| 1. | Jake Delhomme | (RotoWire) Delhomme completed 19-of-42 attempts for 227 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Thursday's loss to Miami. Analysis: The Panthers strayed from the ground-heavy game plan that has been vital in their midseason turnaround over the last few weeks, throwing 42 passes and handing the ball off to running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart 25 times. In addition to his own inconsistent play, Delhomme lacks talent in his receiving corps beyond top wideout Steve Smith, which ultimately leads to struggles when the Panthers air it out. | 3 days | |
| 2. | Delhomme throws for 227 yards in loss | (Rotoworld) Jake Delhomme completed 19-of-42 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Dolphins in Week 11. He added two scrambles for 17 yards. Analysis: The coaching staff tried to coddle Delhomme's burgeoning confidence, calling more pass plays and ultimately damaging the team's chances of winning. Delhomme started a relatively strong 5-of-9 for 59 yards but fell apart thereafter while the playcallers continued to neglect a dominant rushing attack. Delhomme didn't completely melt down, however, so he's in no danger of losing his job going into next week's game against the Jets. | 3 days | |
| 3. | Jake Delhomme | (RotoWire) Delhomme completed 15-of-24 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Falcons. Analysis: It's becoming easy to forget that Delhomme was nearly replaced as the Panthers' starting quarterback prior to their Week 8 win over the Cardinals, but he's cut out the turnovers over the last three games while losing just one fumble and posting a 3:0 TD:INT ratio. Delhomme still shouldn't be deployed as an every-week starter, but he can be a useful one-week plug-in with the right matchups down the stretch. | 7 days | |
| 4. | Gross undergoes ankle surgery | (FFChamps) Updating an earlier report, Carolina Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross underwent surgery Sunday night to repair his broken right ankle. The team will reportedly place him on injured reserve later today, ending his season. Analysis: This is obviously a huge loss for the Panthers offense. You just don't replace a Pro Bowl left tackle. Jake Delhomme's blind side will be pressured more often now, which is never a good thing for a quarterback who turns the ball over as often as he does. | 7 days |
