I still believe in Jake...

Despite everything we've seen in the last two games, I've decided to continue to believe in Jake. Two bad games doesn't erase all the good things he's done over the years. Jake's a veteran and we know how much upside he has, so there's no reason to think he can't turn this thing around.

This team has enough talent to help compensate for Jake while he gets out of this funk. Remember the McNabb benching last year? McNabb wasn't taking care of the football, and got benched for it. It was a wakeup call for him and he came back as good as ever.

I'd imagine Jake will go into the game this week with the mindset that he will take care of the ball. This team is good enough that we really just need someone to manage the game under center. I'd hope the Panthers are designing a game plan this week to take some of the pressure off Jake and instead rely on the running game and the defense.

Anyhow, sorry for this rambling post but I think it's easy to lose perspective and assume all is lost after two bad games in a row. Anyone remember how bad the Giants looked in the beginning of the season when they ended up winning the SB?

Hang in there Panther nation...

I like Jake. He plays the game the way it should be played and will go down as one of my favorite Panthers of alltime. However, NFL seasons are short and it really doesn't matter how nice he is, what kind of leader he is, or how much coaches and teammates like him when he doesn't get it done on the field.

I feel like he has until the bye to prove to us that these last two games were a fluke. Even if we lose he needs to play much better or people will be gathering up their pitchforks and torches and heading to his house. I feel like he will play better and be more careful with his passes (which could be bad) and I don't think he will be spectacular this sunday but I do feel he will be efficient.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By frankw · Posted

      I think the Bevell hire has more to do with adding actual veteran head coaching experience to the staff than anything else. But I do wholeheartedly agree that the obsession in general with Seattle needs to come to an end. I mean we plucked the one guy there to be our GM who turned out to be our worst GM in franchise history in just a few short years and that's really saying something given our history there. Clearly trying to mimick Seattle in any way has not been productive. As far as Idzik many of us have asked the same question but at this point in time it doesn't really matter anymore because Canales is either going to lead this franchise to a winning record or he will be shown the door.

      That’s why Bevell is a good move. Idzik might not be chopped liver, he is just inexperienced and even less ready to be the play caller than Canales. I still say the playbook is limited which is a hinderance to calling plays, I would imagine.    Anyway Beavis lol… no Bevell, got to consecutive SBs as an OC and won one with 48 points or something. Should have won the second one. And had several more good years there.    They were the team we had to learn how to beat it took us til the third year I think before we could go into Seattle and successfully compete.   That is glass half full thinking, yep, but that is head and shoulders over what we have had here for a while. Certainly now.     In addition.. It was Canales’ boss. He knew more then , I would bet he knows more now. I can’t look at this as anything but a potential positive thing.  Hell he might be the guy that can look at Dave and say what the fug are you doing? And Dave will listen. I think I can hope for that.  Maybe not.
