A Surprising Start for the 2009 Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers haven't started out their 09' season as well as they hoped for undoubtedly. Nothing has gone according to plan, Jake Delhomme isn't productive, the wide receivers haven't impressed much, the defense isn't what it was before, and the whole team is in the dumps.
As strong as the NFC South is now with the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, they better start making things happen before they are looking at a 6-10 season.
The Panthers second half of the season schedule is brutal - at New England Patriots, at New York Giants, at New York Jets, and at New Orleans Saints.
Hopes were equally high for the team entering the 2009 season. Nearly everyone was back from the year before, and things looked to pick up exactly where they left off in 2008.
Can the Panthers turn their season around? Yes they can because they do have the talent to do so. The Panthers need to create more turnovers on defense and give Jake Delhomme more chances to use WR Steve Smith, as of now, Steve Smith isn't even on the radar as one of the best wide receivers in the league. It was just a couple years ago when Steve Smith was a MVP candidate.
In week 1, the Carolina Panthers were embarrassed by the Eagles on their own field. They lost this game by a score of 38-10. Their defense was pitiful, and Jake Delhomme looked just as dreadful at the quarterback position.
WR Steve Smith is one of the best play-makers in the NFL but has been forgotten and seemingly an after thought. They don't have many other go to targets, so Steve must step up and mesh with Delhomme as quick as possible.
Jake Delhomme can not keep throwing interceptions and putting his team in a hole if they hope to win football games.
