Too Much Love For Jake


PantherPhann

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
