He's the reason I became a Panthers fan.  I'm a Ragin Cajun alumnus and he is our Brett Farve.  He held every meaningful record in Cajuns history and aside from all of that, was just one of the nicest guys on the planet.  When the Saints screwed him over and refused to give him a chance in favor of the Smiling Interception Machine (the nickname saints fans gave Aaron Brooks), I swore wherever Jake went that offseason would be my new team.  Lo and behold, Jake went to Carolina and so did I.  Anyway, for anyone who's interested, check the Youtube link below (I still have no clue how to post videos on the new forum setup), you'll see Jake at his most Jake at 1:43.  In Lafayette, that is a fairly iconic scene, I know I've seen that picture multiple places.

Let me tell you all a Jake story. My son (probably about five at the time) and I had gone to a hot Spartanburg for training camp and were along the line as the players came off the hill to prepare for the morning practice and I'm watching Jake as he walks along the line getting close to me and my son, who is wearing a #17 jersey and he stops. Jake greats me, says hi to my son and signs an autograph for this junior fan. He bends down and let's me take a photograph with him and my son, says goodbye and walks away.

I then observed a left-handed quarterback glove that my son was holding and admiring. "Where did you get the glove," I ask. My son responded, "Dad, it's Jake's glove, he gave it to me." It was Jake's gift to an admiring fan and his father. My son is now 15 years of age, he still has the Jake Delhomme quarterback glove, and jersey, and is still a Panthers fan. He'll probably even take his son to Spartanburg someday.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
