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.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
