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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
