Too Much Love For Jake

Alright fellas, I don't like what I'm seeing here. It's no secrete how much Jake means and meant to the FO but the logic of this is unreasonable. He blows the playoff game against the Cards and the FO reward him with a huge underserved contract. I kinda understood the contract to the tune of helping out the salary cap b/c of Franchising Pep that season, so that gave us a little room in which we needed b/c of the unforseen DT situation. But to top that off, Jake comes back with a terrible 18 Int through 11 games w/o ever being pulled. The FO was willing to throw the season away standing behind Jake. Was the injury real or not, I don't know, but Moore showed the world, more importantly, the fans that he can ball. Now we're on the hook to Jake for 12.7 mil. If i gotta pay him anyway, why cut him, this is a business! The FO loves Jake so much, they cut him so he would be free to sign wth a team of his choice knowing he already has 12.7 mil in his pocket. They've hurt the team to love Jake. There is something seriously wrong with that. Jake is/was a good QB, eventhough Smitty has made him look great at times, he's never been great. The business thing to do, would've been to keep him as a backup or trade him. That way you continue to bring value to your team though your contract mistakes. But they decided to hurt the team and show Jake their love. This ain't normal, this is Too Much Love For Jake! Whats going on that we don't know?

Nobody would have traded for him. Keeping him would have created an akward situation due to Jake's presence as a leader on team. They cut him because he stinks. They didn't do it to give him money. That's a big stretch of the imagination.

Like you said, it's a business. If you think the Panthers cut Jake just so he could sign with another team, I think you might be the one not thinking logically.

The Panthers have been unquestionably loyal to Jake, and that's exactly why they cut him -- to show Moore that he is their No. 1 guy, and to take away any temptation of starting Jake.

They did not sign to that contract as a reward. It was a necessary evil in order to get Julius' franchise tag worked in under the cap.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.    I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that wouldn’t endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either.

      This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
