I bet you the Panthers sign him to a one-day contract and he retires.

I have no hate for him, I hope if he wants to play some more he signs some where and has fun. That's what it is all about for him. If he doesn't want to play bring him back here and let me retire a true Panther like he is.

This!

I'd sign him and let him backup Clausen, that is if we don't go out and pick up another one of the scrub FA Qbs available......not like we have alot of options.

Not this! We have tons of options in free agency...

Whether it's this year or next....Jake WILL retire a Panther....you can bet on that. He did so much for our franchise and loved our organization as much if not more than the fanbase.

Now, I wouldn't complain if we signed him to a one year deal to be 3rd QB to mentor our young guys. We HAVE to have a veteran QB and some leadership.

The past 2 1/2 years have somewhat proved he can no longer play as a full time starter ( he began his INT streak on the 2nd half of '08), but he DOES have a lot more experience & knowledge most back-ups don't. I think he could be a wonderful back-up...probably 3rd. Clausen & Moore didn't have anyone to talk to during bad games but lame duck Fox

I think you answered your own question... You want to retire under the jersey of the team you will be remembered for. At least that is the mindset behind it.

That's what Stephen Davis did, retiring as a Panther. He was actually best known as the RB who helped lead us to the SB big time. Delhomme lead us to the SB, the playoffs three times & even made the pro bowl in '05 (believe it or not). Let him retire as Panther

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
