Jake Delhomme on the Mac Attack - Panthers have more than enough weapons for Cam

[Mr. Scot]

Cam has done an excellent job with learning how to be a leader and progressing more and more each year though. And I agree with you on smitty too. He will always be me favorite player, but maybe his departure is exactly what cam needed. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense, the offensive leaders of this team were gross, smitty, and cam to a lesser degree. Gross retired so it's perfectly logical to let smitty go and give cam complete control.

 

I have no argument with it.

 

It absolutely should be Cam's team now.

Jake is awesome.

[catnip]

If only Jake had the size and skill set Cam has.  Ohhhhhhhh    Myyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You could argue not having that skill set is what made Jake who he was.

 

All hypothetical, I guess :unsure:

Jake's is the only jersey I ever bought (if you don't count the one with my name on the back.  Yes, I was that guy.)

 

Did anyone know that the year Jake was cut he was one of if not the highest paid player in the NFL for that year.  We had to pay off his contract at about 16 million and then he took the Browns to the cleaners for 7 million.  So, he had a round a 1 year, 23 million dollar contract.  Not bad for the twilight of his career.

Yea I agree with you. Time to take control. it's gotta be nice to have your #1 receiver looking up to you instead of being your adversary

[Jeremy Igo]

People that have been around long enough know I was a critic of Jake's play. One thing I never questioned was his professionalism. Every day at camp, Jake was one of the first to the field, leading the guys to the next round of drills, no matter what. He never took for granted that he was a starting QB on a NFL team, mainly because he knew what it was like to fail. In some ways I think that really benefits a player later in his career.

[AceBoogie]

Says the guy who played with 89 in his prime, 87, and 81. Not to mention the real double trouble

[Mr. Scot]

Figuratively :lol:

 

If we were being literal it'd be Smith, not Benjamin, "looking up" at Newton.

 

[jfo89]

Lol, good point.

[CelibatePimp]

I have always insisted that Cam has enough to succeed. Not a lot of weapons but enough talent to win and this was talking about last season. I think we may even have better "weapons" this season. Talent is there and Jake is right, no excuses.

[footballisasport]

Well it came straight from the horse's mouth. 

 

Cam has enough weapons people.

U can never have enough weapons as a QB

[fieryprophet]

There's different types of leadership. Cam strikes me as more of a lead by example kind rather than a lead by force of personality type. Same with Luke.
