ya Delhomme is lookin pretty good. better whn our running game is back. Pep is Pep. He will bring it when he has to. No worries there. Schedule is tough, its our own division tht im worried about tho. only thing tht really concerns me is the D.

oh ya and that Fox needs to be replaced thread must be a joke...........right?

I'm not sure why everyone is down on Delhomme. He's one of the few starters who hasn't sucked this preseason. He's done just fine.

Exactly! Fox's system implements a top 5 D and a middle of the pack ball control run game O. Jake is doing exactly what our philosophy is and in fact is even asked to do more than he should be. Its completely fickle to want more from our Offense. Our D needs 90% of our attention and changes.

Our D has lost all identity and is embarrassing. We could revamp our D in an off season and have a super-bowl team. If We change QBs we take a huge risk and guarantee a rebuilding year to decade. Jake gets the ball to our stars and does his job well. Our D does not.

Fox is the root of this issue and it he is not the same coach that we saw in 02,03,04,and kinda 05.

What we need if we look like the last half of last season:

Fox gone,

HUNGRY D focused Coach,

New D coordinator who is a ball buster,

Revamped D line (ALL OF EM)

Revamped 2ndary (most of em)

Same O with some more depth - the O has proven it can be effective with the player we have.

Think about it this way: Our currentO is better than our 03 SB Offense and our current D is significantly worse than 03.

So why are we focused on Jake and not 2/3 of our D first?

    • I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.
    • To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.    
    • 1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
