 9343924 3s.  Russell Wilson is a deep ball chunk QB.  Baker is. Geno was his comeback season (best in the league that year I think is the correct call).  That's the Canales pass tree. EVERY QB throws deep at some point.  Arguing you can find a good grade when they went deep one week is just that.   No one can argue Bryce plays the game like a young Wilson throwing f you hail marys downfield.   Jake Delhomme fits Canales more than any Carolina Panther QB.  Teddy Bridgewater can grade out efficiently on his deep passes.  That doesn't make him a deep ball chunk QB.  2 totally different convos.    It would be better for everyone IMO if our org accepted what the unicorn was and built a team around that given they invested so much in him.....which is the criticism I started day 1 when they put him in Frank Reich's offense.  He didn't fit that.  He doesn't fit the Canales tree either.    NFL is about fit more than anything and it's what Carolina gets most wrong.  We essentially run offenses we don't have the QB talent for and you can say the same w/ the 3-4 D.  That's the Bryce era.

      THE David Moore !?!?! We're saved. I expect TMac to have 200 catches, 3k yards, 20 TDs and be uncoverable this year with all the information he can get from watching our HoF WR David Moore.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      By Super Grateful · Posted

      I didn't see anyone post about this, we signed Hendon Hooker to our practice squad. With Dalton hurt and looking like shite, could he perhaps roll into the season as our backup?
