I want to apologize in advance for the long post. I need to vent...

A couple weeks ago I called in to Panther talk and posed this question to Eugene Robinson:

Why does everyone who gets paid to talk about football have so much faith in Delhomme while the rest of us nearly have a heart attack every time he rolls out of the pocket?

He turned it around on me with the following questions:

Q: Since becoming a starter, what has Jake done for the team?

A: Super Bowl appearance, 3 trips to the playoffs including 2 trips to the NFC championship.

Q: What happened last year without him?

A: 7-9. But we also set a record for starting the most QBs in a single season. Lack of depth at teh QB position is deathly obvious.

Q: How did fans feel about Eli Manning last year, and look what he accomplished?

A: I'm not comparing Eli Manning to Jake. Eli is arrogant and was forced to prove himself under his own terms.

Q: Would Jake not have a Super Bowl ring if Kasay hadn't kicked the ball out of bounds?

A: Impossible to answer. (What I wanted to say was I wonder if you would have the Bart Starr award if you would have been arrested for soliticiting prostitution before receiving the award and thus blowing coverage in one of the biggest bonehead moments in Super Bowl history)

Q: Do you not think Jake has what it takes to lead this team to a Super Bowl victory?

A: Not unless he remembers there is a "blind-side".

Robinson then went on to basically call me a dumbass and took the next call. Well guess what---6 turnovers and no more Carolina football for 7 months. Ok, it's not all 17's fault. Why we abandoned the run is beyond belief. Why we played zone D and left Fitzgerald all alone in the flats time after time absolutely amazes me. So what do we do?

>>J Pepp--adios---thanks for the memories

>>Jake---5mil a year pay cut and a trip to the #2 spoet. "Mini-Me, move down the bench"

>>Graham Harrell---threw for nearly 4800 yards last season and is expected to go 3rd or 4th roud. Think about it.

>>Gamble---we've gambled on you too long. Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

>>Lucas---a good play here and there doesn't cut it in the NFL. report upstairs imeediately and bring your playbook.

>>Jeff Davidson---the run got us there, so WTF? If I were Eric Cartman I'd kick you "squah in the beanbag"

>>John fox---Oh Johnny Boy. You're the coaching equivalent of Jake Delhomme. Everybody likes your heart-on-the-sleve style and modest ego. We also like to win outright instead of squeezing out these 3 pointers at the buzzer. Get it together, or you're done after next season. Sorry.

Ahhh....I feel better.

maybe because some of the "experts" know a little bit more about this than you?

Eugene has a point.

I don't mean to come across as having a negative tone.

Hey--look the new guy has an opinion--let's pick one blurb out of a rediculously long post and trash him for it.

I'm not a fan of what Gamble has or hasn't accomplished over the years, so sue me. I don't think he's the primary catalyst of our issues either. Yes, we're a 12 win team, and in order to have another winning season we need to look at what went wrong and make the necessary changes. Look, we're all on the same side here---have an open mind...

To be fair, everyone's jumped on that one blurb because it's easily the most ridiculous part of your post.

Don't let 'em get to you. I think all we're saying is that Lucas is by the weakest link in our secondary, not Gamble. We can't overhaul the entire secondary.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
