The Carolina Panthers got pummeled 38-10 by the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday and the play of quarterback Jake Delhomme(notes) was no help: He threw four interceptions and fumbled the ball once, which he earned him the first benching he's ever had in his seven NFL seasons in Carolina.

Head coach John Fox said the offensive line didn't do a great job protecting Delhomme and that he's sticking with the boy. Delhomme will apparently be the starting quarterback next weekend when the Panthers face the Atlanta Falcons, according to the Charlotte Observer.

Still, word is starting to circulate that the Panthers might look into bringing in a free-agent quarterback just in case anything happens with Delhomme. Some are lobbying for former Oakland Raiders QB Jeff Garcia(notes) to get signed by the team, according to Bleacher Report.

bring it on..why not?

Garcia is the safe, short term solution.

Could see of the browns would take a 5th round pick for Alexander maybe? He can't be worth anymore than Cassel was, right?

I hate rumors.

Garcia doesn't want to be a backup.

[IceWhiteice]

he wont be backup long

[Mr. Scot]

Garcia has always been awful playing outside of a west coast offense, and now he's old too. Absolute no :nonod:

Of the guys available, only Joey Harrington and Gus Frerotte are worth much consideration. And neither of them is exactly a winner.

Did you see the way our starter played yesterday? If Jake continues to play like that....Garcia wouldn't be waiting long before he is the starter.

according to Bleacher Report

what the hell

[Bobby]

Knowing us, it's George we're looking at, not Garcia.

[Jaxel]

What do we have to do to give Moore a chance... Garcia wont' get us anywhere!

[rayzor]

garcia would be even worse in this system. he is a WCO QB. quit pretending that he is a better alternative.

we don't have much but garcia won't help. not here. not ever.
