Player Analysis: Delhomme is a smart QB who uses his smarts to overcome less-than-ideal physical abilities. He can make all the throws, but he doesn't have a strong arm, and isn't a threat to run. He has improved his QB rating the past 3 seasons, reaching 88.1 last year when he threw for 3421 yards and 24 TDs. The former NFL Europe player is a fierce competitor and will do whatever he can to win. He has played in every game since taking over as starter in the 2003 opener.
Fantasy Football Impact: Delhomme has a new target in Johnson and a strong running game behind him. With the weapons around him, expect Delhomme to improve even more this year, pushing his QB rating over 90 and putting up fantasy-starter numbers.

Panthers QB Delhomme upgraded to probable - 12/28/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme
practiced again Thursday and was upgraded to probable for the
Panthers' final regular season game at New Orleans.
Delhomme. who has been sidelined since suffering ligament damage
in his right thumb against Philadelphia on Dec. 4. will likely
start Sunday against the Saints in a game the Panthers must win to
keep their playoff hopes alive.
They also could be eliminated by the time they play if the New
York Giants beat Washington Saturday night.
Coach John Fox said Delhomme suffered no setbacks after his
first practice in more than three weeks on Wednesday. He again
worked with the first team on Thursday, while wearing a protective
glove on his throwing hand.
"He slung it around pretty good today," Fox said.
Chris Weinke has struggled filling in for Delhomme in the past
three games, although Carolina (7-8) beat Atlanta 10-3 last Sunday
to stay alive in the playoff race.
If the Giants lose to Washington on Saturday night, Carolina
would have to beat the Saints on Sunday afternoon and Green Bay
would have to lose to Chicago Sunday night.
Delhomme, who led the Panthers to the NFC championship game last
season, has had an up-and-down season. He has 15 touchdown passes,
11 interceptions and passer rating of only 79.4. In three losses
he's thrown fourth-quarter interceptions to end Carolina's chances,
including the last pass he threw against the Eagles.

Source: National Football League News Wire Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake
Delhomme was inactive for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, giving
Chris Weinke his second straight start.
Delhomme hasn't been able to play or practice since suffering
ligament damage in his right thumb in Carolina's loss to
Philadelphia on Dec. 4. He tried to throw on the side before
Friday's practice, but had trouble gripping the ball.
Delhomme had his streak of 66 straight starts snapped last
Sunday in a loss to the New York Giants. Weinke threw for a
team-record 423 yards, but also had three interceptions.
Tight end Kris Mangum (hip) and running back Nick Goings
(shoulder) were also inactive.
Cornerbacks Chris Gamble and Ken Lucas, who both missed last
Sunday's game with hamstring injuries, were on the active roster
Sunday. | | | Delhomme misses practice again with thumb injury - 12/08/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme missed
practice again Thursday with ligament damage in the thumb on his
throwing hand, increasing the chance backup Chris Weinke will start
on Sunday against the New York Giants.
"It's just real sore," Delhomme said. "There's a lot of
swelling and we're trying to get the swelling out. I think the big
issue is strength and how much strength I have in it."
Delhomme said although he's having trouble gripping the ball, he
may try to practice on Friday.
"We're going to try," Delhomme said. "I'm treating the heck
out of it and I'm very optimistic. We'll see."
Coach John Fox said the ligament is stretched and not torn off
the bone, which is why he doesn't need surgery. Fox didn't rule out
that Delhomme, who is still listed as questionable, could still
play on Sunday.
"We've had guys, experienced guys, that have been limited in
practice and still played," Fox said. "He'd be that kind of guy,
if it came to that."
Delhomme was injured when his right hand hit Eagles defensive
tackle Darwin Walker's helmet on his 9-yard touchdown pass to Steve
Smith in the first quarter of Monday's loss to Philadelphia.
Delhomme continued to play and threw two fourth-quarter
interceptions, the last coming in the end zone with 25 seconds
left.
Delhomme, who also missed practice on Wednesday, hasn't missed a
game since he took over for Rodney Peete at halftime of the 2003
season opener.
The 34-year-old Weinke hasn't been a full-time starter since the
2001 season and has thrown only 13 passes in four seasons. He could
be forced into duty in a critical game for the Panthers, who at 6-6
are tied with the Giants and two other teams in the NFC wild-card
race.
| | | Patient Weinke could get his shot with Panthers - 12/08/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire Chris Weinke had a chance to leave, get
out of Jake Delhomme's shadow and perhaps battle for a starting
quarterback job.
But he didn't even wait for the start of free agency in the
offseason to re-sign with the Carolina Panthers.
"There are a lot of different things that go into it," Weinke
said. "I'm married, I have a baby and my wife loves Charlotte. We
love the area. We love the organization. The grass isn't always
greener on the other side.
