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..

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
