The biggest mistake our FO made this past offseason was resigning Jake to that lengthy contract in order to save some cap room. Time to correct that mistake this upcoming offseason. Anybody with a brain and non bias glasses could tell you Jake was done during training camp and preseason.

All this talk of our next quarterback, but no one seems to really address the fact that after this season Jake is still on the payroll to the sum of $16 million (and, correct me if I'm wrong, but he gets this even if he rides pine for 4 years or gets cut tomorrow).

Realistically, what bearing does this have on his future? Does the management swallow its pride and take a huge shot to the balls by benching or firing Jake if it comes to that at some point? Does he get to keep the job forever just on principal, like he is now?

I'd like to know what the real options are because I don't completely understand the NFL from a management perspective (then again, neither do the Panthers). Based on what I know it seems pretty unlikely that 09-10 is Jake's last season as a Panther. :confused:

From what I understand we won't be on the payroll for a lot of that money if we just flat out cut him next year. The panthers installed option bonuses in the contract for a couple years down the road. The only signing bonus money we gave him was about 4 million at the start of this year.

My crystal ball says any veteran not named Jake Delhomme will be better.

Really? You might want to get that thing checked. Kerry Collins' passer rating is 4 points lower than Jakes. Derek Andersons is 30 lower. I guess you're good with just re-signing McCown and naming him the starter?

Don't get me wrong. I think we need to move on froom Jake as well. But I don't agree with the "anybody that's breathing" mentallity. I want Frito.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m old enough to remember when I wanted to draft Njoku We brought back Mitchell and officially kept Tremble. Mitchell Evans isn’t going anywhere. Sanders who knows, he was awful last year I fully agree we need a better TE. This room is awful Njoku would be a massive help in the red zone. However it really seems like Dan and the FO prefer to go young on offense

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      You’re underselling Loveland imo. He’s so damn good. You can line him out wide and count on him to win 1 v 1. I don’t see that from Sadiq. Loveland is going to go over 1000 yards next season I’m not overly asking for a WR3. It’s just one of the few directions Morgan could go in round 1.  Let’s say Thieneman, Fano and Cooper are all on the board it’s a tough decision. I just don’t see how this team would take Sadiq over some of those guys given the way they run their offense. Our tight end room is easily bottom of the league so I can definitely see why someone would want a tight end though. At one point during the season I was on the Sadiq train as well. I just don’t think value wise for us specifically it makes sense given our team as a whole As far as tight ends go in this draft I really like Max Klare. Very smooth mover

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      Some of you need some serious help with the way 9 lives rent free in your heads I know for a fact, Dan loves Bryce. Bryce is his guy. This offense is very young and they’re asking Bryce to do a lot. With Idzik taking over playcalling duties it’s a move that is another step in the process of Bryce taking control of the offense. 24 years old. This youth movement on offense and putting more on 9’s shoulders is going to pay off in the long run
