They won't be seeing much of him unless Delhomme gets hurt, so it might be a moot point.

I do think he will see a lot of action. The last 2 years Jake has done nothing.
Carolina ia at the bottom of points scored. Most people i talk with think Jake is over rated.

Delhomme is not going to start!

Carolina has been complaining about him since the Superbowl. Jake is known as a Bledsoe type player. He throws bombs, but makes alot of stupid plays, throws too many INT's and he has one of the best WR's in the game in Smith who is also complaining about Jake.

Look for Carr to be the starter.

I agree there, completely.

Delhomme has been under fire in Carolina and I think the Bledsoe analogy is excellent. A guy who took them to a Super Bowl, lost and has been on the ropes, will now be replaced by a young guy with "the stuff". And make no mistake, David Carr has "the stuff", he has just been floundering in Houston.

This is a great career move for Carr.

I disagree. I think this is a great move for Carr, BECAUSE he is unlikely to start. While Delhomme is under the gun a bit, he is STILL the QB of the Panthers. He's a 60% passer, who throws more TDs than picks.

What makes this such a good deal for Carr, is that he comes to a team with a good OL, RBs & WRs. He also gets a chance to UNLEARN all the bad things he got from leading the league in sacks every year. I think it shows great maturity on Carr's part, because he could have gone to a team where he'd be competing for a starters job. Now he gets a chance to breathe and heal. Delhomme's 32, so he might not have to wait long, and when he does start again, we could see the second coming of Jim Plunkett

FOr the Panthers they get a back up who is better than most back ups in the league. Funny they now have the #1 AND #2 picks in the 2002 draft

Ken is right, Delhomme is the starter, Carr is there to get a mental break and try to move forward as an NFL QB. Carr was just released by one of the worst teams in the NFL, he's not going to walk in as a starter for a playoff contender.

I think Jeff garcia last year proved that if you are a backup in a good team ,given a chance you have a better chance to rekindle your career.

Last year jake got injured a bit and if this happens , carr if put in the center can look forward to a run that will improve his stocks.He is quite young too and has a chance to be a starter for the panthers.

The thing to consider with Delhomme is that he has one of the best WRs in the game right now in Steve Smith but struggled to score last year. I had Delhomme as my fantasy QB and he sucked. I had to pick up another QB because Delhomme was so bad. I don't know if Carolina will have the QB position open from the start of training camp, but they'd be smart to do so. Carr should take Jake's job away unless the light somehow goes on in Delhomme's head.
