Most Hated Panther ever: Jake Delhomme?

As a Panther fan since their inception, I've supported the players who have come and gone. But the amount of hatred I've seen toward Jake since the playoffs is simply amazing. The guy had an awful game, and now everyone (literally EVERY PANTHER FAN I KNOW) wants him gone. In favor of Moore, Weinke, Peete, Vick, McNabb, any QB who has ever taken a snap. I don't understand. I supported him when he did well, was mad when he didn't but never wanted him released.

Honestly if Steve Smith kills a teammate, I honestly think he'd be absolved and people would still love him. He drops 5 passes in a playoff game, he had a rough night. DeAngelo fumbles the winning TD, he has a rough day. Jake overthrows Moose, CUT HIM!! TRADE HIM KILL HIM JUST KEEP ME FROM LOOKING AT HIM!

I hope he does get cut, and kicks our ass in a game so BoA stadium is silenced. When a Panthers player is signed, I stay loyal as long as he shows class. That's gone for anybody. In this day and age of fairweather fans, I believe that is too much to ask of any other Panther fan. At least none I've seen. How many of you hate him? All of you?

I don't hate him but I'm tired of his flaws. He's had the same problems for a while now. I want him to improve. He's always overthrowing/under throwing and not seeing guys who are wide open. I don't question his leadership and 4qtr magic though. I think more 3 WR sets will help him.

Obviously a very well thought-out statement. I can see that you are a smartass, and I can read that you cannot answer a question.
i don't think that you did enough looking around in here before you started making a thread. jake isn't the most hated by a long shot. every thread has a split between those who are loyal to him and those who want him gone. if you had really looked around inside of threads then you would have noticed that.

i didn't answer a question that any observant person should have been able to discern because i didn't think it was necessary. i may still be right in that.

It actually seems that Peppers is more despised right now than Jake.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
