Its just you and you must be an Falcon, Saint, or Buc fan because every Panthers fan knows he lost games for them last year. I have never seen on QB earn so much credit for a superbowl APPEARANCE, in my life. He couldnt even win the game for them. I would take Trent Dilfer over Delhomme any day.

Jake's alright by me. He did screw up some late game throws last year, but even Brett Favre had bad year. The signing of David Carr is a win win situation for the Panthers. Either Jake will step it up now that he will be feeling some competition in training camp or else Carr will start. and we will have the top two (overall) picks of the 2002 draft starting

he is a great player i love him for the panthers too. your cute to say that heres why any panthers fan should love him.
In 2003, he was signed by Carolina as an unrestricted free agent just one week after being granted free-agency. Delhomme dueled with Chris Weinke and Rodney Peete for the starting position through the preseason. In the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jake replaced a struggling Peete and led the Panthers to a comeback victory throwing three touchdown passes. Delhomme finished the comeback with a fourth-down, 12-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl to give Carolina a 24-23 victory. Delhomme started the second game against Tampa Bay, and as of the start of the 2006 season, he remains entrenched in the starting position. He led the Panthers to an 11-5 record, registering a record for most wins by a Carolina starting quarterback. He led the Panthers to Super Bowl XXXVIII, where he passed for 323 yard and 3 touchdowns, and he completed the longest play from scrimmage in Super Bowl history, an 85-yard touchdown pass to Muhsin Muhammad. During the 2004 preseason, Delhomme was named to the Panther's 10-year anniversary team as the team's best quarterback during the first ten years of the franchise.
The 2004 season proved bittersweet for Delhomme, as he posted career highs in pass attempts, completions, overall yardage, and touchdowns. Unfortunately, the team was decimated with injuries. Starting the season 1-7 after the losses of their first and second running backs as well as their leading wide receiver, the Panthers, under Delhomme's leadership, rallied for a fantastic second half of the season. They ultimately positioned themselves for a playoff berth, but lost that chance with a final game loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 2005 season shone some light on Carolina's future. Starting 1-2 (unlike the 1-7 start the previous year), Jake took the Panthers to 6 straight wins, an NFC wildcard playoff berth, and a spot in the NFC conference championship where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks. Jake was also been voted into the 2006 Pro Bowl for the first time in his career, along with his favorite target, Steve Smith.
Delhomme has garnered popularity as a pitch-man for the Cajun fast food restaurant, Bojangles', where he is often depicted as a single-minded fried-chicken addict who audibles Bojangles' "fixin's" at the line of scrimmage. [3] Another commercial parodies the film Jerry Maguire and the line "Show me the money!"; teammate Steve Smith is featured in a cameo. [4] Delhomme has also done SunCom Wireless limited edition cell phone commercials that feature a Panthers logo and his signature.[5]
His good natured personality has led Chris Berman to bestow him with the nickname "Jake 'Daylight come and you gotta' Delhomme", a play on the Banana Boat Song by Harry Belafonte.[6]
The official Panthers website features a regular discussion with Delhomme during the regular season, known as "Cajun Up with Jake".[7]
