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.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • 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.
