...for a guy that was benched for him to start earlier in the season.

I don't think Del Rio's gonna survive a week into January.

I'm seeing shades of John Fox's last season with the Panthers here. All that's left is signing and starting Brian St. Pierre.

The benching was ridiculous. Jack did it simply so he could try to keep his job for another week.

Blaine Gabbert has no offensive line and no receivers.

Benching him was pointless and counter productive.

maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen a couple plays a game from Gabbert that make me think that given time and an offense that actually functions he could be a decent QB in this league. Admittedly I haven't seen more than highlights in the last 3 weeks, but the games I did watch were filled with drops and a terrible o-line that couldn't pass block for more than a second.

I am glad we took Cam over him but I think the jury is still out on Gabbert...

[Grammer]

cool maybe we can bring del rio back as a DC

[footballisasport]

First off, his last name is Gabbert. And second, those in the media who hyped this kid while putting down the other QBs during the draft, knew this kid's track record.

That is why they didn't want anyone focusing too much attention on his college tapes.

What is so funny is, Cam, Dalton, Jake, and Ponder were all scrutinzed for their accuracy and footwork issues by the media. Cam was told over and over again, by those who faithfully back Blaine, that he needed to prove that he belong in the NFL. While Blaine was labeled as the most NFL ready QB out of the bunch by Mayock and the majority of the elite media. Yet all u would hear folks like Mayock claim was Blaine only problem was he had occasional "happy foot." REALLY????

So the bottomline is, if the media hypes an athlete without much to show for the hype, we must simply believe it and fault everyone around them before we fault them.

I wouldn't do that if I were you, considering Del Rio is terrible when it comes to defense.

Wow...u're starting to sound as bad the some of the Panthers fans when it comes to accepting the fact that the Panthers' defense SUCKED.

I called in when Blaine got drafted that the media knew this kid wasn't worth a high pick and was going to throw everyone but the kid under the bus. And u REALLY wonder why 10 other teams passed him by.

Cam and the Panthers offense is putting up some serious numbers that should mean wins for them but their defense SUCK and everyone knows it. But that isn't stopping those who are quick to blame everyone but Blaine for his bad playing to point out any little fault that exist in Cam as the reason why the Panthers are 3-8. HYPROCRITS.

I wish you would get hit by a bus or something

First off, it's hypocrites. And second, can you name a Jaguars WR that is worth a lick off the top of your head?

I don't see how Jaguarfan is so off base. Granted, I don't have any intimate knowledge of the Jaguars...

I did my homework on all of the rookie QBs in this year's draft and honestly I've always felt that Blaine should have NEVER been in the first half of the draft. I would have taken Cam, Jake, Dalton, Ponder, and even Mallett, with all of his so called "issues" over Blaine. Blaine lucked out because Andrew Luck stayed in college and he ended up with a very media friendly agent.

It's funny how Cam going number one meant that he had to prove himself but Blaine having a team reach up and get him at # 10 means that he's that good but need some time under his belt to prove himself.

My how we adjust our logic to suit the individual. Not u per-say...but I'm just saying.

[Dpantherman]

Kind of surprised Del Rio has lasted this long. He's 1-2 in the playoffs over a 10 year span. And sub .500 overall. Never really understood why he still has a job there.

[Jangler]

Jacksonville still has a team?

[dimbee]

And here I had no idea that Mel Kiper had joined the huddle...
