Thoughts on Jake Delhomme this season?

It's Beuerlein... my lawyer will be in touch.

He is not great but he can still win. Then again our whole team is not great but can still win. Im just waiting for the day that our OC figures out how to beat a Double team on Smith. Dont worry I want hold my breath.

[Gman was right]

Jake will continue to struggle until this team finds another big time playmaking WR. Once defenses take Steve Smith away all hell breaks loose and then Jake becomes a turnover machine.

Jake was absolutely terrible his first game and average at best the last three. Best case scenario is he finishes with a passer rating in the 70s. Yea the offensive line hasn't played inspiring, but that doesn't excuse his excessive turning the ball over since there's another QB in the league with awful pass protection that has given the ball away only twice in the same amount of games.

Jake is a good QB, but he is not our answer for the future. We need multiple things in Carolina: 1st) A Matt Ryan type QB of the future, 2nd) Another #1 WR to play #2 WR position, 3rd) run 3 WR sets and throw the ball to the slot receiver, 4th) throw the ball to the TE's more often and last but not least 5th) better play calling, not passive or predictable like it is now.

I'll be looking for the summons. LOL. I never could spell that mf'ers name, and still won't be able to.

[rayzor]

not as bad as he could be.

not as good as we need.

[weyco2000]

Washed up, great heart on 3rd down run(LOL) to seal the win but other than that, nothing.

[Mr. Scot]

not as bad as he could be.

not as good as we need.

Decent summary.

Delhomme is an enigma right now.

Here's a better question.

Who are you more disappointed with on offense so far this season, Delhomme, Smith, or Williams?

Here's another: If one of the three above turned it up, what would the effect be on the other two? Which would benefit more?

Here are a few more. If Smith makes Jake as many believe, why is that not happening now? How many catches has Smith made to bail out Jake so far this year?

If Williams is so great then why is it the line's fault he is struggling. Guys like Barry Sanders excelled with poor line play??

Delhomme appears to be on a downward slope now at the end of his career. Which sucks for us only because we threw a bunch of money and an extension of him. Not many QB's actually improve into their mid 30's.

Marty Hurney's biggest mistake as GM has been the lack of finding an adequate replacement for Delhomme, instead just postponing the inevitable.

I remember you constantly saying Moore was certainly our future... still believe that?

Or developing an offensive system which allows any quarterback to thrive. Look at the Broncos. They take Orton who has never had a passer rating above 80 and suddenly he is 8th in the league in yards and has a passer rating of 97. McDaniels has taken the New England system which makes anyone look good (just look at Cassel) and brought it to Denver. We keep talking about Jake's decline because he hasn't done the heroics he did in year's past without looking at the system he is in. Davidson's system is hardly quarterback friendly and Henning has never been known for developing quarterback play other than Pennington's one good year last year. It is not so much of an excuse as it is to say that no matter who we get, if we don't have a better offensive scheme, we might very well not get better results. Running is great until teams scheme to stop it.
