Delhomme promises to get better

well then show us what you're made of, guy. I don't just want to see talking like we've always seen I want you to follow through.

"You can’t worry about making a mistake. You’ve just got to go out and play. That’s something I’ve always been able to do, and I didn’t do it well on Sunday. How do you fix it? Well, it will be fixed, I promise you. It will be fixed. I’ll be back to me."

I'll tell you what, if Jake can overcome his last two games, that man is one of the strongest-minded people in the world. No matter what he says, his confidence has to be as low as it can get. You rarely ever see a good to serviceable athlete just completely lose it, but when you do you never see them get it back. It will be one of the greatest stories in Panthers history to date if Jake can turn it around and lead us to the playoffs. I will have even more respect for him as a player and person than I do now.

i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt right now. next week? cross that bridge when we come to it.

i want to see how he responds. i want to see how the team responds to all of this. off the field the response has been good but the only response that matters is while the clock is running.

luckily for jake, there's only one direction he can go from here. :)

no, there's two. he can get better (yeah right)

or he can be benched (most likely not until another game or three like his last two)

my guess is, the staff will keep him in, he will continue to suck, and will be benched after mid season and we will win only 4 or 5 games the entire season.

didn't we just see how they responded to the arizona game?

so, you want to see how they respond to a failed response?

then what, see how he responds to the bad response of a failed response?

then..... how he responds, to a ..................

    • Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I'm pretty sure that was the best season he's ever gonna have.  
    • I swear that hire continues to make zero sense to me, but im all for it
