Jake communicating with Cam?

Is there a Cajun to English dictionary?

They're both gunslinger quarterbacks who put it all out on the field. Something tells me Cam would get the gist of what he's saying, somehow.

Jake get way too much hate on this board because of the Cardinals game. He was a great Panther and an even better person. He will always be a Panthers legend in my book.

anyone who was at that Jacksonville game in 2003 gets it.

For managing a game, he was the greatest.  Threw good, but not fantastic.  We now have an all around QB. 

You REALLY do not understand what a "game manager" QB is.  Jake was NOT a game manager.....he was a gun slinger type of QB. 

[Khyber53]

Let's face it, Jake was great. Good gunslinger, never gave up, could push a team or player to be better than they were, could rise to the occasion when the chips were down. He had his share of screw ups, but sometimes that guy could just call down a miracle.

And he was just a great guy and a great teammate. Had leadership skills well beyond his playing skills and he really did give everything he had to the game, never giving up.

But as someone said, that moment he grabbed his elbow was the beginning of the end. 

Let's try to remember those great games and forget about the bad ones at the end. He was a hero in his day, don't throw mud at him because he became mortal, like us, again.

Or the San Diego game in San Diego when he throw a TD to 'Rosario Dawson'....aka Dante Rosario.  Or the Rams playoff game X-Clown to Smitty......when 'good Jake' was in the game, I felt the Panthers always had a chance to win. He was fun to watch.

I don't disagree on the gun slinger, because he would do that very thing.  I just don't think he was a fantastic qb, but managed games and kept us in them.  We may have a disagreement on what 'managing a game from the qb point of view is'.  I respect that.

Worse than that.  Cajun to Georgian.  Jake probably does understand the collared greens reference though.  :)

one of my favorite jake stories was him talking trash to brian urlacher as the offense was kneeling out the divisional playoff game after the 2005 season

it was something i was thinking about when urlacher went to the media talking about how much he hated cam's touchdown celebrations back in january.  some of the guys on offense were cutting up and celebrating after kneeling it down in that game and brian urlacher yelled at them to act like they've been there before.  jake yelled back that they had been there and urlacher hasn't.  then he told him to bear down on his dick.  fun stuff.

The quote in that first line is not something you'll hear said very often, but it makes a lot more sense once you understand he's talking about Delhomme.

All indications are that he has no interest in coaching, but I've long thought Jake might make a pretty good QB coach if he were so inclined.

I love Jake.

Hadn't heard that one. Pretty funny.

Also remember Jake getting up swearing and pounding his chest after the cheap shot he took from Lance Briggs a few years later. Turned that game around.
