They’re the only two good QBs we’ve had. Who else are we supposed to compare?

Very different guys who got similar results. It’s an interesting topic. It’s not racist to discuss it.

Steve Beuerlein had one of the best single seasons of any Panthers QB, but it didn't carry over.

I'm not accusing anyone of racism. 

Cam Newton is/was a much better quarterback and football player than Jake Delhomme ever was. It's not even close. 

Jake Delhomme was at Carolina when they had a ridiculously talented team that only needed a QB to get over the hump. Cam has been at Carolina when they had a ridiculously untalented team (at least offensively) carried by the QB. 

Cam in his prime with what Jake had in his prime would have been something to see - epic even!

The 2003 Panthers were not a “dominant” team. They were a clutch team that came through with clutch FG’s and superb QB/WR play in crunch-time. 

Now, they were fairly dominant in the playoffs. They even beat down New England’s vaunted defense. 

It’s why that season will never be replicated again.

The 2005 Panthers was a more dominant machine. The running game was a little more inconsistent, but Jake and Smith has an amazing year together. Defense ranked 3rd despite losing Jenkins week one (hello, Jordan Carstens). Ken Lucas played some of the best football at corner I have ever seen. He was a fearless tackler.

Fixed it.

Nope. I got it right the first time. You just have a case of revisionist history. That's all.

I remember hating Jake until the 4th quarter most games even before Tommy Jon crept into the equation. 

He was mostly great at chucking the ball into crowds for SS to bail him out. And he had a knack for making plays in the 4th quarter. Which made you forget his play the previous 3 quarters was the reason the Panthers needed a big play in the 4th anyway.

Most of Cam's career, I recall him dominating teams only to have a coach that let their opponent creep back into the game. And then would ask Cam to bail him out, even though he'd already scored over 30 points.

The fact people are comparing Jake and Cam is a deeper tell. Good old boy bullsh*t is alive and well in this fanbase.

I don't know if you were here in 2011 during Cam's rookie season where he was breaking passing records left and right, and had one of the league's worst defenses, but it actually was a regular talking point around these parts that "Cam may have the stats, but he's not a winner like The Golden Calf of Bristol" when the Broncos went to the playoffs at 8-8 and won a playoff game. Archives don't go back that far, but I would be willing to bet there are are some of the same folks on the The Golden Calf of Bristol side that just happen to be on the Jake side too.

EDIT: I can see that T I M T E B O W is still auto edited to the Golden Calf of Bristol.

I can confirm this.

The "stats are for losers, just win baby" argument. On top of that there were constant posts about him "pouting" after losses. As if being upset about losing was a bad thing. Which looking back now looks even more suspect with how some fans are questioning his commitment to football. Like really?

Then when we started winning, we started hearing about how he celebrates.

All this poo is extremely easy to see if you've been around the whole time.

    • yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO  
    • Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.
    • Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
