Veretax Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I did a search but didn't find this in this section so: PFT: Delhome heads to IR, career in Charlotte could be over Posted by Mike Florio on December 24, 2009 10:28 AM ET The Jake Delhomme era in Carolina apparently is over. We think the correct term is "euthanasia." Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Panthers have placed Delhomme on injured reserve. Delhomme joined the team in 2003, and he replaced Rodney Peete as the starter at halftime of a Week One game against the Jaguars. Trailing 17-0 at the time, Delhomme rallied the Panthers to a 24-23 win. He started all of the remaining games that year, culminating in a narrow loss against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. In 2009, Delhomme had his worst season as a starter. During 11 starts, Delhomme threw eight touchdown passes and 18 interceptions, for a 59.4 passer rating. That's more than ... Click here to read the entire article So my question is this, do you think Carolina will really part ways with Jake DelHomme after just giving him another Contract? Does his keeping depend on the coaching situation (Does Fox Stay or get the Axe?) Or does Carolina decide they would be better off with a serviceable Veteran or a Rookie as to stay with Delhomme? For the later what teams could they look to maybe find a Veteran journeyman? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I think Matt Moore is the answer to the question in Carolina. I remember when Dallas brought him in as an undrafted free agent and he had shown what he could do. Was pretty impressive. Beating Minnesota last week and if he can pull of a win at New York could let him be the starter heading into the 2010 campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Moore did look pretty solid in that game, but then it may depend on who's available in free agency too I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Moore did look pretty solid in that game, but then it may depend on who's available in free agency too I suppose. Yeah and in the draft as well. Carolina does not have a 1st round pick so they will be missing out on some solid talent at the QB Position. Talent is still left non the less but guys like McCoy and Bradford will be gone (The can get Tebow :hysterical:). The only notable QB's hitting the market in 2010 are Jason Campbell, Chad Pennington and Tavaris Jackson. Orton is Restricted and I fully expect Denver to resign him (if not done already). That puts Carolina in a bind ... do you trust your franchise with a guy like Campbell? Pennington? Jackson? I like Matt Moore's upside much more.

Paulie Walnuts Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have as much chance of being on an NFL roster next year as Delomme does. What does that tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA Cowboy fan Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 All depends on if Fox stays.....which depends on if Cowher wants the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklight1216 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have as much chance of being on an NFL roster next year as Delomme does.What does that tell you? I think he could at least be a back-up. Even Kyle Boller found his way to stay in the league. Delhomme can too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scskin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Since they are considering getting rid of DeAngelo Williams we'll do a swap for Jason Campbell straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 What about Culpepper? could he fit in Fox's Philosophy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 If it's uncapped next season, can't they pretty much unload him regardless of the extension? I'm not very knowledgeable in the cap/CBA stuff, so maybe someone could answer that. Regardless, they needed to bench him awhile ago. He can be a serviceable backup.

[[ghost]] Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Moore looked good. Carolina would be smart to try to develop him. After all, they don't have a second rounder again this year. They traded with the 49ers to draft Everette Brown last year. The Niners could actually look solid next year again. They have a team that was somewhat competative this season, and was technically still in the playoff hunt until this past game. With two first rounders, they could really accomplish something.

Bubble Screen Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Moore will never be a quality starter in the NFL. Take it from someone that's actually watched the guy play more than just Sunday night. He was horrible vs Tampa Bay. Tampa turned the ball over about 6 times that game and he barely managed to get a win. He was awful vs NE. He's a solid #2. But again, he's never gonna amount to anything as THE guy.
