This weekend the Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in an amazing show of run offense by the Panthers. Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart came together as an unstoppable run offense combo. Deangelo Williams broke away for big runs all day and Jonathan Stewart pounded into the in zone. It's becoming apparent that every NFL team is going to have to start having two NFL starter quality running back's to be effective in the NFL anymore.

Steve Smith was active in the game, he caught a touchdown pass. His explosiveness kept the Cardinals on their heels all day. The past few weeks Steve Smith was saying that he didn't feel like an asset to the Carolina Panthers anymore. He is one of the biggest reasons that the Carolina Panthers have such an effective run game. He is so fast and so great at the wide receiver position that it takes a safety and a corner back to cover him and in some situations it takes a outside linebacker.

If the Panthers can get their confidence back up the Panthers will have a good season and maybe even make a run at a wild-card spot in the playoffs. What everyone wants to know is, who is going to be the quarterback for the Carolina Panthers next year? I don't believe anybody believes it will be Jake. Jake Delhomme is too inconsistent and throws too many interceptions. During the off-season if John Fox has the opportunity to sign a better quarterback he should take it. If you look at the past two years the Carolina Panthers had the opportunity to sign Brett Favre, Michael Vick and how many other rookie all-star quarterback's? Yet the Panthers are still sticking with Jake Delhomme.

What was going on with John Kasay the Kicker for the Panthers this weekend? He missed two 40 something yard field goals. John Kasay usually is effective even past the 50 yard line. Maybe it was just an off week for the field goal kicker. John Kasay is the last original Carolina Panther and he is one of the best kickers in the NFL.

The Panthers have ALMOST all of the tools they need to be a dominate team in the National Football League. With so many tools on offensive and defense it is time to evaluate the quarterback position for the Carolina Panthers.

It's time for the Panthers to fill in the missing piece.
