Pro. Jake Delhomme

Carr won't play well.


I think realistically Jake has one more year in Carolina.

What happened to the Lefors (spelling) kid that Carolina drafted out of Louisville? I remember him being the back up either last year or the year before. If memory serves right, he looke pretty good in pre-season.

There are dozens of uncertainties about the Carolina Panthers' quarterback situation and just one sure thing: The team's traveling circus will move on without Jake Delhomme. The Panthers had an odd practice Wednesday. Vinny Testaverde and Matt Moore were the quarterbacks. Delhomme and David Carr watched. It's a good thing Delhomme didn't give Carr a big slap on the back with his throwing arm or Testaverde might have to stick around Charlotte until he's 60. While I believe Carr will start Sunday at Arizona, Delhomme is done for 2007. He will have Tommy John surgery next week on his throwing elbow. He said doctors have told him he can throw lightly in four months and he should recover fully in seven to nine months, in time for the Panthers' 2008 training camp. "I'm going to be a part of this team," Delhomme said Wednesday in a group interview, his first since he decided Monday to have surgery. "I will travel with this team after I do my surgery. I'll be on the field on Sunday. I'll be a cheerleader. I'm a Carolina Panther. It's just that I can't put on the uniform right now." That's too bad, because he was headed toward his best season. His career-high quarterback rating of 111.9 ranks second in the NFL to New England's Tom Brady. The rest of the story SCOTT FOWLER

Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme is confident he'll recover from elbow surgery and be pain-free for the start of training camp next year. Delhomme will undergo ligament replacement surgery next year week. Pitchers usually take more than a year to recover from what's known as ``Tommy John'' surgery. Delhomme hopes to start throwing again in February. Delhomme shielded his elbow pain from reporters and many of his teammates over the past two years. He never had an MRI. The rest of the story

Jake shows again that he is a 120% class act. This is what it means to be a team mate. With a season ending injury, he could easily come back home and enjoy the time off in a new house. But instead he will be the team mate everyone expects.

Hey, Z, uhhh ... I mean Ben, sorry I missed you guys last weekend. I knew it would be a victory, since I was NOT there. I think I am usually a bad-luck charm. And when my friend Ron comes with me, we are the Black Death! Together we have been to numerous UL games (FB, BB, & Baseball), to an LSU game and to a couple of Saints games and I don't think we've seen the first victory yet! I take it back, after watching the Cajuns fall to Stanford the first time at the 2000 CWS, we did see LSU beat Texas. There, so we are 1 - (A LOT)!

I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it back to Cajun Field this year. It is NOT from lack of desire to see the Cajuns play. It is more of a work thing. Working for the Boy Scouts, it seems weekends are almost always involved with some type of event or activity.

Elbow at full extension; light weights come next Injured Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme met with the media Wednesday for the first time since having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow six weeks ago today. "I feel great," Delhomme said. "... I'm at 100 percent flexion and extension. We can actually start doing some light weights tomorrow. Delhomme said he won't throw until at least mid-February. "I won't rush," he said. "... Dr. (Pat) Connor told me, `Hey, from week eight until week 16, you're going to twiddle your thumbs. That's part of it. And I will not try to go and throw a ball in the backyard, because that makes absolutely no sense." Delhomme added: "Everybody thinks you get smarter as you get older; maybe you just learn a little bit from being dumb when you're young." Delhomme said he's getting treatment seven days a week, even on the mornings of Sunday road games. He'd like to be back before training camp. "I'm very optimistic," he said. "Maybe I'm too optimistic, but that's just my nature." The rest of the story STAN OLSON solson@charlotteobserver.com

It is pretty clear that the Panthers need real insurance at quarterback for next season. If they invest a high draft pick, or serious dollars at the spot, Jake might get screwed by the football gods.
