For all intents and purposes, one strike on a slant pattern paved the way to Jake Delhomme's $4 million jackpot.
The former Ragin' Cajun threw just 10 passes last season - and just 86 total in six clipboard-carrying seasons in New Orleans - but it was his third-down completion fresh off the bench to clinch the Saints' nationally televised victory over Tampa Bay that apparently opened Carolina's eyes.
Six years, four games, three touchdown passes … yep, time to hand over the keys to the Panthers. Then again, if Randy Fasani can get a turn behind center, who says Delhomme isn't fully qualified to become an NFL starter? Hey, it worked OK for Trent Green....
