Title: Panthers In-season Report
Post by StegRock on Sep 13^th, 2009, 11:55pm

Delhomme responsible for, like, 11 or 12 turnovers in his last two games and gets benched... That's what this LOCAL report rolling [smiley=rollin.gif] off "The REAL Feed" means by "back in playoff form":

Panthers, Delhomme back in playoff form (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/panthers/story/946182.html)
Sports: NFL / Football -- Charlotte.com (13.09.2009 20:19)
(By Charles Chandler, cchandler@charlotteobserver.com) There's no good day to have a bad day, but it's certainly not in the season opener at home while the owner with extraordinary expectations looks on with the former NFL commissioner by his side.
On the embarrassment scale, Carolina's 38-1...

Is it time to cut ties with Steve Smith? This guy is one of the biggest busts this year. He is averaging less than 60 yds a game and only has 1 TD. I'm sure I'm not the only guy that he has lost games for this year.
What do you guys think??? I can cut him and get Meachem, L. Coles or Cotchery. They are not better than him, but with Carolina's RUN FIRST, RUN SECOND offense??? What do you guys think? It doesn't help that I have Calvin Johnson too.

Post by StegRock on Nov 8^th, 2009, 10:04pm

If the league is not a keeper league, I'd say cut him for Cotchery. If the league is a (genuine) keeper league (i.e., you keep more than just a couple players), I would probably hold on to him over those guys.
