My two cents say that Jake was one heckuva leader and has been a great service to the Panthers. He had some great years here in Carolina - especially when we made that run at the Super Bowl in '08. There's not a doubt in my mind that this dude - a guy who's not only a great QB, but also a really funny person to have in the locker room - is definitely gonna be missed.

and it was definitely our running game that got us there. the only time we relied on jake is when we were late in the 3rd quarter, about to lose, then he'd just lob balls down field for smith, and would hope he'd make a miraculous catch (which he did at least 80% of the time), which technically means it was smith and our running game that got us to the playoffs. and then delhomme ruined it for everyone. even his own teammates couldn't look at him. smith sat on the other end of the bench, crying. the team fell apart because they didn't trust jake anymore, end of story. forget about what he did for this team...

yeah, he put us on the map, but the NFL is ALL about "what have you done for me lately?"

Jake didn't lead us on a run at the super bowl in 08. Jake knocked us out of the playoffs in the first round in 08...

you gotta be kidding me, you're telling me with maybe josh mccown in there instead of jake in 08 we woulda been at that position. I don't think that would be a good judgement to make, and I believe Moore was injured that year. but really, the comeback Jake made was incredible, and it all started with the winning TD vs SD. But past is past, and he did lead us to the playoffs, whether statistics or not, he LEAD us.

he didn't lead us... the coaching staff did... and if we would've had a player with jake delhomme's leadership then yes, we would've made it to the playoffs, blah blah blah. jake isn't a special quarterback that we couldn't have found a replacement for. Fox just didn't wanna go through the process of scouting and then to switch quarterbacks, and put his faith in a new QB when he was already familiar with jake. this is how coaching works. you find a guy who you're comfortable with, and you stick with him till he does what jake did last season. for example, matt hassalbeck, not the greatest QB in the world, but mike holmgren was comfortable with him, therefor he stuck with him. they could've made a move up the draft boards for sanchez last season, or matt ryan the season before that. so you can't say jake led us to the super bowl. all he did was his job, and the coaching staff, along with smith and our running game, got us to the super bowl.

Actually, Jake did led us to the Superbowl beside Smitty, Davis, & others. If he didn't led us, then how did we won against the Jags in the first home game (when Peete couldn't do crap) & the Playoffs against the Rams? It wasn't Weinke or Peete, for sure. You could say Smitty did in that Playoffs, but who threw the ball to him that gave us the win? Exactly!

Thanks, Chris. Like you, I was always a "Jake fan" and defended him in conversations with other fans. I admired his leadership and his spirit. But this was the time for him to go. Best wishes to Jake's future for him and his family.

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      By kass · Posted

      Winning games and be a +500 team are good. But the goal is to win Super Bowl.  Chiefs had Alex Smith, went to playoff twice and still replaced him.   BY as of now: - To many fumbles - Completion in the intermediate range is just far below acceptable - Not enough of a deep throw threat....   The stats you try use is deceiving.  Catchable......  That is an opinion. Show me the completion %. And also, how does BY compare to other QBs using the stats you cited. Oh... ranked at 27

      The Entitlement Paradox: When Winning Isn't Enough for Panther fans.    Just the other season(s) we were praying for wins by any means. Brought in every run of the mill QB you could think of.  We know all sides of the ball was bad like egregious bad. However some how we have won 5 games and TOXIC ENTITLEMENT has emerged.    We are a team that has to take wins by anymeans nothing has changed. Keep pounding means it aint gonna be perfect!!    Some panther fans have now developed a toxic entitlement where even victories feel insufficient, demanding flawless performance, or perfection, which stems from historical success in which we dont have any lol. This mindset poisons communities by fostering relentless criticism, harassment, and ingratitude that undermine team morale and alienate casual supporters. For the new Carolina Panthers, this could manifest as fans booing Bryce Young after gritty wins for low passing yards despite low turnovers, pressuring tepper into premature changes mid-rebuild, or driving away talent through online abuse!! eroding the positive momentum from their recent 4-game streak has brought us. Trust and believe the players do see your toxicity.    Anyways here are some positive stats.      Most Accurate QB on... 20+ Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (79.2%) 2. Sam Darnold (79.2%) 3. Bryce Young (75.0%) 10-19 Yard Throws 1. Jaxson Dart (88.0%) 2. Jayden Daniels (82.9%) 3. Drake Maye (80.7%) 0-9 Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (92.9%) 2. Spencer Rattler (92.6%) 3. Bryce Young (91.7%) @FantasyPtsData
