Smitty discusses Delhomme, season

[Mesmer]

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.
