What should I do now with my #17 jersey?

Yes people! Fellow fans. I have in my possession a Jake Delhomme jersey that I received back in Christmas 2003.

I have not worn this jersey since the new york game last season, which was the only time I wore it that season.

This jersey has never been regular gametime apparel for me. This jersey is bad luck. A couple weeks after receiving it, I realized that the Panthers had a habit of losing when i sported the number 17. I recall wearing the jersey for several painful loses, including both regular season Dallas games (f**king refs!), a season opener loss to Green Bay, a season killer from the Saints, and many...many of the Vick era Falcons games. And I still think Vick's knee was down!:sad:

Anyways, since I have no further use of this jersey, I was going to donate it, but I thought it would be more fun to ask you guys what I should do with it.

So, what should I do?

Keep it and wear it with pride, Jake gave us allot of good years.

I have a 17 jersey. I don't plan on wearing it much anymore, but I plan on keeping it for the reasons you stated. Jake was a good QB and led the team to the SB. Plus, he's a likeable guy who gave it his all. I see no need to get rid of it.

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
