If I didn't already have a white Jake jersey, I'd buy one.

Like you guys said, give it some time, and Jake's dignity will be restored.

Best QB we've ever had, and has more heart than any player in the game today.

Despite how this fanbase has treated him this past year, he still wants to go out and prove to us he's still got it.

I've got a lot of respect for the man.

He's a great Panther who took us to the superbowl. On top of that he's a great guy and teammate. Nothing wrong with wearing a Delhomme jersey.

I think that's well stated. He was the face of this franchise, and was arguably the biggest part of its brightest moments. But it's apparent that his time, at least as a starter, is gone. I'd love for him to back up whoever the starting QB is next season, that kind of potential continuity is good for a team. But I hope that, regardless of what becomes of him, he is warmly remembered and greeted whenever he shows up in Charlotte. I think Jake is one of the good guys here. He's not 'gettin 'er done' as of late, but he's a good guy who loves this team and town dearly. He should be remembered for that as well!

As much as I've ragged on him this year, this is very true.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
