Carolina Panthers' starting quarterback Jake Delhomme could be finally heading to the bench.
After head coach Jon Fox was non-committal toward Delhomme on Monday, the thought of a new quarterback behind center in Carolina has finally become an idea with some life.
Despite being 2-4, Fox was adamant about sticking with Delhomme as his starting quarterback earlier in the season. And especially after a two-game win streak, he was beginning to look like he made the right decision.
However, another three-interception game and another loss added to a tumultuous season that has seen Delhomme play horrifically in the season opener and be off target on countless occasions with his receivers.
Delhomme's lack of elite arm strength and poor decision-making, have resulted in Steve Smith trade rumors, opposing defenses being able to clog the running lanes, and an entire fan base calling for the quarterback's head.
Fox's only options appear to be Matt Moore and the well-traveled A.J. Feely, although neither jump out as sure-fire upgrades.
Regardless of your opinion on Delhomme, Fox, or the Panthers as a whole, something is clearly not right, and a change should be in the works.
Delhomme is on pace for a disgusting 35 interceptions on the season, a number Fox cannot allow his team to even get remotely close to if he wants to keep his job.
