Former Panther S Deon Grant on Jake: He's the "biggest disappointment" in the NFL

Sporting News came out with their midseason awards today and Jake came in second on the list for biggest disappointment of the season behind TO. But here's the quote by former Panthers safety Deon Grant on Jake: "You've got Steve (Smith), still got Muhsin (Muhammad), still got the two monsters in the backfield. So I'd have to say Jake (Delhomme)."

If you want to know how awful Jake Delhomme is, you need look no further than those that have played with or coached him. Brentson Buckner constantly blasts Jake on his show on WFNZ. Keyshawn constantly makes fun of him on ESPN. Mike Ditka, who coached him in New Orleans, has made fun of how bad he is on ESPN too. And now another former teammate gave an on-the-record quote like that to Sporting News.

If Grant would have played half the game Jake did in the SB we would have a SB ring.

He should shut the frak up. Everyone knows Jake sucks this year and struggled last year. Doesn't mean he has always sucked. Look at his stats 03-07

Deon Grant- one of our biggest busts.

Brentson Buckner- funny but not very knowledgeable and not a great player.

Keyshawn Johnson- So amazing he was replaced by Dwayne Jarrett and after we sent him packing couldn't find a job.

Mike Ditka- franchised New Orleans future to get Ricky Williams. A great judge of talent there.

It doesn't take a rocket science to figure Jake has been a big disappointment to everyone including himself. But I would hardly tout these guys as great judges of talent.

We all know Delhomme sucks this year...

But am I the only one who have the feeling that we, as Panthers fans, are the only one who are allowed to bash him? More than once have I defended Jake to other teams fans though I agree with them...

Enen though Jake is losing games for us he is stil higher in the foodchain than everyother people outside the Panthers.

So fug Buckner, Grant and Ditka.

I wont attack the messenger on this one. I will say he's dead on, and although no media type will say it, so is the Panthers organization. Im just waiting for the day that they realize it. When management finally falls out of love with losing.

The Panthers have been very, very successful for an expansion team. Look at all the expansion teams that came before them and after them....

Cleveland

Houston

Tampa Bay

Seattle

Atlanta

New Orleans

Minnesota

Of that group...one Super Bowl title, seven appearances (four by Minnesota)

Minnesota, Atlanta and New Orleans have been around since the late 60s.

TB and Seattle came along in 76.

Cleve and Houston were added this decade.

You forgot Baltimore whos won a Super Bowl and has a winning record as a franchise. J-Ville also has a winning record as a franchise. We dont. And never will under the current ownership group unless they drastically change their philosophy. Most of those teams you listed, although expansions dont see themselves as such anymore. I feel we should be the same way. 15 years is long enough to figure it out and start competing year in and year out to be 1 of the best football teams, not just the best expansion.

funny how the guys with "more football knowledge than any of us" says he sucks and the usual guys dont believe them. But if they defended delhomme and said he was great, they would be like " See! these guys with better knowledge than us say he is great! They watched him in practice every day!"

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
