Delhomme

I dont know if this has been talked about yet since i don't know how to search it but do you guys think Carolina will restructure Delhomme's contract to open up some cap space for Peppers in case he doesn't get traded?? And if they do, do you think Delhomme will take a paycut to stay in Carolina??

I can't see Jake being asked to take a paycut, that would be an admitting lack of performance/confidence. it's more likely they sign him to a long term backloaded deal knowing he probably won't play it out.

Remember you have to take into fact the 30% rule on contracts now because of the uncapped year. So his contract extension couldn't be too back loaded. They can't really restructure either since he's in the last year of his deal. He would have to be extended.

I dont think they will restructure his contract at all, they'll let him do his thing this yr. and if he shows no improvement or they dont have a decent backup he'll be gone the next season.

I'm not sure they have much choice he has a 5.3 million cap number, it's pretty much extend or cut and he's not getting cut.

Let me rephrase, relatively backloaded.

They will probably extend Jake by three years.

For all of those who want Jake cut and replaced, who are you going to replace him with?

A rookie? Who has never taken a snap in the NFL. You do realize that most rookies struggle for several years starting out. ryan was an exception to the rule. And Flacco did not play that well...he just had a defense that was pure nastiness.

Someone like Brady Quinn, or Anderson, etc... The "hot " name of a back-up. Someone who has never proven anythign as well.

Jake is not a spring chicken and the Panthers do need to start grooming someone to be his replacement. However, he should and will start for the next few seasons.

Stop trying to interject logic into the discussion. You know that one bad playoff game totally overshadows everything else. Same as Manning in New York.

    • I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today. 
    • You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