I felt like, knowing this offense and knowing what kind of
football team we had here, I wanted to be a part of it. That's why
I re-signed here before going and listening to any other offers,"
he said.
The 34-year-old Weinke knew he may never play, because Delhomme
hasn't missed a game since he took over as a starter early in the
2003 season. Weinke has played in three games and thrown 13 passes
in four seasons.
But the former Heisman Trophy winner may finally get his chance
on Sunday against the New York Giants. The seemingly indestructible
Delhomme is nursing a sprained right thumb.
"There were a couple of sprinkles here and there at the end of
games but other than that in terms of starting a game and being the
guy, it's been a while," Weinke said.
And it could come at a key time. At 6-6, the Panthers are tied
with three other teams for a wild-card spot -- the visiting Giants
are one of them.
Delhomme missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday
and remains questionable, meaning coach John Fox may be forced to
go with Weinke.
| | | Eagles take to the air, top Panthers 27-24 - 12/05/2006
Source: NFL.com Through tough times in Cleveland and Detroit, Jeff Garcia wondered if he'd ever be a significant contributor in the NFL again.
A three-time Pro Bowl quarterback when he was guiding San Francisco to playoff berths, Garcia found out on Monday Night Football just how important he is to the Philadelphia Eagles -- as important as Donovan McNabb.
Garcia played like vintage McNabb in leading the Eagles past the Carolina Panthers 27-24. And if the 36-year-old veteran guides them into the playoffs -- at 6-6 they are tied for the NFC wild-card spots -- Garcia just might make Philadelphia forget about ol' Donovan, at least for a bit.
"It's been a while since I felt this well about a game, the way we played," Garcia said after throwing for 312 yards and three touchdowns. "We never gave up, scratched and clawed for every inch out there."
Brian Dawkins' 38-yard interception return set up David Akers' decisive 25-yard field goal with 3:13 to go. After Garcia struggled early, he was nearly unstoppable, using his arm and his legs to offset Carolina's dangerous pass rush.
"We have not lost focus of what our goal is -- to be a playoff team," he said. "Nobody has been discouraged, nobody has hung their head, it's a really positive atmosphere in the locker room considering what we've gone through over the last two months. This is a great way to come together; I think we can put some things together."
Garcia, who replaced the injured McNabb (torn right knee ligament) two weeks ago and lost twice, had TD passes of 8 yards to Brian Westbrook, 30 to Donte' Stallworth and 40 to Reggie Brown. When Lito Sheppard picked off a fade pass to Keyshawn Johnson with 25 seconds left, the Eagles were back in the playoff chase, tied with Carolina, Atlanta and the New York Giants.
One of the great benefits of life in the NFC is that a .500 record makes you a contender.
"It's a crazy year," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "Anything's possible."
Garcia has thrown for six TDs and no interceptions since taking over for McNabb.
Jake Delhomme almost matched Garcia until the two late picks. He threw for 269 yards and TDs of 9 yards to Steve Smith, 1 to Johnson and 35 to DeAngelo Williams.
But the late interceptions ruined his night and continued the inconsistency that has marked the Panthers' season. They lost two, won four straight, lost two more, won two and now have dropped two in a row again.
"We're 6-6. We're average right now," Delhomme said.
"It will test our character," Panthers coach John Fox said. "We have four games left and we're fortunate we have four.
"We made some improvement offensively. The turnovers were a key and they made some big plays on defense, particularly that last one."
That was by Sheppard, who has five interceptions in nine games.
| | | Cooley's TD lifts 'Skins in defensive battle - 11/27/2006
Source: NFL.com Seeking his first win as an NFL starting quarterback, Jason Campbell faced a vital third down with his team trailing late in the fourth quarter.
Through his helmet transmitter, he heard coach Joe Gibbs call the formation.
Then silence. The transmitter went dead. Campbell had to call the play himself, based on the players sent onto the field.
"We could tell that there was something wrong," right tackle Jon Jansen said. "But he picked up and just took us out there and we ran the play, and it was big."
The play went for 66 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Chris Cooley caught the pass over the middle near midfield, escaped two tacklers and ran down the sideline for the winning score in the Washington Redskins' 17-13 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
"I didn't hear the play that was called," Campbell said. "I just tried to call one of the plays that we worked on all week that would give us an opportunity to make a first down. Fortunately, God was with me when I made that call, and Cooley did a great job of running after the catch."
The victory broke a two-game losing streak for the Redskins (4-7) and made Campbell a winner in his second start, following Mark Brunell's benching. The Redskins responded well to Gibbs' call to return to his principles of running the ball and stopping the run, but it took the big play to Cooley on a third-and-8 with 4:26 remaining to beat the Panthers (6-5) in a game dominated by defense.
"I felt like today it was kind of our style of football," Gibbs said. "And it was good to get back to that."
