Your thoughts on Jake Delhomme?

I honestly am shocked at how many sports writers and critics make Jake Delhomme out to be this star quarterback in the league.  Im a diehard Panthers fan so I get to see this guy play a lot and I've been wanting his *** out of Carolina for a few years now.  Yes he was a big part of that 03 Super Bowl run, but back then he played with a lot of fire and passion, now he just throws his helmet everytime he throws a pick and then goes home and pigs out on all the chicken Bojangles is sending him.  He forces so many of his passes, I can't remember how many times he just chucked the ball up in the air to Steve Smith hoping he'll make a spectactular catch. Hes also very predictable, every time hes pointing down the field before he passes I almost think hes pointing to the safety or cornerback because thats usually to whom the ball gets thrown too.  When he got hurt last season I wanted Chris Weike to take his job so bad but he ended up worse than Delhomme.  Now David Carr is his backup and my only hope is he'll beat Delhomme out of the job though that seems unlikely.  My biggest fear is that the Panthers will hold on to Delhomme for way too long and will have no replacement for him when its obvious the guy has nothing left.

So does anyone here actually think Delhomme is a solid starting quarterback in the NFL or do you think hes just trash like me? 

I think he's definitely lost his touch since his SuperBowl season, but a lot of that last season was his sore thumb. I agree he throws some floaters up there for Mr. Smith, but he also didn't have a consistant running game behind him. Not only that, but most of the offensive line was hurt last season, including our best tackle in Gross.

And with all that said, I still see this team competing with the Saints for the NFC South crown with Delhomme as the starter...

My thoughts on Delhomme...a second string quarterback.

Play-o me say Play-ay-ay-o

When payoff come we wan Delhomme

He can play, you say no way, come gameday, need big play, he'll save the day-ay-ay-o

When playoff come we wan Delhomme

Fox need to work all night because playbook a-dumb

When playoff come we wan Delhomme

Defenders stack the box to the morning come

When playoff come we wan Delhomme

Fox no pass, like to run in bunch

When playoff come we wan Delhomme

LB one, LB two, LB three, and RB go crunch

When playoff come we wan Delhomme

Fox should be sneaky like black tarantula

When playoff come we wan Delhomme

keep defenders guessing to gain advantage-a

Also, they need to strengthen the line they're getting long in the tooth and give him more deep threats. sorry I couln't get this part to rhyme but you get the point.

When playoffs come we wan Delhomme.

why you want delhomme in the playoffs so he can ruin more games and throw more picks like 2 seasons ago when they almost went to conference championship ? or was that the conference championship ? i dont remember but i do remember him blowing it and blowing last season, he is worse than jake plummer was and drew bledsoe their last seasons. i put those 3 all in the same boat, used to be good QBs but aged bad and became bitter cus they couldnt win the big game. 2 of those have been dropped its time for delhomme to step aside and let carr throw some passes to smith and jarret cus now he has a decent offensive line, about damn time.Chris-Hansen

The sore thumb isn't an excuse in my opinion, he was having a bad year before the injury and other quarterbacks (Brett Farve for example) have played through worse injuries.  Heres another thought for you all, two years ago when they went to the conference championship and lost to Seattle there was a game during the regular season against the Lions where Delhomme was having one of his bad games and we were losing because of it.  The Panthers were trying to take the lead with a few minutes to go and Delhomme wasn't getting anywhere.  Then he gets knocked out and Chris Weinke comes in and throws 6 completions to Ricky Prohel and wins the game for us.  This is just my opinion, if Delhomme hadn't gotten knocked out he wouldn't have won us that game and it could have cost us a playoff berth with the playoff race as close as it was.
