What is the deal with everyone trashing Jake? And by everyone I mean writers who know very little about our QB's fire and passion. It absolutely amazes me that everytime I read an article about todays game they talk about Philly for 3/4's of the story and then end it quick by saying how bad Jake was in the Arizona game. Some even went as far as to say he "scares them".

I just want to point out that even though Jake had a bad game he isn't the kind of person to dwell on things like that and I think he will be fine this year and silence all the critics. I really hope he does it today but I think we could see a big running game and Jake with about 225 yards or less. On a final note Tony Romo commits turnovers all the time and has really bad games but he is still considered one of the better QB's in the league? I know its the Cowboys but come on.

I guess it goes to show you that some of these guys have no clue what they are talking about and because they haven't played a game yet all they can reference is the last one. I hope Jake gives them something good to talk about today!!!

I think a lot of writers and sports analysts are actually split on Jake. Some say he's a good quarterback and some say he isn't. Jake has always been a good quarterback for most games of a season, but he always has at least 4 games where you just wonder how he is a starter. I think the case is the same with Romo. A lot of sports writers don't think Romo is anything special, but others think he's great.

Well jake really isnt that good. To me he is gonna have to get us very far in to the Playoffs in order to erase the nightmare againest Arizona! I really wish we could've seen Matt Moore with the starters in the Preseason. I really like the guy. He could be our future(made mid season is our future) Quarter back......

If this season goes bad then Jake and all of the coaching staff needs to go. And please draft a quarterback if we end up witha top 15 pick!

jake delhomme is not a paper quarterback. he doesn't sell tickets.

but he stokes fires in his teammates' guts when the game is on and that is EXACTLY what a good leader does. that's what we need, not a jay cutler.

well we dont need a guy to sell tix and we dont need a guy to fire up teammates(they already should be fired up for a game!)....we need a guy to win games, and I dont know if Jake can do that!

But hey, i hope I'm wrong!

I live near Tampa. I'm familiar with terrible QBs. Luke McCown, Bruce Gradkowski, Tim Rattay, Chris Simms (post surgery), etc. are all examples of bad QBs. Think John Kitna, not Jake Delhomme.

Panthers fans get so worked up about having a QB who has lead his team to the superbowl once and playoffs multiple times, but might have a bad game here and there. He's not a perfect QB but he's our guy and we're lucky to have him considering some of the alternatives.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