For 3½ quarters, the best highlights were two blocked punts and an incredible fourth-quarter catch by Carolina's Steve Smith at the back of the end zone. Ladell Betts, the Redskins featured running back now that Clinton Portis is out for the year, finished with 104 yards on 24 carries. Campbell threw an interception on the previous drive and had only 52 yards passing when he hit Cooley for the make-up touchdown. He finished 11 for 23 for 118 yards with two touchdowns.
"I've never seen him uncomfortable," Gibbs said. "It's an amazing thing about him. He's got that laid-back personality, and from the day he got here. He's never looked like he was feeling pressure or anything." | | | Panthers rally past Buccaneers to wrap up Week 10 in NFL - 11/14/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire The Carolina Panthers were a
much-improved team in the second half Monday. They hope this is
also the motto for their season.
The Panthers rebounded from a horrible first half, scoring all
of their points after intermission en route to a 24-10 victory
over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on "Monday Night Football."
Carolina star Steve Smith had eight catches for 149 yards and a
touchdown. He collected five receptions for 117 yards in the
second half, including a 36-yard TD with 3:11 remaining to cap
the scoring.
Smith also struggled in the first half while playing through a
bout of the flu. Television replays captured the Pro Bowl wide
receiver vomiting into a garbage can on the sidelines.
"Everything was coming up water," Smith said. "After a while, I
was dry-heaving."
Jake Delhomme completed 22-of-34 passes for 240 yards and two
touchdowns with an interception for the Panthers, who pulled
within a game of first-place New Orleans in the NFC South.
Carolina (5-4) was inconsistent and sloppy for much Monday's
contest, the same issues that plagued the team over the first
eight games of the season. But coach John Fox hopes this
victory lays the foundation for what will be a strong playoff
push in the wide-open NFC.
"We've started this second season a lot better than we started
the first one," Fox said. "We're 1-0 as opposed to 0-1. All it
means is one more victory and all of our focus will be on St.
Louis next week."
Keyshawn Johnson had six catches for 37 yards, including a
four-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter that gave the
Panthers their first lead, 10-7. The play allowed the former
Buccaneer to atone for his fumble in the opening half that led
to Tampa Bay's lone touchdown.
"I can't say much about the first half, but if I had my
druthers, I'd rather get it finished and our guys did that," Fox
said. "We had some guys step up and keep swinging their sword,
and we were able to pull it out."
The Bucs (2-7) continued to struggle offensively under rookie
Bruce Gradkowski, who completed 17-of-32 passes for 132 yards
with a touchdown. He threw a pair of interceptions and also
lost a fumble.
However, Gradkowski was under duress all day as Pro Bowl
defensive end Julius Peppers recorded all three of Carolina's
sacks. He also recovered Gradkowski's fumble that led to
Johnson's TD catch.
"(Peppers is) a pretty remarkable player," Fox said. "He's
disrupted a few teams along the way, and we're thankful we have
him." | | | Bengals rally past Panthers 17-14 - 10/22/2006
Source: NFL.com The call came in. The gamble was on. The Bengals were putting the game into the pleading hands of Chad Johnson.
The brash receiver had been begging for the chance.
Johnson turned a risky fourth-and-1 call into a diving 32-yard catch, leading to a touchdown and a 17-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers, who couldn't stop the Pro Bowl receiver on the play that mattered most.
"That was the actual play call," Johnson said, noting that offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski made him the first choice. "Bratkowski -- I love you! Thank you! That was a great call.
"In my mind, I was going to come down with it."
He did, of course. Two plays later, the Bengals (4-2) finished a length-of-the-field drive that gave them a welcomed win. They'd lost their last two games and endured a bye week loaded with questions about their tottering offense and their off-target quarterback.
When they needed him most, Carson Palmer finally connected.
Wearing a glove on his passing hand, Palmer struggled with the gusting, swirling wind until the fourth quarter. He went 8 of 9 for 93 yards in the go-ahead drive, culminating in his 1-yard throw to T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
"In this stadium, the wind is different than most places we play in," said Palmer, who was 23 of 39 overall for 240 yards. "At times, it's nice and calm. Perfect. Then a huge gust comes in. It can catch you off-guard." | | | Cats beat Ravens; Win Fourth Straight - 10/16/2006
Source: NFL.com Jake Delhomme wasn't about to be upstaged by a backup quarterback who hadn't tossed a touchdown pass since Christmas.
Delhomme threw for a career-high 365 yards and two touchdowns, and Carolina slipped past the Baltimore Ravens 23-21 for its fourth straight win.
After Ravens quarterback Steve McNair left with a concussion and sprained neck in the first quarter, Kyle Boller took over. A starter for three years before being displaced by McNair, Boller threw three touchdown passes to provide Baltimore (4-2) with its biggest scoring output since Week 2.
