Jake Delhomme's Arm Doesn't Fall Off While Taking Snaps in Practice

All you Carolina Panthers fans who seem to think that Jake Delhomme's arm will break like glass any day now will have to keep waiting. Reports out of the team's "optional" offseason workouts indicate that Delhomme is taking snaps in team drills with no pain in his surgically repaired elbow.

So far, everything seems to be progressing well for Delhomme, who should be ready for training camp. At least, that's what some baseball players suggested to him a few months ago.

I saw Ken Griffey Jr. at a function and I introduced myself to him and there were a couple of other guys there and I said, 'Hey, I couldn't be happier (with the surgery).' They all busted out laughing ... and said, 'Tommy John, what a great surgery.' They've seen so many guys who have had so much relief after and hopefully I fall into that category."

That's exactly what John Fox is hoping, too. Jake Delhomme played 11 quarters of football last season and still let the Panthers in touchdown passes for 2007. Imagine if he plays a full season with a decent line blocking for him (for a change).
