For all the criticism Jake gets from the media, from opponents and even from us, there is something that happens to this guy when he plays in the playoffs. He is a different QB. At least so far that's what he's shown us.

It's kind of amuzing, but the guy who had one of the worst QB ratings this year in a regular season game, could be the same guy that has the best QB rating in the post-season. That is of course, if you were to believe history which is all we have to go with right now.

What is most impressive is that Jake showed that from his very first playoff game. For some reason, he shines when the team is down in the 4th quarter, when it's 3rd and 11 in double over time in the playoffs, or when you are throwing bombs and your opponent's captain happens to be Tom Brady in the Superbowl.

Jake, attribute it to him being crazy, or so fired up that he just pushes away the pressure other QB's feel in situations like this, is exactly who I would want as my QB in the playoffs. Sure there is Ben and Eli. And veterans like McNabb and Warner. And yes those guys may have better stats, names, and better physical talent than Jake, but even though Eli has a ring I still feel Jake is the better leader who will make things happen when and if the game comes down to the wire.

I almost feel more confident about us winning a game when we are down by a touchdown or less in the 4th quarter with Jake behind the ball then when we are up. Someone just needs to teach him and our coaching staff how to finish the games off when we are up by 10 points instead of getting all conservative and letting teams catch us.

But I think there is one hidden stat that the NFL, the media and the rest of the fans don't know about where Jake is without a doubt miles ahead of the competition. And that stat is: "Ball size".

And I don't mean the official one. I think if we were to measure the balls of all the QB's in the NFL, Jake would win by a land slide.

"Delhomme has a passer rating of 95.0 in seven playoff games, five of which the Panthers won. Of the other quarterbacks in this season's playoffs, only Arizona's Kurt Warner (92.3) approaches Delhomme's postseason excellence as a passer."

I agree. Although, he usually pisses me off in the regular season most games, I feel very confident when he takes the field for us in the playoffs.

Also, one of his better games of the regular season came vs. Arizona. That mixed w/ his history of success in the playoffs and how hot our run game is right now, has me feeling very good about this team come game day!

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
