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.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
