First off, I haven't read all one million post about jake since saturday, so if this is a repeat of someone's idea, I apologize.

Anyways, Jake's best years were 03-05 in which he went to the pro bowl in 05. Then he began to slack off after the nfc championship game against the seahawks. Even when everyone thought he had a "great" second receiver in keyshawn, he did not have a great year.

Since 05, he has been an average QB, with the exception of the beginning of the 07 season. In his first three games that year, before his surgery, he was off to his best start as a QB yet. Why do you think he was playing his best? Because he had pressure. Carr was brought in "just in case" Jake started to screw up, so he knew he couldn't make the mistakes that everyone let slide during the 06 season. He did not have any pressure this year with McCown and Moore waiting, so yet again, he was a mediocre QB.

So maybe this offseason we should keep Jake, after renegotiating his contract, but bring in another QB to pressure Jake and hopefully make him perform as well as he did at the beginning of last season before he elbow went out. It could be through the draft or free agency, but someone who would rattle jake and let him know that he can't f*ck up this year.

I think Delhomme's career in Carolina is going to be wrapped up here sooner or later. I've always supported the guy and he has done us well in certain situations and in others, not so much. Within the next season or two, our best interest is to get a new quarterback. We should possibly trade a descent player or so to get a good draft selection for QB.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
