On the day that the Panthers were supposed to begin the process of exorcising the demons of two years of underachievement, we might have seen the last of quarterback Jake Delhomme in black and Carolina blue. Five interceptions and a fumble for a 34-year-old quarterback entering the final year of his contract could be enough to prompt the Panthers to move in a different direction. Especially with a decent number of quarterbacks available via trade or free agency, and with Delhomme due to earn $5.325 million in 2009. One thing's certain -- there will be plenty of voices in Charlotte calling for the team to bid farewell to Jake. Ever since Delhomme exploded onto the scene in 2003, there has been periodic whispers and concerns that he's simply not good enough to be a high-end NFL quarterback. If there was any doubt, last night's performance removed it. And here's something to keep in mind: At one point in the 2008 offseason, agent Bus Cook was privately saying that Brett Favre wanted to play for the Panthers. That said, some might argue that Favre already was playing for the Panthers last night. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/01/10/take-a-good-look-at-jake/
I think Farve will return next season cause he has too much pride,but the question is will the jets want him to return next season or hire some fa qb.
Delhomme is such an overrated piece of crap. I would be so frustrated if I was a Panthers' fan. Oh wait... I can relate.
If they'd be inclined to draft a QB after one piss poor performance by Jake surely we'd draft one after 6-7 piss poor performances by Favre right?
and Delhomme and Chad both did their best Favre imitation except at least Chad did it against a top D unlike Delhomme Sat and Favre all season. I'd love for Carolina to get Brett, then we could get Delhomme and have a huge upgrade at QB.
Notice how kerry was doing when Chris Johnson was running through that Bal D? Notice how well Kerry played the rest of the game? and the rest of the game Lendale White ran it better than Ricky or Ronnie and Chad led his O to the same amount of points as Kerry did(minus the missed PAT which isn't the QBs fault obviously).
