Delhomme cost us last 2 playoff games... a fact.

You can call that a fact, but it's really just your opinion. In all reality, Jake's not supposed to win games. When he does, be happy. It's like a bonus. For the teams that have superstars at QB, ok. Jake is not a superstar. Nobody is saying that he is. In fact, if anyone believes he is, then they should probably have their brain examined.

Jake is good at being a leader and managing football games. When he is put in a position where he's supposed to win the game, the rest of the team, as a whole, has not done their job. It's just not how we play football here in Carolina, and under John Fox, it's never going to be that way. If you need someone to blame, then fine.

Point is, no, Delhomme isn't perfect. He's not a great QB, and he never will be. You can count the # of great QB's in today's game on one hand. We don't have one. We probably won't get one. Jake's the best we have, so deal with it.

Football games are won with the 45 active players that day, and the coaches on the sidelines. That's a fact. Jake is just one of those players, like it or not.

"Tell me if I am wrong...If anybody that is a Panther fan is not tired of this consistant underachieving team "the only thing with this coaching staff/gm that is consistant" I don't no what to tell you but STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID AND WAKE-UP". Carolina is not going anywhere with this regime. You could tell by the way Julius Peppers talked after the game the only way he wants to be here is a coaching/gm change and the rest of the players with-out saying it sure pretty much acted the same way. Personally I have NEVER liked Fox or Hurney.I am tired of being the NFL poster child for most mediocre and underachieving team...Turn up the heat!!!"

says it ALL!

i am with you. all coaches and the QB must go before we will ever really be able to improve. our defensive playcalling this season was a total joke.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      By Ghostofdelhomme · Posted

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
