If this is the end for Jake...

...this is a sad way for him to go out. Fact is, he's done a lot of good here.

2003 & 2005 were great years, even though it fell apart in Seattle.

I guess I'm not as "ANGRY" as most of you all, because after the interception at 14-7 on the goal line, the game was as good as over with the way Arizona was moving the ball, especially after the Fitzgerald catch lit a fuse in them because the two Panthers were too STUPID to knock the ball away him after he bobbled it, so I found something else to do.

By the time I turned it back for an update, it was 27-7, so poof, good-bye for good football game.

Didn't see most of the debacle, but Jake had a decent career here, and did good coming off of the surgery.

He began his time with the Panthers as a hero after Rodney Pete came out, began it this season as a hero in San Diego, and then have it end with a game that was out of character for him for the playoffs?

I mean you have to feel for the guy, some. :leaving:

fug 'em. It's his job to succeed and he didn't. If we help pay him (buying tickets, merch., etc.) for a service and he fails, we have every right to want his head. I feel for him having it happen on his birthday, but I've wanted him gone for far too long now to feel bad that this happened to him.

I bet we don't even replace him or draft for a replacement... That's the part I'm going to be mad about.

I agree.. and a few others will also come around.. things are pretty tense right now, give it time. I say give the guy another chance... he shouldn't be defined, or judged, based on one horrible... hooooorrriiibbbllle game performance... the best quarterbacks have had worse games... lets see how he takes the loss.. and what he does in the off season... if he wants a job with this team next year.. he better work his cajun ass off for it

he's 34, he's not getting any better. no one asked him to go out and win the game for us. we just needed him to give us a chance. but i guess when your defense can't stop anyone the qb has to go out and try to win the game.

then again, if you'd stop turning the ball over, maybe the defense could stop someone.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