But every time Boller and the Ravens did something right, Delhomme answered. His favorite target was Steve Smith, who had eight catches for 189 yards and a score.
Smith missed the season's first two games with a thigh injury. The Panthers (4-2) haven't lost since his return.
"When Steve came back, certainly it helped. In my opinion, it's like taking Michael Vick away from Atlanta, like taking Peyton (Manning) away from the Colts," Delhomme said. "Other teams got to account for him on every play."
After Mark Clayton took a tipped pass for a 62-yard touchdown to bring the Ravens to 16-14 with 4:33 to go, Delhomme tossed a 72-yard touchdown pass to Smith on the next play from scrimmage.
"I thought I was going to throw to Keyshawn (Johnson)," Delhomme said. "But when I look, all I see is 89 running down the field with his hand up in the air. A lot of guys were giving me grief on the sidelines, saying they were waiting for the ball to come down."
It landed in Smith's arms, and the speedy receiver carried it into the end zone to deflate the record crowd of 70,762.

They still gave Carolina all it could handle -- until Steve Smith got loose late.
Jake Delhomme threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Drew Carter midway through the fourth quarter to put the Panthers ahead to stay as Carolina handed New Orleans its first loss of the season, 21-18.
| | | Smith sparks offense - 09/26/2006
Source: Charlotte Observer Much of the Carolina Panthers' offensive improvement in their 26-24 win at Tampa Bay Sunday must be because of the return of receiver Steve Smith, who missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. Smith caught seven passes for 112 yards and eased the pressure on every other facet of the offense just by being on the field. Fantasy Impact: We finally got to see what the full Panthers offense could do, and I think we were pretty impressed. You can feel confident in starting your Panthers' players now. | | | Last-second FG gives Panthers 26-24 win - 09/24/2006
Source: NFL.com Keyshawn Johnson insisted returning to Tampa Bay for the first time in three years was more about Carolina getting its first victory than him getting personal satisfaction against his former team.
Thanks to Jake Delhomme -- and a big game from the mercurial Johnson -- the loquacious receiver got both Sunday.
Johnson scored two touchdowns and Delhomme led a last-minute drive that produced John Kasay's fourth long field goal of the day with 2 seconds remaining, giving the Panthers a 26-24 victory over the winless Bucs.
Johnson finished with seven receptions for 97 yards. Steve Smith returned after missing Carolina's first two games with a sore hamstring and had seven catches for 112 yards for the Panthers (1-2).
Simms rebounded from a shaky first quarter to get the Bucs (0-3) back in the game. He threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Joey Galloway in the second quarter, then took advantage of three second-half turnovers to put his team into a position to win.
Simeon Rice forced two third-quarter fumbles for Tampa Bay, and Shelton Quarles forced a third to set up Matt Bryant's 28-yard field goal for a 24-23 Bucs lead with five minutes remaining.
Tampa Bay got the ball back with less than three minutes to go, but was unable to get a first down and run out the clock.
Simms, who left the game for two plays in the second half because of cramps, was 13-of-24 for 139 yards. Carnell "Cadillac" Williams rushed for 48 yards on 19 carries and scored on a 4-yard run in the third quarter.
Carolina won for the sixth time in the last seven meetings between the NFC rivals. Delhomme improved to 4-0 at Raymond James Stadium. | | | Vikings edge Panthers 16-13 in OT - 09/17/2006
Source: NFL.com Ryan Longwell caught the pitch, rolled right, let the ball go and connected with Vikings tight end Richard Owens for the game-tying score.
With Longwell's three field goals and a clutch touchdown pass on a fake -- plus a defense that forced nine punts -- the Vikings showed again that they don't need a flashy, high-flying offense to win.
The Panthers, a popular Super Bowl pick, were clearly frustrated. They're struggling in several areas, including staying healthy -- with All-Pro Steve Smith, who totaled 201 yards receiving against Minnesota last season, absent again because of a strained right hamstring.
Peppers did his part with three of his team's five sacks, plus a blocked 51-yard field goal. Keyshawn Johnson had five receptions for 106 yards, but Carolina has only 19 points through two games.
"It's disappointing, but nobody feels sorry for us," quarterback Jake Delhomme said. "You have to go back to work and try to get better." | | | Hartwig to miss today's game - 09/17/2006

Fantasy Impact: While Vick didn't have great passing numbers as usual, he was respectable. The running game was in midseason form, putting up over 250 yards. Norwood got 10 carries while Dunn got 29. The Panthers offense sputtered without top WR Smith, as Delhomme completed barely over 50% and was picked once, while Foster ran for only 54 yards. Much was due to pressure by the Falcons' d-line, which put up four sacks, two by Abraham. Overall, a great game for the Falcons, and a poor one for the Panthers. | | | Sans Smith, Panthers' offense is much less intimidating - 09/08/2006
