Title: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Sep 23rd, 2007, 8:02pm Delhomme leaves today's game with freak throwing arm injury... according to "The REAL Feed": Carolina QB Jake Delhomme hurts arm throwing pass (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/09/23/2020.ap.fbn.panthers.delhomme.injured.0132/index.html) SI.com: NFL (23.09.2007 19:10) Carr looked great in limited action. This could be his BIG shot behind a real o-line. He should now be front and center on your radar... [smiley=radar.gif] If Delhomme's injury is at all extensive, this is an injury to the elbow of his THROWING ARM,... Carr will start flying up the value rankings. [smiley=yes.gif] |

Title: Re: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Sep 24th, 2007, 2:52pm Update on Delhomme... from "The REAL Feed": Delhomme won't need surgery on injured elbow (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3034246&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines) ESPN: NFL (24.09.2007 13:52) Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme will not need surgery on his injured right elbow and will be day-to-day leading up to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. But, "official" status aside, how long can an NFL quarterback really go with a hurt elbow to his throwing arm? To me, he hasn't looked that great so far, and it is just a matter of time before Carr takes over,... especially now. |

Yikes... talk about lofty expectations. He's been great, fantasy-wise, so far this season. He's got 8 TDs and only 1 INT. He's got a 111 QB rating, which is darn good. Only 2 QBs have thrown for more TDs (Tom Brady and Carson Palmer). I'm not sure why there would be a rush to get David Carr in there, unless the injury really limits Delhomme's capabilities. |

Title: Re: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Sep 24th, 2007, 5:47pm Yes, at the end of the day, numbers are numbers and that is what drives fantasy football. But, I contend that his numbers or, at least, play this season is deceiving... First off, the Panthers have played 2 O-and-3 teams with poor pass defenses, one of whom has a poor defense overall. Week 1 he had a legitimately good game, though not great yardage-wise, but he didn't need to to win that one. Then, the next game, a home loss to the mighty Texans, he threw two early TD strikes, but his yardage numbers were modest, and he SLUMPED BIG time in the middle of the game, which I think was largely what cost them the game. All of his numbers were accrued (somewhat like the great Joey Harrington this past week against the Panthers) in chuck-it-up, desperation comeback mode. Then, there is this past week against the mighty Falcons, a game in which he, at one point, was 6 for 12 for like 80-some yards before going out in the second half of the third quarter with a stat line of 10 for 18 for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns. Yes, he didn't get the full game in, so who knows what he would have done...? But, I take it to be the case that his lack of (again, mid-game) productivity was what was largely responsible for their having a tough time with the Falcons. Yes, he hasn't thrown interceptions. And, fantasy-wise, he's had one GREAT week, one VERY GOOD week, and one decent week, i.e. no BAD weeks, but I think there is a "between the lines" to read on him, not the least of which involves the fact that they brought Carr in to "back him up". That's my take. [smiley=threed.gif] |

Title: Re: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Oct 4th, 2007, 6:50am How about this nugget from a LOCAL source buried deep on "the Gridiron Newsstand"???

Title: Re: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Oct 9th, 2007, 1:42am Panthers to continue ridin' in the Carr... [smiley=cruisin.gif] Delhomme done for season... according to "The REAL Feed": Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme to have season-ending elbow surgery (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/10/08/2020.ap.fbn.panthers.delhomme.out.4th.ld.writethru.0772/index.html) SI.com: NFL (08.10.2007 19:31) Although, it must be noted that that "Carr" has a banged-up rear fender... His status for this week is actually uncertain. That guy who came in and threw a 43-yarder, Matt Moore, is next on the totem pole. |

Title: Re: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Nov 21st, 2007, 3:31pm Boy, did I read this guy wrong... Carr out as starting QB indefinitely and Vinny in!

Title: Re: Panthers In-season Report Post by StegRock on Nov 25th, 2007, 3:57am Well,... it looks like Fox is going to have to rethink his QB situation on short notice... according to "The REAL Feed": Stiff back could sideline Testaverde vs. Saints (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3125511&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines) ESPN: NFL (24.11.2007 13:31) Quarterback Vinny Testaverde was listed as questionable for the Panthers' game Sunday against the Saints after he showed up for practice Saturday with a stiff back. I know Carr hasn't looked good, but, with all due respect to Fox and Vinny, this is what you get when you opt to go with a 44-year-old [smiley=wiseman.gif] rent-a-QB who was out of the game until about a month ago. :-/ |
