Quarterback Rank: #18
Overall: #86
Delhomme had an up and down season, finishing with a thud in the playoffs. He was awful in the Panthers lone playoff game, throwing five interceptions ? not a good way to head into the offseason. Delhomme had eight games with fewer than 200-passing yards and one of those games was a 72-yard performance. The positive is Delhomme had five two-touchdown performances. He seems recovered from his elbow surgery, throwing the ball with his usual zip. Delhomme is a bit of a gunslinger, forcing throws on occasion. He has at least 12 interceptions in four of his last five full seasons. But he also averaged 21 touchdowns during that stretch. Delhomme has a strong arm and is fairly accurate, but will turn the ball over.

Delhomme will drive fantasy owners crazy. He'll have just an awful game every once in a while, but is also capable of posting solid fantasy numbers in a starting role. His erratic play makes him more of a No. 2 at this stage of his career, though. Delhomme is usually good for 3,200 yards and 17 touchdowns with 14 interceptions ? not spectacular but serviceable. |

| The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren said QB Jake Delhomme provides the veteran leadership he is looking for in a quarterback. 'My own belief is this team needs an aging veteran,' Holmgren said. 'They need a guy that is going to grab everybody by the throat and say, 'Follow me through that door.' I don't look at him as an aging veteran, I look at him as the leader I wanted.' |
| Fantasy Impact: He might provide the leadership, but his ability is the bigger question mark. |
