Rotoworld even feeling bad for us

Headline:Panthers GM Marty Hurney defended the team's signing of Jake Delhomme to a $43 million offseason extension, pointing out that the "five-year" contract is really only a three-year agreement.

Rotoworld's Comments: Some show of faith. "I catch criticism for giving Jake Delhomme a contract extension, but I think the more valid criticism will be if we don’t find that young quarterback, that guy behind him to bring up that is ready to be our guy," Hurney said. "But Jake is still a very good quarterback and still the leader of this football team." A scary reality, for sure.

I did a search and found nothing. So does this mean no matter what we are locked into paying him for 3 years? :gnorsi:

The reality is that we can dump him anytime as long as we are willing to take the cap hit. If 2010 is without a cap then we could dump him next year and take the hit with no issues. But I doubt we do that unless he implodes this year. If he gets back on track then we have a time to find and groom someone else assuming the next guy isn't on the team already.

I agree that an even worse atrocity for this team would be to not find a talented young QB to succeed Jake...

IMO we are in the same boat as the steelers were with Tommy Maddox. We have a guy that is on his last leg and are going to look for a guy this year to succeed him. That worked out pretty well for the Steelers. I just hope there is a way that we can get into the top of the draft to get one of those stud QBs.

All along I think this is the plan.

Now where they find the replacement if it's not Matt Moore I don't know.
