Pro. Jake Delhomme

_ Be careful what you wish for. No matter how poorly he plays against the rest of the league, Jake generaLy does well against the Saints. It is one of those inexplicable aspect of sports. Anyone know how severe his injury is. As he did not reenter the game, he may be out for awhile. Panthers right now are running the ball better than anyone and Peppers is coming on. Saints better give Bushrod some help in pass rush situations or Brees may be in danger. Everyone says the way to beat the Saints is to run the ball and keep the offense off the field. Carolina may actually be able to do that so I see that game being closer than most will predict. Of course the Saints have to worry about the Falcons tonight. That is another reason Carolina will be in that game. Short week for the Saints to prepare for them. _

I have seen Jake play several times this year(and last)...he is not the same player he used to be. The accuracy is not there and he cannot get away from the rush. Add to the fact his line is not very good at pass blocking and you have a below average QB. He is obviously still capable of playing a good game, but he looks more like a back-up at this stage of his career.

You know who else was at the Saints game... our "Cotton Candy Man". He was selling concessions up and down my aisle at the Saints game. I thought we had exclusive rights to him at Cajun Field!!! I gave him my impersonation of him and he got a big kick out of it.

Where the heck is that guy from? I've seen him at Mardi Gras parades on the Northshore and Southshore.

He does seem to get around. But I think from what I remember from his time in the Daily Advertiser spotlight (which I'm sure he'd prefer to forget) his address was listed as being in this area.

  Though speculation about Jake Delhomme's future with the Carolina Panthers ratcheted up after he was placed on injured reserve Thursday, the team's position on him remains the same, according to general manager Marty Hurney.

"This move doesn't change anything about his future," said Hurney. "We feel the same about Jake as we did yesterday before we put him on I.R. We've made it clear we have confidence in Jake."

I'm glad he's coming back, but it is still bittersweet as he is really starting to lose his stuff. That Tommy John surgery has definitely messed with his throwing ability as he just hasn't been nearly as accurate on the deep pass. Panthers fans are so enthralled by Matt Moore that they don't realize that he isn't the long term solution at that position. The panthers really should use their first pick (2nd rounder) to draft a promising QB, bring him in and let Jake start next season while the new guy gets acclimated to the NFL. Also, this would give Jake a chance to impart any knowledge of the offense that Carolina runs to the new guy to help bring him along. Its a win/win situation, if Jake and the team does well, they'll get a shot at the playoffs and such, and if he has another bad season, the future of the team at QB can be put in somewhere around mid-season (kind of like what happened with Kerry Collins). I'm hoping for the best.
