“Sometimes today’s headlines aren’t the right things (on which to base) a big decision,” said Fox. “Jake had games like that during the season. He didn’t have an especially great game at Tampa. He didn’t have an especially great game out in Oakland. I think that can be said for any quarterback in the National Football League.

“So when you’re a decision-maker, you can’t let the emotion of that one outing blur the big picture … I wholeheartedly appreciate what fans say, and the critics. But I think he had a bad game; he’s not a bad quarterback.”

Pertinent quotes:

Delhomme’s agent, Rick Smith, said the uncertainty of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement factors into the situation. Unless a CBA extension is reached, the 2010 season is scheduled to be played without a salary cap, without a lockout of players by team owners possible before the 2011 season.

That makes sense.

The Panthers’ firm commitment to Delhomme as their starting quarterback comes despite increased criticism from fans following his six-turnover performance in Carolina’s 33-13 home playoff loss to Arizona on Jan. 10.

“Sometimes today’s headlines aren’t the right things (on which to base) a big decision,” said Fox. “Jake had games like that during the season. He didn’t have an especially great game at Tampa. He didn’t have an especially great game out in Oakland. I think that can be said for any quarterback in the National Football League.

“So when you’re a decision-maker, you can’t let the emotion of that one outing blur the big picture … I wholeheartedly appreciate what fans say, and the critics. But I think he had a bad game; he’s not a bad quarterback.”

Can we now put the Cutler discussion to rest, please?

I had expected that they were going to use this cap money to sign rookies after the draft. The timing of it could make it about right for that.

all the belly aching that all the jake haters do about the QB situation is not going to stop.

they are still going to call the people who aren't on their bandwagon jake jock sniffers or whatever stupid term they have made up for the people who don't hate jake like they do.

panthers are committed to jake for the near future.

they don't have in their plans to go out and chase someone down to replace him after a couple monumentally bad games.

there are no good alternatives out there at the moment.

there are no good FAs and there weren't to begin with.

there aren't any good QBs in the draft that could make an immediate impact.

there isn't anyway that we can get cutler, even if that was a good idea.

there isn't a chance that we are going to hear then end of people screaming that all of the above is wrong.

this debate will continue even though from the team's standpoint it isn't up for debate. jake is their man going into 2009. like it or not.

i am not that big on a lot of college QBs so how will nexts year class be better i know sam bradford is better than the QBs out now..but who else

The Golden Calf of Bristol, Sam Bradford, and Colt McCoy all have my eye.

Sam Bradford being the best choice. Colt McCoy could be a decent after a year or two.

The Golden Calf of Bristol has the intangible leadership skills that can't be developed. I would draft him just to be a cheerleader.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      been living in town since March of last year after spending 15+ years out on a farm in the middle of nowhere.  Snow was beautiful out there, but always meant a lot of work dealing with the long driveway and long dirt road out and onto paved roads that were the last in the county to get plowed. On normal days it always took 20 minutes to get anywhere. when it snowed...yeah. forget about it for a couple days. still had to go to work, so i'd have to drive on all these narrow and windy snow covered backroads after dealing with my driveway and putting up with the nasty red mud slush on the dirt road. if there was an emergency or some kind of urgent issue that required you having someone drive in or going out, it was just a major stressor.  anyways, i'm just looking forward to snow in the new house in town, where my driveway is really short and the roads are plowed. i want snow that requires no work or stress on me. most people probably love the idea of being snowed in out in the country. been there. done that. i'm looking forward to snow coming in town and being able to get out and about if i need. hopefully we have some this year.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't think it will be a complete stomping at all. That's not really the 2024 KC team. They have only scored 30 points once this season(shootout versus TB) and their biggest margin of victory has been 13(vs. the Saints). I guess they clearly show better versus the NFC South but not THAT good. Not by their recent years standard.
