Yup.

Brad Johnson Games Started 125 Record 72-53-0 57%

Jake Delhomme Games Started 96 Record 56-40-0 58%

Almost the same win %

BJ - 82.5 QBR

JD - 81.2 QBR

They are the same except 1 won a Super Bowl. No one in Tampa has even thought to retire his number.

Apples/Oranges as far as what Jake meant to this organization vs. what Brad meant to the Bucs.

This really comes down to a matter of opinion so there's no point arguing about who is "right".

Sam Mills is not one of the all-time greats at LB, so why have we unofficially retired his #? It's because he meant more to this team then just his on-field performance.

If you were to make a Mt. Rushmore of the Panthers right now, I think Jake's face belongs on it and his # deserves consideration for retirement.

Bottom line, this is a silly discussion since the Panthers don't retire numbers. I would just prefer to not see someone running around out there in # 17, too soon for my taste.

Jake might have meant that much to you and again that's your opinion.

I hope he does do the 1 day contract and retire a Panther....but we better not be paying for his plane ticket or hotel.

#51 was retired in 2005.

That's correct, and we did that not long after he died in April of 2005, so we all know it had as much if not more to do with who he was off the field and what he meant to this organization as it did with his performance.

I'm not arguing against retiring Mills # or giving him a statue, just pointing out the decision to retire a # isn't always a matter of performance and how many SB's you won... it's based on what you meant to the organization as well and Jake meant a lot to this organization as evidenced by the press conference they held when he was cut.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
