In a story that I will basically begin from here until eternity referring to as the “Carolina Panthers Suicide Watch,” Jake Delhomme has said a bit more about his injured elbow. Delhomme initially said that his elbow injury would not require surgery. Apparently what he meant to say was that it won’t require surgery yet. Delhomme is taking part in what has been termed a “rigorous rehabilitation program” on his throwing elbow, and is hopeful that he avoid surgery and return this season. However, surgery is still a looming possibility, and it becomes clearer with every new story that Delhomme is really just feeling this out and taking things one day at a time with his elbow.
Meanwhile, Carolina fans are gripping hard. After being subjected to book 2 chapter 1 of “David Car Under Center in the NFL,” the faithful fans of the Panthers are on nearly constant prayer vigil for a miracle to occur in Jake Delhomme’s throwing elbow. Season ending surgery for Delhomme means that the Panthers will be sidled with a quarterback who can’t find Steve Smith deep, can’t check down fast enough to his other receivers, gets sacked a lot, and will allow defenses to stack the box and kill your running game. Congratulations, Carolina. Thanks for playing. I mean, there’s still a very slim possibility that Carr will wake up one day this week and actually be a good NFL quarterback, but so far, that day has yet to come. Here’s hoping Delhomme’s rehab goes extremely well.
