Perhaps no coach-quarterback tandem in the NFL has a future more closely tied together than Carolina's John Fox and Jake Delhomme.
Delhomme went down in Week 3 last season to eventual season-ending elbow surgery, and the Panthers went down with him, to the tune of missing the playoffs for a second straight season.
Without Delhomme, who is 37-26 as Carolina's starter since 2003, the Panthers were forced to trot out 23-year-old undrafted rookie Matt Moore, former No. 1 overall bust David Carr and 21-year veteran Vinny Testaverde. No wonder the offense was ranked No. 29 in the NFL.
Thus Fox said fixing the quarterback position was his top priority after the season. But the good news is that Delhomme has recovered quickly from Tommy John surgery. He has been throwing since April and is on track to be nearly 100% when training camp starts next month.
In fact, he says his rebuilt arm might be in better shape now than in several years. He got all the work with the first team in minicamp.
"The ligament is great," he said.
Fox agreed, to a cautious point: "His arm is strong; it's as strong as ever. He's rehabbed it well, and I think he'll be as good as new when we start camp.
"(But) we'll be cautious," Fox said. "We don't want to go through what we did last season, so we'll be cautious. Again, it's in medical people's hands. They understand it a lot better than us coaches. They'll give us the go-ahead, and we'll do things as they tell us he's capable of doing them."
Carolina will need a healthy Delhomme, because team owner Jerry Richardson, without actually saying it, has made it known that an overhaul will be coming if the Panthers miss out on the playoffs again. And the
team didn't bring in any veteran QBs to back up Delhomme, meaning Moore will be the likely No. 2.
Carolina did, however, bolster the receiving corps by bringing back Muhsin Muhammad and signing free agent D.J. Hackett away from the Seahawks.
"We needed more than just Steve (Smith)," Delhomme said. "We got some more weapons."

It?s been an interesting few days for Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks. In the span of only a few hours last Friday, quarterbacks Curtis Pulley and Will Fidler's brushes with the law made Brooks? decision on a starter more difficult.
Fidler was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, while that same day Brooks learned that Pulley had been arrested twice in the previous six weeks (one for multiple traffic violations, once for marijuana possession). Brooks isn?t yet saying how these arrests will affect those two players, although they obviously face disciplinary action.
Now you can expect sophomore Mike Hartline to line up under center as the man set to Andre Woodson for the Wildcats to open the season. Hartline played in four games last season as Woodson's backup.
Pulley, a junior, is the Cats' most experienced quarterback, having split time between QB and receiver in 22 career games. He has completed 39 of 64 passes for 280 yards with three interceptions. Fidler, a sophomore, played in one game last season before undergoing shoulder surgery.
Pulley was Kentucky's 2004 Mr. Football after throwing for 62 touchdowns and running for 54 more as one of the state?s top recruits in years. In 2006, he almost overtook Woodson for the starting job but later got into some academic troubles and left school in spring of 2007. He took a redshirt year after retuning last fall. Despite that, he was considered even with Hartline heading into this fall?s practice.
Pulley performed well during spring drills and was a star during the Blue-White game, finishing 12-of-26 on passing for 134 yards with a touchdown and an interception and adding 82 yards on the ground, including the game-winning 17-yard touchdown in the final minutes.
Hartline was 14-of-23 passing for 100 yards and one touchdown. He also had 10 rushing yards on four attempts in the spring game.
Brooks was quick to praise both Hartline and Pulley before learning of the arrests, saying they would alternate snaps with the first team and that he would wait as long as necessary before picking a starter.
?They finished in a virtual tie,? Brooks said after the spring. "What they do well is going to determine who is going to start, but also the one that has less negative plays is probably making a major step forward."
Brooks didn't rule out using Fidler, who also impressed during the spring.
The Wildcats begin practice on Aug. 5 and open the season Aug. 31 at Louisville.

When San Francisco 49ers camp opened not even two weeks ago, J.T. O?Sullivan was the odd-man out in the battle for the starting job, apparently leaving Alex Smith and Shaun Hill as the only two participants.
That made sense, as O?Sullivan was partly only signed by the club because he had worked with new offensive coordinator Mike Martz in Detroit last season. And during the first five days of camp, Hill and Smith alternated between the first and second units; O'Sullivan didn't take a single 11-on-11 snap.
As is usually the case, an injury changed things. Hill has been resting his sore shoulder, which gave O?Sullivan the reps he needed to impress the coaching staff. And he has done just that.
"As I said in the spring and I'll continue to say it, it is a battle between three guys," Nolan said. "Again, J.T. O'Sullivan still has less reps, but he had an opportunity to get some, so he got them. But this quarterback position is open. They're competing for it, as I said all along."
O'Sullivan, who also played in NFL Europe, is in his seventh professional season with his eighth NFL organization. He threw the first regular-season passes of his career last year with the Lions.
"I had no expectations about when my reps would come," O'Sullivan said. "I'm strictly about me being ready. If they would have said the first day to jump in there, I would have been ready. If they say a month from now, I'm going to be ready. It's about me doing my job as well as I can. It doesn't change if I'm in the first group or the fifth group."
O?Sullivan?s familiarity with Martz is definitely playing a factor, as Smith and Hill both have struggled thus far to pick up Martz?s offense. O?Sullivan has looked the best of the three.
"You can tell he's been in the offense before," wide receiver Arnaz Battle said. "He knows what's going on. He does a good job of anticipating routes and where guys are going to be."
Nolan did not object to a characterization that placed O'Sullivan as the starter if the season started today. But, in typical coachspeak, he didn?t say O?Sullivan would be the starter today, either.
?As we're all anxious to get to one, I am, and then again, I'm not. ... I want to know if we do have to get to another, if we get to a second quarterback, or a third, something like that. This is not just trying to find out who's one, this is also trying to find out who gives us a chance, our very best chance to win."
San Francisco?s 2008 odds on WagerWeb.com: Over/under 6.5 wins, +650 to win NFC West, +2500 to win the NFC, +5000 to win Super Bowl XLIII.
