Flacco looks good.

Just think we passed him up in the draft last year. I hear from you guys that they is no quarterbacks out there to replace Jake. There went 1. Oh yeah we passed on Quinn in a previous draft too. I could prolly sit and think of other qb's we passed on. If great receivers makes quarterbacks look medicore. Just think what our great receivers would do with a medicore quarterback that will protect the ball. I feel as if John Fox has same issues like Lovie Smith a few years ago. We are 10 and 4 and Jake is our quarterback crap. I love carolina but Jake isnt our answer.

Yet we passed him for the Panthers starting RT and RB who helped produce the best Running Back tandem (or one of them) in the NFL.

And our running back tandem was what in the playoffs? Not crap. We had to drop the run and go to the air when we got tied up in the first quarter.

And you label our Running Back tandem on a game that was poorly coached? If the Panthers had stayed with the run and not freaked out and started throwing, it could be a very different vibe around here.

If a bullfrog had wings, he wouldnt bump his a$$. If we had a quarterback we may have made it further in the playoffs.

I'm not downing our runningbacks. I think Williams is as exciting to watch as Petterson. My most memorable moment of our rookie Stewart last year was when he ran out of gas in the open field just short of the goal line.

it was a cramp, didn't run out of gas, if your talking bout the GB game of course. i just think people bash Jake too much, and your labeling him on one game, which turned out to be one really bad game.

I am speaking about one game? Jake has had 71 interceptions in 6 years with the panthers and only playing 3 games 2 years ago. I am talking about his career as a panther. Bash him? Yeah i WILL because he WILL NEVER get us a superbowl win. If anything he will only cost us. Oh yeah, He already did and will continue to do so!

List of quarterbacks that we could have had over Delhomme if we had ever looked to go in another direction:

Trent Edwards

Chad Pennington

Matt Cassel

Brett Favre

Michael Vick

Joe Flacco

Brady Quinn

Matt Schaub

Jay Cutler

Jason Campbell

Aaron Rodgers

Drew Brees

Kurt Warner

All of these quarterbacks are either better or about as good as Jake is only much younger that teams have either signed, drafted, or traded for since Jake Delhomme became our starting quarterback.

What if we didn't even make the playoffs? You don't know , we don't know.

With Jake as our quarterback and as interception prong as he has been over his career. It wouldnt have surprised me if we had not made the playoffs. I blame him for 3 of our 4 losses in the regular season.

    • Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.
    • They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
