Hopefully after his blow up to end the season he'll work his ass off to prove himself to his team mates and this town again. The new QB coach could help, too. If he can eliminate those couple 4+ turnover games and play steady then I think we'll be set.

I’d like to think so, but realistically Jake will be the same slightly better-than-average quarterback we’ve had since 2003. With the exception of his three games in the 2007 season, Jake’s passer rating and completion percentage numbers have been pretty similar since he came to the team. And he’s not getting any younger.

People will contend that his numbers might improve with a new quarterbacks coach, or that he’ll improve as he gets used to his bionic elbow. But the truth is that Jake will be Jake, a guy who will both win and lose some games for us all while putting up very average numbers.

If Jake hasn’t “turned the page” at this point in his career, he’s not going to. And that’s not a slight to Jake. Over the years, Jake has played well for the team and served a purpose, but he’s never going to light the world on fire. His five seasons in Carolina show what he is and isn’t capable of, and I have no reason to think his numbers next year won’t fall somewhere around his average.

I think he will have a better year. Of his 12 Ints Tampa and Oakland accounted for 9 of them. Other than the playoff debacle he had 9 games with no Ints. His rating was overly affected by a 12 rating against Oakland and a 38 against Tampa the first time.

I don't believe in selective stats so they needed to be included and no one can say he didn't have some horrible games. But in the end if a quarterback coach can help figure out how to limit his bad games, he could have a good year in 2009. When he was good he could be very good, but when he was bad early he seemed to get worse instead of recover. That is often more mental than physical. And a good quarterback coach can and should help with that.

He was average this past season. He has always been average. So I said about the same.

If we can just have a real 3 WR threat at any time, then I believe he will rise above average.

Not to be insulting, but plenty of comments similar to this were tossed around before moose came back, except the number of required WR threats then was "2".

As for Jake's season, I say better. The WR options should hopefully grow (with both Jarrett and Hackett hopefully needing to prove themselves in the offseason and thus improving). Plus, a need to proove yourself after a failure is more motivation than needing to proove yourself after an injury.

I'd like to think there'll be a little more freshness, consistency, and reproducability with the arm without the full year of rehab. I'd also like to think that Scherer has a positive impact on his fundamentals- stepping into the pocket, into throws instead of fading, and so on.

Hard to say, though.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      He had a turnover on all three goals he was on the ice for. Plus he had that god awful delay of game penalty. Like legit his GS actually shows he was the cause of the loss and he was only on the ice for 12 minutes. You remove him from that game and the Canes win or at worst go to OT.  Let's put this in perspective, in 12 minutes he directly led to 3 goals against. In the 48 minutes without him on the ice it was an even-steven 2-2 game and that's disregarding that god awful delay of game penalty that led to goal number 4 of the 5 given up.      I don't see how anyone could say that he didn't directly lead to the loss.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By CRA · Posted

      reality is the piling on of Frank Reich is just the standard huddle angle we take of putting all blame on someone after the fact.   as I was an OG Frank hater before it was cool to be......now the swing goes too far the other way and people will claim me is as a Frank defender.  Frank Reich was the definition of a .500 middle of the road NFL coach.  He technically was a winning coach and above .500 coming here but he is and was NFL average.  we were the biggest joke in a decade.....because they paired Frank Reich (a dude who was going to do what he does in the NFL) with a dude who couldn't do NFL basics and Frank was forced to play him.  That's not Frank being a loser.  That a bad org around Frank.

      Toronto is less physical than us, and they took them to 7  I really wish they would have won, because we match up better with them, but we have to deal with what we got  What worries me is Svech trying to take out Bob, that is desperation, that's what you do when you feel like there is no legit options left, it's what I feared, Bob is still in our core groups head, and they are over thinking, over passing Hopefully that changes tonight
