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.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
