To Jake Haters


Carolina Crazy V2

Recommended Posts

I am hearing a lot of "We should have traded for Brett Favre or drafted Flacco or traded for Henne and we should have known since Jake's awful season in 2006 that we needed a QB".

To this, I say:

So you are saying that we should have just thrown away our team chemistry by putting Jake on the bench and passed on an elite run blocking tackle or the best complementing back in the league by drafting Flacco. Nice idea.

Oh and in Jake's "awful season" he had a 82 passer rating which is higher than Favre's in 2008. And we would have gotten rid of Favre after last year so dont say "well this year, we would be awesome!".

So, even though it is pointless in me saying this, stop complaining about Jake. Subract the game vs. Philly and Buffalo and up until last week, his QB rating would be 87.

Traded for Favre? I'll agree with you there.

lol what "team chemistry"? The awful display that's going on right now or the "run for 2,400 hundred yards and profit off play action" chemistry?

lol Jeff Otah isn't an "elite" RT.

and "complementing backs"? you're trying to establish a ranking system for that? Yes I'm sure it is completely acceptable to think a back who you will use on less than half the offensive snaps is a better choice than a so far above average QB that will start for you for years to come.

Oh and in Jake's "awful season" he had a 82 passer rating which is higher than Favre's in 2008. And we would have gotten rid of Favre after last year so dont say "well this year, we would be awesome!".

please post the exact original post you referenced here

Jake cannot deliver the ball to his receiver's accurately or reliably. When he does he rarely delivers it in a fashion that is possible to catch and maintain a running stride. Jake also seems to overthrow his receiver on almost every deep pass.

We're 4-6 because of Jake, period. We would have had more winning seasons with a better QB during Jake's time here, period. The sooner you accept that, the better your life will be, period. Jake is and will always be just average, period.

1. Most of us don't hate Jake; we hate his playing as of late.

2. You can tear down chemistry, but you can also rebuild it and better than before.

3. The difference between a Jake Delhomme and a Brett Favre is that Brett Favre types can bounce back from a horrible game with a prolific, if not HOF type game the next week. Sometimes he can bounce back in the very same game that he has just almost gave away. Players rally around Favre because of his play. Players rally around Delhomme because of his leadership and can-do attitude. Which would you really rather have?

4. In the immortal words of Fox and the Huddle; "Stats are for losers. It's the win that matters."

Had we known how well Flacco would play, I would say absolutely. Do you know how valuable a franchise quarterback like Flacco is to your team?

Most would have been ready to string up our FO 2 years ago if we had picked a QB who couldn't beat Tyler Palko to start at Pitt so he transferred to Div AA.

    • I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem. 
    • This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation. 
    • Put Young on any team and they would still have to run a limited scheme for him. Put any talent around him and they still have to carry him.  IDGAF if we trade him inside the NFCS next year. That is how little I fear ever playing him.
