I think a lot of people miss a point.

Sure, if we hadn't played Jake and instead played one of our other terrible QB's, we would not have gotten as far as we did. The point is, if we had played someone BETTER than Jake at QB, we would have gone farther than we did.

Jake has leadership qualities and is charismatic. That's good. But from a technical standpoint, in terms of skill, he is mediocre. We can do better.

Hell yeah I am. 12-4, NFC South Champs, one hell of a season ride. I said it before we wouldnt of even been in the playoffs if not for Jake. Im not saying hes the only reason or being a homer here but seriously, he had the worst game of his career. If you have ever played any sport you cant honestly tell me you havent f*cked up. We did go 12-4 with him at the helm in the reg season. Ill take that any year with a playoff shot.

kill myself? you have some serious issues man...

I would have to agree with him (other then the kill yourself thats not something you joke about). We won late in the season on and solely on Williams' legs. Too many times did Jake make poor decisions in games where the rest of the team had to bail him out. And this is nothing new he has been doing this throughout his career. If it weren't for Steve Smith Delhomme would be fighting for a roster spot. And lets not forget that he is due a $1 million roster bonus in early March. This is on top of his $5.325 million salary. That's a lot of change for a Average at best horrible at worst QB.

But unfortunately I don't see any circumstance in which if Fox is back next season that Jake wont be his starter. Here's to hoping he calls it quits.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
