Then I proved my point. Take away only 2 or 3 of our wins and we wouldn't even made the playoffs. All the whole regular season is is one long playoff round. Last time I checked, you have to have a certain record to even be eligible for the playoffs...had we lost only 2 - 3 more games than we did, we wouldn't have even been playing last night. Those are the games we HAD TO WIN in order to even get to the playoffs.

:rofl:

Yes, and you have to eat some sort of food, or you will die. :rolleyes:

I don't believe that Jake's performace this season warrants him being released from the Panthers. For the most part, he was solid...not spectacular or outstanding, but solid. Only 7 other teams made it as far as the Panthers did - that says something.

Yes, it says something about our "team". However alot of that success was due to the fact that we have a great run game. The run game is a huge part of our success.

However i must disagree with Jake. In 2 games after a bye week he managed to go 24/61(39.3%) 2TDs 9INT and 1Fumble. Also most of his yards came as useless yards in the last drive with minutes left in the 4th quarter. Its too bad because our team was built well this year for the most part. However i will say its not all jakes fault, plenty of blame belongs to our coaches, they simply put together a horrible game plan. We had 2 drives that looked looked like panther football(offensively) They were the first and last drives of the game.

One thing helped is that we played some bad teams this yr i.e. DET, KC, and OAK. Those were like gimmes. For the ppl that are saying we wouldnt have been 12-4 without him...you have to understand that our running is wayyy better than last yr which takes pressure off of jake. Look at the numbers. we damn near had 30 RUSHING TD's and jake has like half of that.

I think this team is going to look different next year. Not at QB but we have several players that are going to look at what happened against the Cardinals and not want to suffer through it again with Jake. They are going to try their luck with other teams. You know we do have several free agent on the roster.

And me as well. For those who won't support him, please rewind your VHS to the 2007 seaon. Then press play.

That's what I thought.

In the end though, we do need to be drafting a QB early in the draft. Between that player and Moore, hopefully we can develop a young QB to take over, when ready.

Get off his nuts, our options were a rookie, david fuging carr or a 46 year old man. we dont need to look for a qb, MOORE.

Which of the major players are free agents?

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
