Great point about the comparison with Delhomme. Delhomme is by no means a great QB, but he is far above serviceable and almost a very good QB.
Look at the similarities between the skins and the panthers offense:
1. Both run to set up the pass
2. Both have one stellar receiver (Moss/Smith): Slight advantage to Carolina.
3. Both have a good running game (Foster/Portis) Advantage Skins.
4. Both have decent offensive lines
So why are the panthers able to score so easily in the playoffs while we $hit the bed? Sure Steve Smith is an incredible receiver, but the answer has got to be superior QB play by Delhomme.
