Happy Birthday, Jake Delhomme!

For your 34th birthday, Jake, you're getting a backup quarterback job on a new team. Not much of a present, but the demotion is certainly justified. A whopping six turnovers for a team that was favored to win its game by more than 10 points.

Jake added a meaningless touchdown pass to Steve Smith with 50 seconds left with the game out of reach.

Final stats:
C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
J. Delhomme 17/34 205 6.0 1 5
FUM LOST REC
J. Delhomme 1 1 0

So the numbers improved slightly with that last meaningless drive, but that still should be enough to force Carolina to get a new QB in the offseason. I knew Delhomme had a bad performance in him, but I couldn't fathom that he'd crap the bed this much. His previous worst performance this year:

WEEK OPP RESULT CMP ATT YDS CMP% LNG TD INT RAT

Ouch. Not franchise QB numbers at all.
