In practical terms, Delhomme signed a deal which will pay him $25.5 million the first three years, at which point he'd be close to his 37th birthday and likely near the end of his run as the Panthers starter. The terms are comfortable enough that he could stay beyond that perhaps a year, though too rich to allow him to be a veteran backup in the waning years.

People get too caught up in the numbers. NFL contracts are not structured like MLB. People are upset that we extended his contract but the problem is there is no one better available. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are not going to be on the market. So realisticly he gives us the best chance to win right now. Hopefully Matt Moore will develop. We will see.

:eek: If we had been patient, we could have had Mike Vick!

If we let the Huddle do his contract it would have consisted of... whatever change we can find in our cars, an expired movie pass, a 6 pack of stale Natty Ice and a coupon for "buy 2 get 3 free" bacon from Harris Teeter.

...and that offer would have only come after months of negotiating.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
