Delhomme leading Panthers deep into playoffs The Carolina quarterback is not always the most calm and collected on the field, but he gets the job done By Dan O'Neill St. Louis Post-Dispatch (KRT) CHARLOTTE, N.C. — At crunch time, when the field is long, the clock is short and the odds are foreboding, "collected" and "composed" are the traits one looks for in a quarterback. He is the one excitable teammates can turn to for equanimity. At least, that's what common sense says. But there is nothing common about Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme, and precious little makes sense. Delhomme comes to the huddle the way a kid comes down the stairs on Christmas morn ing. When the going gets tough, he gets wired. "It's like he's a little league or high school kid out there," said Panthers center Jeff Mitchell. "I mean, look at him. He's about a buck-fifty (150 pounds) and you look him in the face and you'd swear he's about 12 years old. I mean, it's like we have to calm him down." Yet, Delhomme is to late-game heroics what David Letterman is to late-show antics. The Panthers have won seven times on their final posses sion this season and six when trailing at halftime. The previously undistin guished Delhomme has completed 22 of 29 passes during drives in which Carolina has scored the decisive points inside the final two minutes of regulation or overtime. From an emotional standpoint, he might be Jake the Quake more than Jake the Snake, but Delhomme gets it done. "He's so fired up and crazy, there's no mistaking when he's in there," Mitchell added. "What it is, is positive energy. It's enthusiasm. It's unbridled, which is good. He's been working so hard for this, for so long." Some teammates have taken to com paring their bayou-bom quarterback, who celebrates his 29th birthday Satur day, to another Louisiana native with an anxious nature —"The Waterboy." "He's like Bobby Boucher out there, you know," receiver Muhsin Muham mad said. "He's just going to be a fire plug. He's going to show a lot of en thusiasm, a lot of excitement. He wears his emotion on his sleeve. When he comes off the sideline, you can tell when he had a bad play and you can tell when he's had a good play—he's going to be tackling you in the end zone." Fans in St. Louis, familiar with the groceries-to-greatness story of Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, can relate to Delhomme. Coincidentally, the two were teammates in NFL Europe in 1998, living together at the Galaxy Hotel in Amsterdam, struggling to make their football ends meet. Del homme was Warner's backup, push ing 24 years of age at the time, and wondering if he was traveling down a dead end path. "I'll be honest with you," Delhomme said, "there was a time when I was say ing to myself, 'OK now, let's be real. If you're not going to start here, how are you going to make it in the NFL?' Of course, little did I know I was backing up a two-time MVP, but it was one of those things where you really start to question yourself, you really do." (c) 2004, St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
