Delhomme II

Seven years ago, the Panthers scouting department found a career backup who had the leadership skills to take a team to the Super Bowl in Jake Delhomme. Carolina didn't have to invest a top 10 pick for its franchise quarterback. They got lucky. Is there another Delhomme out there right now, and do you think the abolishment of the World League and now the Arena League has hurt in terms of quarterback development? I think it has. Quarterbacks need to face live bullets so that you can see how they react and read what's thrown at them.

I agree. The jump from College to the NFL is too much for some (eh hmm Sanchez).

The problem is you really never know who is going to shine and who isn't. No one needs to mention Brady and where he went in the draft.

At this point all we need is a term I've seen flying around this board: "a game manager". Having a 3 to 1 INT to TD ratio makes winning all but impossible.

No way Moore could do worse. Do you not cringe every time Jake throws more than 10 yards? Do you realize neither Moose or Smitty has a TD this year? Only TD passes have been to the tight ends. That's pathetic.

At his point I believe Delhomme I to be the worst starting QB in the league. An improvement with a Delhomme II isn't a stretch...

      You realize the Commanders and Texans both had trash rosters. That's how they ended up with the #2 pick.   How all of sudden they go from bottom feeders to a playoff team the following season?   I think you don't realize the true impact of a franchise QB. It's crazy people still trying to debate the value of the QB position.   Y'all living in the 90's football isn't played that way anymore. The Baltimore Ravens dominate defense won in a different era. This is a QB era. You can't hit them like you could in the past. The rules have changed in favor of the QB.   Look at the elite teams in the league they all have elite QBs. Without the QB your franchise is going nowhere.   7 years under Tepper and fans still haven't realized this. Well keep ignoring the QB position and we will keep sucking. It's really that simple.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      He needs to retire. His short stint returning to play for us showed Ho bad his shoulder had degraded.  No team is going to sign him. As soon as he retires the celebration of his career can begin.

      The recipe over the last 5 years: 1. draft a guy with high athletic ability at a position of need.  2. play him out of his natural position because you have a big hole to fill. 3. watch him struggle.  4. let a young and promising talent grow depressed and apathetic because a God forsaken franchise is ruining what he has busted his ass his entire life to achieve.  The only reason Luke moved to the middle was because Beason got hurt. Think about that. It’s complete arrogance of the coaching staff to tell a player where he’s better suited… or the mark of a desperate team who drafts out of need.    This is what happens to teams that draft poorly and have no depth. Constantly working from behind and drafting for need.
