Why doesn't Jake just come down with a phantom injury?

We all know that the reason Jake is continuing to start and will start again next week is because Fox and Hurney don't want to admit that they were wrong to give him that contract extension in the offseason. So why don't they save face for all parties involved by having Jake come down with some mysterious injury during practice? Maybe they could say he "injured his shoulder" while falling down in the bathroom or something. Things like this happen all the time in the NFL, why haven't they found an excuse to pull this piece of poo? Is it because they're idiotic that they honestly think that Jake is still a good quarterback? Is it because they think they have no chance with Matt Moore? Well guess what...we just had our asses handed to us by a team with RYAN FITZPATRICK at quarterback. You can't tell me that Ryan Fitzpatrick is better than Matt Moore.

So what gives with these assholes?

Until today, Jake is offered the team the best chance of winning, and I even agreed with that. But I think it has become painfully obvious that today Jake was the reason for the loss. I know many are going to grip about the play calling and game planning but I actually liked what I saw. The problem wasn't coaching, playcalling or personel (although Kasay and Moore didn't help matters any). The problem today was Delhomme. He no longer is the best option and thus I think we will see a switch next week. Or, oh God, I really hope so.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll see a change even after his performance today. Fox will throw special teams under the bus and simply say about Jake that "We're a 2-4 team right now. I think we all need to improve. Our record speaks for itself. There are a lot of ways we need to look to improve. We're not where we want to be right now." And then he'll either avoid again if pressed about Jake or he'll just come right out and say yet again that Jake will start.

Hopefully our D will take matters into their own hands during practice and separate this fool's shoulder and knock out our retarded coach as well.

Sounds good to me. I'm going to start rooting for Jake to suffer a minor injury that they can use as an excuse to pull him while saving face. Not an injury that will give him much trouble or one that will need rehab. Just one that they can jump on to bench him.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
