Warner: Jake will get through it

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, a former teammate of the Panthers' Jake Delhomme, had this take on Delhomme's recent struggles Wednesday afternoon during a conference call:

"I went through some tough stretches where it seemed like everything went against me. Even though it wasn't always me -- it seemed like every tipped ball got intercepted, every time there was a miscommunication between me and somebody, it was intercepted. Every time I got hit, the ball popped out. Everything spiraled down hill.

Warner did look done in NY. I can't think of anyone, including myself, that didn't write him off.

That being said, even in the happiest situation Jake needs to sit before he can start again. He'd got things he simply can't work out while he's on the job. He's very likely the biggest loser in Fox's decision.

Agreed, Warner out of the Mike Martz offense looked like he was ready to go back to stocking grocery shelves.

The difference of course is Warner was a former NFL and Super Bowl MVP and has twice the skills Jake ever had.

In this case however it's probably safe to write Jake off and discount a renaissance along the lines of Kurt Warner.

Very safe.

Still, we can take some small comfort in the fact that if you traveled back in time both the coach and QB of that Giants team looked destined for the scrap heap of NFL history.

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      Yeah, I am not 100% against trading down but it needs to be at the right price. Also, because this appears to be a draft lacking in a lot of elite prospects, trading down could potentially backfire(as it always can, I suppose) or net a lower yield than typical. I just don't want to be fumbling around and reaching, which in the Tepper era has been a CONSTANT problem. The organizational impatience(and incompetence) been murderous.

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

      Yeah I said that earlier all or most of these guys are broadcasting or doing the little Huddle show and stuff like that, they are affiliated this season.  I think Cam went in using the ESPN tack because it stuck it to Tepper and didn't criticize a player and that worked for him. Plus he ended up working for ESPN.....

      Sports are a different animal. It's gladiator poo. You wouldn't go out and put the uniform on of the best burger maker in your neighborhood either. So, when we watch these athletes being amazing and giving their all, it is for more than just a check. The guys that are truly driven and love these games, they are doing it for many more reasons than the money. Boiling it down to a simple transactional thing is simplistic, at best. So, yeah, I can understand how Cam can feel jilted when other great Panthers are trotted out and honored by the organization and he isn't. Especially considering he is overwhelmingly the best QB to have ever played for us and literally put this franchise into the national spotlight because of the player he was, the things he accomplished and the personality that he is. So....yeah, I would be upset about that too if I were in his shoes. The money, that the business side. That other poo, that's personal.
