Dear Jake Delhomme,

Bench yourself. Steve Smith said it about himself, but it's really about you. Say, "I'm not an asset to this team anymore." Take that to heart, old dog. You were decent and at times, a good QB, however time has not been so gracious to you as the likes of Kurt Warner or Jeff Garcia. In conclusion, your time is up. Thank you.

Sincerely,

The "what have you done for me lately" fans who once adored you, and now turn their back on you.

Even the Lone Ranger had to put down Silver eventually. As for the "what have you done for me lately" fans, show me and NFL team that doesn't have those type of fans. Look at the Patriots, that organiztion has a knack for making personnel changes at just the right time. Their roster from year to year changes more than just about any team, yet they are still able to win games. Yeah they have a guy named Brady that wins alot of those games, but sooner or later you have to evaluate talent on your team and adjust your roster accordingly. You have to plan for the future at some point, take Washington and Clinton Portis for example. Just one of many players that could have been moved while he still had market value, now they are stuck with an aged, over-worked RB and no way to get anything for him. Just like Fox has done with Jake, love him or hate him, he's not gonna be around forever, im all for winning now, it just seems Fox is content with what he has now instead of planning ahead.

Dear Hep:

With all due respect, go screw yourself. You guys just dont get it. It is what it is and the other guys get paid to play and the problem is that we havent solved the problem and that is a big problem.

At the end of the season it will all work out. I will be the leagues defensive mvp.

Write back when you understand.

I think you're awesome. I love watching you play and the passion you show on the field. Thank you for everything you've done for this team. The time you have spent as our QB you have made us a relevant team. Your passion and grit has fueled us for many seasons. I'm sad that TJ surgery has effected your career. Even though you are down I will not count you out. You made from the scrubs of the NFL to a starting QB in the NFL that made several playoff appearances and lead the inspiring come back season of 04. So hopefully you can get back in the lineup and play like you once did.

Dear Jake,

Please stick out for all 16 games this year. You are on pace to throw 36 interceptions. You are going to have to step it up if you want to break George Blanda's 1962 record of 42 interceptions. I have no doubt that you can easily break Vinny Testeverde's 1988 record of 35. Geaux Jake!

Dear PantherPosters here,

Get some class.

Blame the people who put Jake in a place to fail.

Not the guy trying to do his best.

Fox is the one to blame.

Kurb

IMO, i dont think fox has a choice or say so in who starts. im sure its richardson and hurney making that call.

although i must say i wish fox would get fired ASAP.

Dear Jake, Ur a class act but its all about what have you done for me lately,,,which is nothing. you enjoyed early success and set the bar high for our expectations. I know you dont like what is happening but being a man is doing things you dont want to do..you havent been the same for a few years now....I think the mind is good but the body wont respond to your commands...thanks for the memories. Maybe you can hang around and lead a winning drive ala Earl Moral sometime..

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
