No offense to Jake, but Sam has a lot more talent. 

Yeah, and a lot of talented guys got that ass beat by Jake too.

56-40 in 96 starts...

...your are what your record says you are and Jake is a winner.

No offense to Sam, but Jake was a winner out of the gate as a starting QB. Pedigree be damned. 

Now if Sam can come out and be Jake 2.0, I'll sing his praises. Or if he can live up to his earlier promise, that'll be big, too. 

There's a lot of pressure on Sam right now. Here's hoping that he handles it well.

No offense to anyone, but Jake was 27. Not fresh out of college.  

No one has said Jake wasn't  a winner. 

Take your panties off.

How right you are...and I had no idea how right you really are.

7-9, 1-15, 7-9...Panthers records 3 seasons pre-Jake.

10-5, 7-9, 11-5, 7-6, 2-1, 12-4...Jake's regular season record as a starter first 6 seasons in w/ CAR.  

Given he was playing for an inept owner/franchise who never once produced back-to-back winning seasons, and only has 7 winning seasons in the 26-year franchise -- Jake's overall production is simply amazing!

Furthermore, in the 26-year history of the franchise the team has 9 total wins in the playoffs -- Jake was at the helm for 5 of those.  

Did you know Jake was the 1st QB in NFL history to lead his team to 4 consecutive road-playoff wins?!?

What an incredible record of accomplishment he has...

...hell, I believe there is a strong argument to be made that the Jake Era constitutes the Golden Years for this franchise!

Panthers fans after Cam was drafted disrespect Jake Delhomme way too much. Jake was one hell of a QB before the surgery. 

LOL I dont know about "one hell of a QB".  He was very average, he was just an amazing leader and is as clutch as you can get.  Jake always had "it".  He was never a prolific QB.  He never broke 4000 yards or 30 TDs and he threw a lot of picks.  Don't get me wrong, he is the 2nd best QB we ever had and was the heart and soul of the team for many good years....but he was never one of the more talented QBs.  He also had 2 borderline HoF WR's to throw to.

Remember Jake played for John Fox's run first offense. A typical series was like: run-run-pass (if 3rd and manageable) or Run-run-run (draw up the middle if 3rd and long).  I'm not saying Jake was a great QB, but he was never going to put up massive yards passing in that offense.

      Don't be greedy.

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t see what would make him so good with Bryce to be honest, that we aren’t covering now with Tet and Coker. We need a Smitty type. Easier said than done but those smoke screens and stuff, with two Moose types for people to worry about, seems better to me. A little guy with supreme quickness, that will fight for a ball thrown to him. Smitty was a very rare specimen. But try and get close.    I think looking for straight up speed to go downfield, can’t really use it with Bryce. I feel like a speed demon would just outrun Bryce’s ball and have to coast on his deep routes to stay within range.  You need a QB that will launch it 50-60 yards so he can turn on the afterburners and go.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I still can't believe Harbaugh took the Giants job knowing the Bills job was going to open up with anything less than a Super Bowl run by McDermott. Now he's stuck with basically the white Lamar Jackson, on and off the field, a RB who will be in the WWE in 2 years, and Malik Nabers who will want to be traded by the end of next year.  Not to mention that division is an absolute gauntlet.  Stefanski to the Falcons, unfortunately for us, is a great hire.  He will see what a bum Penix is, make Cousins the starter and they will run away with the division for the next 2-3 years.  The rest of the jobs are great opportunities to get a guaranteed $30-$50M depending on who you are and where you go, but there isn't a single job out there where you are going to win immediately other than Buffalo (where you have to deal with a front office undermining you) and Baltimore (where your QB purposely sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles and dresses like he's in a Bobby Shmurda video).

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By frankw · Posted

      Folks complained quite frequently when DJ Moore was here that he was not a #1 and never would be. That was when he was still on a rookie contract and then briefly on the new deal we signed him to which now looks like an absolute steal compared to his current contract. If he were here now making what he's making we would never hear the end of it. Gotta turn the page.
