My only question is, what percentage of what he says are we going to be able to understand? When Jake gets excited he starts speaking really fast in a Cajun accent that is nearly impossible for a layman to decipher. I await his first game with great anticipation.

I KNOW!   entertaining radio is entertaining radio. 

Plus, it's Jake. We'll figure it out

I get all my broadcasts in Spanish. Or whomever fox sticks in the booth. I wish I could listen to Jake this season. There's a way to listen online, right?

The NFL has weird rules about the radio broadcasts and online streaming. Some stations have contracts that allow them to stream whatever/wherever. Other stations have contracts that only allow streaming of the game within a specific geographic area.  Some only allow streaming from the desktop and not over mobile devices. 

Example: I've had success streaming WBT through the Panthers app, but not through the WBT app/site. And sometimes the other way where the Panthers app won't stream but the WBT app will.

I understand why picking up the video stream could be wonky (Verizon has had a lock on the NFL mobile video), but I don't see the harm in letting the radio broadcasts roam free.... especially as streaming will never be real-time (it's going to be anywhere from 30-60+ seconds behind live, which makes listening to the stream while watching the game at the bar a bit annoying)

I love the idea. I've really, truly missed Jake's sincere ebullience for about a decade now. Totally agree him and Smitty in the booth for 1 game would be must-see TV.

That said, my all-time, dream scenario for a Panthers color commentator, or even network analyst would be Ryan Kalil. That man has so much god-damned charisma and charm, and with the football knowledge to back it up, he was made to be a TV personality.

      No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"

      You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
