He was a good-to-great QB from 2003 to 2007, leading the Panthers to the SB in 2003 (where he threw for 323 yards and 3 TDs, no interceptions, and a 113.6 passer). He played in the a tough division and kept the Panthers competitive year in and year out. He just got old.
John Fox never won a Lombardi trophy because (1) injuries decimated the Panthers yearly (they had the worst traiing staff in the NFL), (2) they drafted terribly, and (3) they refused to hold on to their top FAs.
Not because of Jake Delhomme.
I agree. I think Jake D. had some solid years and then simply dried up. Saying that he was “chased out” of town by Carolina is a little extreme, as a previous poster suggested. Kurt Warner was “chased out” of St. Louis and New York before he finally landed in Arizona and almost won another Super Bowl. Just because of his falling out in St Louis and NY, I don’t think anyone here would claim Warner was a bad QB. Bottom line: Just because Jake D. got old and lost his touch doesn’t make him a historically bad quarterback.

Thats why they have QB coaches because a lot of HC’s dont know how to develop a quarterbackQuite an assumption considering you have never worked in an NFL front office or alongside the coaches you are mentioning. If Fox has QB coaches to help him develop quarterbacks because of his own inadequacy in doing so, then why does the defensive-minded HC have DB and DL coaches? He knows a lot about defense, but according to your theory….he doesn’t need them?
There is more to the development of QBs than what you are suggesting.
