So bittersweet. Sad to see him go, but I know it's best for the team. Good luck Jake, my man.

Word.

HELL YES!!! Now we can use the money from him and pep being cut to extend Davis, Dwill, and a few other contracts...this could be a sign that we arent going cheap in FA this year just a thought

Pardon me, but don't we still have to pay him $12 millions, even when releasing him??

I don't really know how to take it.

His contract was way too big, but I find it hard to celebrate his release. He's a genuinely good guy.

I agree. Some people just dislike how he play lately, that they're so hateful & immature. But whatever. He was the best QB we ever has for the Panthers & will always be remebered for the best season in history when we went to the SB. Thanks for everything, Jake!! :sifone:

And Richardson better not get Vick. Hearing Vick want to join us & releasing Jake, I have a bad feeling this is going to happend. But I sure as hell hope not. Also, gloating at someone being cut is very immature & not the way how our fanbase should be. We should be classy & respectful. At least some are being respectful here. ;)

It's funny... I thought I would be so happy once Delhomme was gone, but I'm actually having mixed emotions about it.

Once my initial F YEAH! reaction subsided, I started and am feeling the same way.

Jake Delhomme was one of the most unique players we've had on this team and I will miss the good times he had from '03-'05. He's a legitimately great, great, great guy. He's done a lot for the Charlotte community, a lot more than people realize. Jake Delhomme the man? A class act even for this team that has historically had plenty of them.

I truly do wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do next, whether it be football or something else.

Makes no sense to cut him with all that money he could be a emergency backup/mentor.

It makes all the sense in the world. We just cut him in a year where it won't effect our ability to sign any new free agents. Whereas, if we kept him and there was a salary cap put into place during the year that we would have cut him, he would have consumed our cap. It was a great move by the FO.

It is sad, as I said before, he's the best QB we ever had and took us further than any other QB.

I believe he was a Top 10 QB at one time, so it's sad to see him go.

Like I said last year, I wish they would've just made the change last offseason so he could go out with some dignity, hold the clipboard for a year or so and let us remember him for the QB he was.

We would've forgotten the Cards debacle after some time, but to put him back out there repeatedly to do the same thing, it was horrible how he was treated this year.

Sucks, but he knows it's a business and he'll do fine in whatever he pursues.

In all seriousness, Thanks Jake.

Agreed. I hate to see him go out like this. I'm also wondering who the back up QB is gonna be.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
