The way this played out with Donte, especially what happened as of late, reminds me a lot of what happened with Whitehead last season.

They talked him up, named him a captain, he ends up getting picked on in games, suddenly has a mystery injury pop up and gets demoted/benched, or in this case, IR'd.

The painful truth is that the team has an absolutely stacked CB room and in order for DJack to stay here he's going to have to do it on a team friendly deal.

He was on the upswing, a willing tackler in space that was making plays on the ball. He had a rough outing though the last couple of weeks, getting burnt and showing immaturity despite being one of the older guys in the locker room. That will hopefully allow the team some negotiating room.

They also get to see just how good that depth is. Would it be better to bring back Gilmore instead to play across from Horn with Bouye in the slot while backed up by Henderson, Taylor, and Hartsfield? Can STO3 make a play on a role on the team next year? It'll be an interesting 5 game run to close out, as that last wildcard spot is wide open still.

Agreed, until the last 2 weeks.  And when it went sour, it went sour quick.

Regarding Jackson's problems over the past few weeks, Joe Person quotes Matt Rhule as saying bad things happened because the team's safeties "left Jackson out to dry".

While i'm sure its possible, I trust zero things Matt Rhule says at this point...  and Donte is a guy he talked up and vouched for going into this season.  Donte played well early, but safety help or not, he looked bad the last two weeks in every type of scenario imaginable, and you could tell by some of the plays that safeties had nothing to do with it...  like one on one coverage in zero blitzes.  He just got exposed, and then despite being a captain, acted very immature while dealing with those struggles.

agreed. injury prone speedster had a good year in his contract year. let him walk.

I am also not sure how EVERY fan on this frickin board could clearly see he needed to be traded before the deadline but these "professionals" making millions to decide these things just let him stay and let what has happened happen.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
