...just got this week's SI and they have a big article on Carolina and their hunger to get back to the big dance. (BTW, I think they are Philly's biggest competition. They had a lot of tough luck last year.)
Anyway, in the article they are talking with Delhomme and he acknowledged he formed a very good bond with Parcells during his FA courting time, based on their mutual love of thoroughbred racing. But he said, that as a career 3rd stringer, and not knowing if he would ever sign another contract, $$ played the biggest part in his decision that ultimately led him to sign with Carolina.
According to the article Carolina offered him 2 years, $4 million and Dallas offered him 2 years, $3.2 million.
I know there are mixed opinions on Delhomme, but I think the guy has something to him. We talk a lot about whether Romo has "moxie", but Delhomme is a guy that I do think has genuine "moxie".
He can be a little erratic at times, but from the first time I watched him tear us up in that Christmas Eve game against New Orleans, he's intrigued me.
Say what you will about him, he's much better than anything we've had on the roster in a long time and his performance in the 2nd half of the Super Bowl against the Pats and the all-mighty Belichik defense was pretty special.
I just think about all the $$ we've thrown away on players over the years, then it comes to the most important position on the field and we decide to pinch pennies.
