Panthers-Falcons Report Card

[Rod Butsecks]

h3QUARTERBACK /h3 bGrade: /bB br Jake Delhomme had a much better performance, which was a must for the Panthers going forward. His was generally sharp throughout and completed numerous passes in the clutch. His lone interception was on fourth-and-10 near the end when he had to pass rather than having the option of throwing the ball away. It wasn't his best game, but it was far from his worst. p/ h3RUNNING BACKS/h3 bGrade: /bBbr There were definite glimpses of Double Trouble even though the Panthers didn't run as much as usual because they played so much from behind and had to pass. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart combined for seven carries of 12 yards or more, including a 28-yarder by Stewart. However, both of them fumbled. Williams' fumble was his first since 2007. Williams also admitted he should have kept the ball on a flea flicker play instead of lateraling it back to Delhomme, who was sacked for a 12-yard loss.
