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.

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
