In the Carolinas, No. 17 has become synonymous with Jake Delhomme.
His jerseys are everywhere, a reflection of the impact he's had on the Panthers fans everywhere.
But if it hadn’t been for Randy Fasani, Delhomme never would have picked No. 17 when he signed with the Panthers in 2003. Instead, he would have selected No. 12, which he wore in college at Louisiana-Lafayette and in New Orleans.
However, that number belonged to Fasani at the time.
Obviously if the Panthers knew now what they know about the two quarterbacks they would have ripped that jersey off Fasani in a second and given it to Delhomme.
