Seriously, does ANYONE REALLY think we can make a playoff run with Jake Delhomme?...

[MVP23]

He has played Kerry Collins ball the last 3 weeks. The 05 Bears will tell you best when they say you can't hind your QB..I don't mind running the ball with these two backs that we have, but its kind of sad when we're running on 3th and 7s from the 49 yard line....Either trust in Jake, or make the change at QB..

Depends on if the old Jake is really back or if he is still gonna suck it up.

We've made 2 good playoff runs with him. Can't fault him too much for 2005 disaster in Seattle. We had 0 running backs, 0 TEs, Keary Colbert and Drew Carter at WR who are not even in the league anymore. Smitty was the ONLY weapon we had that season.

didnt you just make a thread saying you think we'll only lose one game the entire rest of the season? how is it jake will be good enough, in your opinion, to beat the dolphins, jets, tampa bay, giants, vikings, and saints, but there's no possible way to make a playoff run with him? :confused:

RT81, is that you?

No. One good game against one of the worst defenses doesn't some how correct all the problems that have resulted in Carolina sitting currently with a losing record.

It'll be pretty hard to make the playoffs after you're 4-6. Luckily you're in the weaker conference.

Wrong guy. He knows we will lose to Vikings and Patriots.

we started out 1-7 in 04 and would have made it if we would have won that last game vs the shitty saints, so yea we can still make a run

easier schedule that last stretch in 04 and a better QB.

have fun dreading the rest of the season, after losing to Buffalo I felt we blew our chance. But three solid games in a row has somewhat restored my confidence, enough to give me hope we can still do it. You don't know poo btw, I am not comparing this to 04, I am using that as an example Fox can get his team to respond despite a poor start.

[Jackofalltrades]

I absolutely do, he's done it before and can certainly do it again.

I don't think as a fan I have to always take the overly optimistic angle. I don't consider AZ and NO examples of solid QB play. The NO game you can probably blame Fox for that....but it still showed nothing except that they can limit Jake's impact (which could be good or bad). Atlanta? Yes.

Until I see real improvement from Fox/Jake....I think 8-8 is an at best scenario.

[janosha]

nope

my bad. Just the patriots.

[beastson]

Idk

If he threw like Sunday, yea we can because we have enough receiving options
