Sports Illustrated is on something

It's considering QB as well, and after that offensive poofest a few months ago it's hard comparing Jake to other NFL QB's.

Second, why would you think SI researches anything ?

Agreed... I'm surprised we're at 11 given the fact that they're including the QB... overall I don't really disagree with the list too much... I don't think SD should be #1 and it kinda surprises me the NO is all the way down at #17...

SD deserves the spot as much as anyone.

Most of it is just bigmarket suckjobs tho.

Jake Delhomme will prove all doubters this season, I feel very confident his numbers will look like 07( before the injury )where he was in the top 3 in FF......God I hope so!!
I think he will have a good year as well. We will see. I figure I will wait and see while everyone continues to bash him. At this point there is nothing else to say. He has to play well this year and usually rises to the occasion. We will see what we see.

Yep, Jax should be #32. I wouldn't take David Garrard and MoJo as a duo over a helluva lot of the guys they have ranked before them. :rolleyes:

Good grief.

I am also very,very tired of media saying QBs are old at 32-33-34. They are POCKET PASSERS not runners like Ronnie Mexico for heaven's sake. They aren't YOUNG but they usually can play longer than other positions because it is their brains/game knowledge that get better as they get older and are very important to being an effective QB.

I'm hoping he starts off like he did in 07. Then bandwagon gets filled with SB talk. Then he struggles mid season and badwagon unloads.. Then he gets hot around game 12-13 and takes us on to win a superbowl. Then everyone praises him as the best panther QB ever. Then I spend the next month finding all the post where they were bashing him and throw it in their faces. Its how I plan on filling up my time after the probowl.

It's always good to have a plan!:D

I think Jake will be Jake in that he'll be a model of inconsistancy. The reason people have dogged him i.e. media-types is while he's typically been inconsistent his stint here in Carolina, he's always played well in the playoffs. He layed an egg; I'm not going to re-hatch that egg and that's the reason those folks are all over him and predicting his downfall.

When I said he'll be a model of inconsistancy, I mean he'll have several games with a 90 or higher passing rating with mabe a 100+ or two sprinkled in there. On the flip side, he's going to have a few 60 passer ratings with even a 50 or two mixed in.

That's Jake--like it or not. He's good enough to make our team playoff calibre, but we just better hope that the one or two rotten eggs doesn't come in the post season.

    • Our defense hasn't been elite. That doesn't mean that an individual player hasn't been. All an elite CB can do for your defense is greatly limit the other team's best receiver or greatly limit the passing success to his side of the field if he's a zone guy. There's still a lot of opportunity for the opposing team elsewhere.  I'm not saying he's a Luke or a Peppers. He's not. But I think he's a top 10 CB when healthy. I consider a top 10 CB to be elite. If you have a different definition, that's fine. I'm not gonna really argue where we draw that line or even if you think Horn is saying top 15 instead of top 10. Again, fine. Not really gonna argue that either. All I'm really trying to argue is that Horn is pretty damn good when he's on the field.
    • I'm not saying there's not a place for him here. I'm saying we massively overpaid for his skill set in today's NFL. Both statements can absolutely be true.
    • Has he truly been elite? I don’t recall our defense ever looking good over Horn’s career. I mean, is there even a noticeable scoring difference when he’s healthy? We have always, always overrated our guys and it’s pretty damn rare we actually have a player like Luke that it’s true. I loved Cam and he was a monster at times but we (most of us) revere him for his special plays more than results. Outside of the special 2015, he won 1 playoff game against a 3rd string QB. Don’t get me wrong, Cam was unbelievable at times but he’s a great example of us overrating players. Just for shits and giggles, I checked points against. We gave up 25 ppg from 2021 to 2024. In Jaycee’s 37 games, we’ve give up 26 ppg. I’d say Brown is far more valuable as our points against went from mediocre to record breakingly bad.
