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.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
