Now this is a game where you can definitely point to Delhomme as being a major factor in the win. We came out passing, which was a pretty good move by Fox and co. and Delhomme delivered. His passes were crisp and fairly accurate, and that one interception really wasn't his fault. This is the way we need Delhomme to play if we want to win a Superbowl.

Just wanted to get this out there to folks who think I hate Delhomme for some reason. When he performs like he did today, he'll get nothing but praise from me.

Rep!!:D

In all honesty, I cursed him on a couple throws. All in all though, he managed the game extremely well.

He's doing better than I expected, he just needs to get use to his newfound power and stop overthrowing, get control of those titanium guns!

Yeah, I was kind of looking for him to start sailing the ball over the receivers heads but he really didn't today. On those long passes he was just a hair long. He looked great today, and if he can continue playing like this he's given me renewed confidence in a Superbowl appearance. Granted Denver's defense isn't that great and their secondary was banged up, but Delhomme was accurate enough that I don't think it would've mattered a great deal if Denver were at full strength.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
