I love this team’s grit, the running game and the fact that they are our “home team” but I just can’t bring myself to become a true Carolina Panthers fan right now. I have actually felt this way for a couple of years and my reason seemed not to make sense to other fans for a while but now I think you all can agree with me. Jake Delhomme is the reason I can’t support this team.
I’ve even been a big fan of Coach John Fox and what he’s done with the team over the years, but his insistence on keeping Delhomme as his starter over the past 3 years has made me question his coaching ability as well. What does Coach Fox think he’s going to get if he keeps sticking with this hack? I tell you what he’s going to get, FIRED!
I want to be clear now on this, I have not been a fan of Delhomme since he became the QB of this team, I could just feel that he was like some dude that was on a seriously hot, lucky streak that was just a game away from ending. The team and its talented players on both sides of the ball were masking a lot of what seemed to be obvious flaws in the guy’s game. I could see it but for the past 3 years I felt like the guy in the story “the emperor has no clothes” and I was the only one who could see it or admit it! You cannot tell me that A.J.Feeley or even Matt Moore could do better than what this guy is doing right now. Or how about the dozen or so good Quarterbacks that have been available to the team over the past few years in the form of free agents or off the waiver wire. I mean Jeff Garcia was sitting right there and they didn’t go for him and waited for the Eagles to pick him up and then dump Feeley so they then grabbed him! I feel sorry for all the players on the team who go out every week and have to suffer through a game where they are busting there asses to win, they get in the open and then have a 10 yard pass sail over their heads into the opposing teams hands for another score! Come on Coach Fox, please see the light that everyone else can see, please stop this torture we endure every Sunday, you have a “open wound” that’s making your team bleed to death, FIX IT NOW!
Remember the movie “King pin”? Woody Harrelson’s character
was named Roy Munson and remember how his name became the cliché’ for when a person screws up? Like don’t pull another “Munson” dude? Well I think Munson should be replaced by: Don’t pull another Delhomme, dude! I hope Coach Fox can finally stop this painfully tragic comedy taking place each Sunday and stop pulling a “Delhomme” himself every weekend. Give the Carolina’s a team with a real Quarterback. I mean there’s got to be one guy out there better than what we have now!
