The Facts:
Don't expect Saturday night's miserable performance to cost Delhomme his starting job next season. HC John Fox said despite Delhomme's six turnovers in Carolina's 33-13 NFC Divisional Playoff loss to Arizona, he still views him as the team's starting quarterback heading into the 2009 season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Fox said “I can promise you” Delhomme's performance wouldn't change his commitment to Delhomme in the future. Fox believes Delhomme simply had a bad day. ... Still, Delhomme carries a team-high $11 million salary-cap figure for next season. According to NFL Network insider Adam Schefter, if the Panthers release Delhomme, they would save a whopping $6.325 million against next season’s salary cap — perhaps enough to pursue another quarterback such as Cleveland’s Derek Anderson or even Michael Vick. It'll be interesting to see if Fox makes good on his word.
