I dont know if this has been talked about yet since i don't know how to search it but do you guys think Carolina will restructure Delhomme's contract to open up some cap space for Peppers in case he doesn't get traded?? And if they do, do you think Delhomme will take a paycut to stay in Carolina??

I can't see Jake being asked to take a paycut, that would be an admitting lack of performance/confidence. it's more likely they sign him to a long term backloaded deal knowing he probably won't play it out.

Remember you have to take into fact the 30% rule on contracts now because of the uncapped year. So his contract extension couldn't be too back loaded. They can't really restructure either since he's in the last year of his deal. He would have to be extended.

I dont think they will restructure his contract at all, they'll let him do his thing this yr. and if he shows no improvement or they dont have a decent backup he'll be gone the next season.

I'm not sure they have much choice he has a 5.3 million cap number, it's pretty much extend or cut and he's not getting cut.

Let me rephrase, relatively backloaded.

They will probably extend Jake by three years.

For all of those who want Jake cut and replaced, who are you going to replace him with?

A rookie? Who has never taken a snap in the NFL. You do realize that most rookies struggle for several years starting out. ryan was an exception to the rule. And Flacco did not play that well...he just had a defense that was pure nastiness.

Someone like Brady Quinn, or Anderson, etc... The "hot " name of a back-up. Someone who has never proven anythign as well.

Jake is not a spring chicken and the Panthers do need to start grooming someone to be his replacement. However, he should and will start for the next few seasons.

Stop trying to interject logic into the discussion. You know that one bad playoff game totally overshadows everything else. Same as Manning in New York.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
