Well i had a good run...I had this name since joining this forum in 2003. Through the SB run, NFC CHampionship run, a few mediocre seasons. Jake has been good too us, and let us not forget that in his decline and future departure from our team.

Now how do I change my name? Do I really need to create a new account?

Don't change it. Yes, Jake is horrible right now but that doesn't change what he accomplished in past seasons. You would never know it by the way I spoke to him through my TV screen yesturday but I still respect Delhomme and really hope that fans will remember him not based on 2009 but on his entire body of work.

Same thing with Fox. Delhomme will not be the last pro bowl player to decline while playing in Carolina and Fox will not the only great coach to get fired. Keep the name, wear it with pride and curse Jake's name in every post until the end of the season.

Well, there's a few ways to handle this.

You can wait until we clinch a top 3 pick in the draft. In a hail of nerd-scorned fury over the fact that the 49ers get our pick, the server will undoubtedly crash and you can start over fresh with a new name.

You could use your description under your name to indicate that your opinions have changed, and state who IS CURRENTLY "the man."

Personally, I'd just nut up and live with it. It's a throwback to the days when the Panthers were a contender and Delhomme was "the man." It's an antique, it memorabilia, it's a nostalgia piece. Just like I won't throw away my Delhomme jersey. He may not be "the man" on the field anymore, but he is still the man. He got us to a Super Bowl and an NFC championship. He still has a top 10 win percentage. He should never take another snap in his life, but during his hey-day he was the best thing to happen to this franchise in a long time. Just because he has struggled mightily and is killing us presently, don't just go out and destroy any proof that he ever existed and was special to us. You can't revise history.

Don't be an iconoclast. Keep the name.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
