Jake might be able to win me back...

...just a SLIGHT amount if he goes out there and does enough to keep us undefeated in the Superdome since 2003...

Yes, that is when Jake became our starting QB, and no, we haven't lost against the Saints in their house since... even the year Jake was hurt...

If we can just win this game, it could do wonders for both bringing down the Saints morale, boosting ours, and getting us back a little respect that we gave up so early in the year...

Since I started this trend last week, I will be DVRing the game, and playing catchup around halftime... I guess I've started a new superstition since we got the W last week, so I'll stick to it for now..

I'm not expecting the win, but hopefully we at least keep it respectable and maybe even pull out the W...

Point 1. Rationally speaking, no matte what happens Jake is the best QB we have on the roster at the moment.

Point 2. Jake is a gunslinger that always stands a punchers chance at winning.

Point 3. Assuming we win out and Jake is doesnt throw another interception all season he is still an average QB at best. and he is 34 or so years old

Point being, I like Jake, and I might have confidence in jake this year but Jake has a shelf life as a QB. I love the personality of the team in terms of Jake, Smitty and all the other guys. They seem to have a very good comraderie that is probably among the best in the NFL. But in the end the team needs to do what is best for the team. Unfortunately there will be some turnover coming that will impact that core.

I think that Arizona game did a lot for Jake, whether he will admit it now or not. That's aside from the injury, of course. He was 7 for 11 before he got hurt, which is pretty darn good. I don't count the passes he threw after that, because if was obvious that he couldn't physically throw the ball after that. Honeslty, I'm still more worried about the pass protection right now than Jake. He can't keep taking those kind of hits and survive the season.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
