The Carolina Panthers lose QB Jake Delhomme for the rest of the season
The Panthers will be without Jake Delhomme for the remainder of the season after he underwent serious right elbow surgery. This is a huge blow to the Panthers as Delhomme was playing at a Pro Bowl level this season. He completed 55 of 86 passes (64%) for 626 yards with 8 TD passes and 1 interception (111.9 QB Rating). He also carried the football 6 times for 26 yards (4.3 ypc). It will be now up to David Carr to keep the offense running at a high level if he has what it takes. He has not played too well yet this season for the Panthers. He has completed 32 of 62 passes (51.6%) for 330 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 interceptions (64.6 QB Rating) and he also carried the football 9 times for 33 yards (3.7 ypc). If Carr’s back acts up like it did last week the Panthers will have no choice but to turn to undrafted rookie Matt Moore who has completed 1 of 2 passes for 43 yards this season. Look for the Panthers to run the ball more with Carr at QB.
