Will you miss Peppers or Delhomme more?

[Cat Fanboy]

I stuck by Jake long after my friends gave up on him...but after watching many games during this (oh so long) off season I cant help but to look at almost every one of Jakes passes just him throwing it up...Smith made Jake.

Peppers - Im gonna miss him the most. Being a Peppers fan hasnt been easy last couple of years. Hard to like a guy who 'doesnt want to be a Panther'.

I really hope Peppers will be back in a few years to close out his career.

Jake and it's not even close.

Jake would have played for free if it meant he could stay here for another chance.

Peppers turned down the biggest defensive end contract in the league to leave, and has badmouthed the Panthers since leaving. Would I want him back on the team? Hell yes because he's one of the best, but this thread is about who I'd miss more so it's obviously Jake.

Peppers was the better player, but as a person can't be mentioned in the same sentence as Jake.

Funny, Peppers puts up All-Pro numbers every year (except one) while Jake's last name has been used as the epitome of failue, yet you're going to miss Jake more? It's amazing how sensitive our fanbase is when a player expresses wanting to play somewhere else.

Jake has done more for the franchise than Peppers.(both on AND off the field.)

Peppers is obviously the better player now, but fact is this wasn't about "who you want back on the team more" it's about "who are you going to miss more."

[Jangler]

Jake. And it has nothing to do with Peppers wanting to play somewhere else. It has to do with character. But that is something that has been lost in America...very few people really have it or recognize it when they see it.

You guys can't be serious, fug that he didn't want to be here stuff. Pep will be missed over this way

Yeah like lose game after game for this organization.

This shouldnt even be a debate. Peppers all the way! I care more about production than I do character. Jake single handedly destroyed this team last year while Peppers still played at a pro bowl level.

picks or not, atleast jake showed up to play every sunday

Thanks for making my point.

Yeah like bring the team to multiple playoff victories and it's first Super Bowl appearance and playing lights out in it, only to be let down by the defense.

See what I did there?

[PantherBob]

Thanks for making my point.

What was your point? That most americans would prefer a DE that gets you 10 sacks a year instead of a QB that throws twice as many INTs than TD passes.

You're right....Shame on them!

[pantherclaw]

Jake is a great guy, but his production (or lack there of) is going to be easier to replace.

Replacing peppers production, and mere presense on the field will be impossible.

Yes Jake did alot of good things from 2003 - 2005. After that he became a liability. You can go back to 2006 when he threw 4 game ending INTs at the end of the game which cost us a shot at the playoffs or him throwing more INTs than TDs in 2008 (including the playoffs) and in 2009. The fact is he was causing more harm than good.
