Agreed.

You can only keep a rookie on the bench forso long before the learning curve passes the Bell and starts to decline. He needs onfield action coupled with coaching his performance via QB coaches and other QB’s.

When he did start, he went 2-1 against playoff calibre teams. He shows good pocket awareness, makes good reads, and has an impressive arm – both accurate and strong.

He should rightfully be given an opportunity. Now is a good time. Jake is horrendous.

Jake will probably get the slush games, though, for an opportunity at redemption. I don’t agree with this. The Starting QB job is his to lose, and in my opinion, he has done just that. Why waste an opportunity against some softer opponents to insert your 3yr rookie and get him going before the Hammer&Anvil part of the schedule?

Just my thoughts

According to Steve Reed....

 3. I think his teammates still think he’s a great guy, but I wonder if privately the players’ confidence in Jake Delhomme isn’t waning after the 0-3 start. Yes, the interception in the fourth quarter wasn’t his fault (it was Steve Smith’s), but the Panthers simply aren’t clicking on offense. I still think Delhomme is the most talented quarterback on the roster and still gives the Panthers the best chance to win. So I think coach John Fox sticks with Delhomme for at least the next three games hoping to beat three struggling opponents — Washington, Tampa Bay and Buffalo — in a last-ditch effort to gain some momentum heading into the rest of the season. However, if they lose two of the next three games then I wouldn’t be surprised to see Fox make a move to Matt Moore.
