"The above is a detailed way of saying the Panthers are on the hook for almost $13M guaranteed to Delhomme, a player who will be 35 in January and whose contract they could have let expire at the end of this season with no future obligation."

Wow. Someone needs to be FIRED. Also it mentioned fear of Delhomme being a free agent in uncapped season, what a joke, all that would have meant is Jake would actually have to earn his worth. So if he wanted more after this year, he would have reasons for it 2 (back to back conference titles/playoff appearance). Bet they wish they only had to pay Delhomme what he was worth now.

Jake as a free agent in an uncapped season right now isn't good for Jake at all. Not sure he will start another game..

I like Jake as a person and am glad he has financial security for him and his family. I do not blame him as we all seek to maximize our earning potential.

As a fan of the team, it concerns me that the FO made this move because it has proven to be a disaster. I see the following taking place:

1. Short term, we get a FA QB as a starter: Jason Campbell, Tavarus Jackson, or someone similar. They all have their faults but at least they aren't rookies or Jake. This plus a couple of skill position WR and some heatlh and we can make the playoffs.

2. We draft a QB of the future: 2nd to 4th round. Bradford, Hiller or someone similar who can be groomed for a year or two and does not need to be thrown to the wolves.

3. Delhomme is the number 2: Can be a good mentor to a rookie , lots of energy and as a backup should have the swagger to come into the game and make a few plays to win a game but is not a starter in this league anymore.

We have that guy, its McCown. He is a better option than Campbell or Jackson.

that contract was a mistake. franchising peppers was a mistake that led to the jake mistake.

hurney's damage control caused more harm than good. their faith in jake was their downfall. you don't go into the future with an error prone old QB with a new elbow without having a viable backup ready. IRing mccown was an even dumber thing to do.

yeah, they have done ok scrounging around trying to plug up holes where they pop up but the reason that they have to scrounge so much was they put themselves in a situation that wasn't prepared for the worse. they are trying to dig themselves in a hole that they dug themselves.

i have little faith in hurney and fox's ability to fix this problem. i'd rather get someone else in here that hasn't screwed things up yet.

sad thing is, we may be stuck with these clowns for another year since at least fox has another year on his contract.

God why are we always looking at the mediocre Qbs, its the most important position in the game wouldn't logic say to skimp elsewhere?

I am tired of carolina's qb BS, get the real deal in here with some $$$ so we can start winning multiple seasons or just two in a row for christs sake.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
