Man. Im glad hes gone, but every time i see him in a Panthers uniform I get bummed. I hope when he retires he signs a 1 day contract and we should retire his jersey. I'll never forget this horrible last 2 years. but hes still a great guy (and a great QB for several years). good luck Jake

let me know the day Smith mans up like that. Jake is a good leader, doesn't blame anyone but himself.

I think if he has to earn the starter's position, he will and he'll do well. I think he just needs to compete for it to prove to himself he's still got it.

Mike Holmgren sees something in him, and he's got a history of doing well with quarterbacks. I guess I'll be watching some Browns games on the Sunday Ticket this year.

I think the number one thing that affected Delhomme in his latter years in Carolina was pressure. After the 2003 and 2005 seasons, he was expected to lead us to the playoffs each and every year. The pressure just mounted from then on out and after the 2008 season and his lucrative contract extension, the pressure was insurmountable.

Jake seems to be a guy that succeeds when he's under the radar (just like the rest of the Panther team). He came off the bench in 2003 and succeeded. 2004 was a year the Panthers were decimated by injuries. We were expected to win it all that year but we struggled and Delhomme was back under the radar. 2005 was another successful season with Delhomme not under the spotlight. Everyone seemed to have faith in Delhomme and when the Panthers didn't deliver, he was to blame.

I think he will succeed in Cleveland, especially if he's not the starter to start the season. I wish him the best.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
