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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
