Why i Support Jake as our QB


dpanthersman

Recommended Posts

we can all argue all day long about how good jake is or how bad jake is. and some of it i agree with and some of it i dont. i agree we need to look for a futre replacement for jake. i agree jake has had some bad games and makes some stupid throws at times. but at the end of the day theres only one thing that realy matters, jake is the leader of this team, the players support him they believe in him and we win games with him as our QB. below is a list of QB win percentages with a min of 10 starts at the start of the 2008 season. he doesnt have the best percentage but as far as active QBs goes hes far from the worse. so IMO we should follow the lead of the players on this team and support jake aslong as hes our QB. the minute hes benched or retired or traded we can all start hating him. but until that day comes its not gonna do anything but tick everybody off even worse. cause like it or not hes our QB

Any argument for a single player based on a TEAMS winning % is completely ignored by me. I'm pretty sure I saw 10 other guys on the field with Jake at all times and I don't recall ever seeing him line up on defense. Maybe I missed something.

I agree, hence my stupid remarks above.

Trying to give QB's a W/L record, is one of the dumbest things in sports.

QB gets most of the credit, and most of the blame, that I can understand, but not total fuging credit for W or a L.

(unless you have 6 turnovers in one game which is too rare of a case to be normal)

i agree that u cant give all the credit to a QB for a win. but at the same time even if he has 6 turnovers you cant blam him completely for a loss...unless u expected him to go and cover larry fitsgerald.

So you're saying that Jake Delhomme is at the same level as David Garrard, Damon Huard, Vince Young, and Brad Johnson?

Cool.

If you're going to make an argument, make one that doesn't put Jake in the same company as non-impressive QBs.

Thats true but the true comparison is the W-L record when Jake is the starter and when he isn't. I believe the Panthers need to upgrade the QB position but you can't say he isn't valuable compared to other QBs.

im not saying that...cause i took the time to look at the number of games they have started compared to the number that jake has started. and saw that he has maintained a very good winning percentage over a much longer period of time than they have. so looking at it like that ( which most would) jake is alot better than those "non-impressive QBs you stated

but what im trying to say is that i would rather have a qb that is the leader of a realy good team, than a pro bowl qb that is the leader of a realy bad team

    • With the exception of knowing our obvious needs and who we were talking to along the way, my question is this:  How did so many people start on this Jalon Walker frenzy?  I think this--everyone wants to have a voice, make a prediction.  Now with social media and 24 hour tv, networks, etc.  it is more like a middle school grapevine than it is a process where people actually dig for real evidence and reasons.  Speculative journalism is lazy, and since there are now 2,348.356 podcasters with basement studios blasting nonsense into our phones all day, I think they just cut and paste ideas.  Yes, coaches lie and mislead, but I don't think Morgan or Canales did.  You are only as reliable as your sources.  Was Morgan more deliberate this year?  I think he heard the gossip and decided to downplay WR.  He said, (paraphrasing) "We like our QB room.  We will probably add to it at some point."  Not a lie, but definitely downplaying things. I was convinced that we needed a blazer to keep safeties honest, but to be honest, I am not sure that we have the QB with the arm to keep safeties honest.  We have Coker who is 6'1", Theilen is 6'2", and Legette is 6'3" and now TMac is 6'4"+.  It seems size has more value than blazing deep speed.  If I had known they thought that, I might have gone with TMac all along--I thought he was not a good fit.  And if you look at the Panther guide and consider the talent they met with in the first round, there was only one offensive player--TMac. There was another quote that Morgan made that might have been a bit revealing or at least directive. (Paraphrasing) "We want players that were productive in college."  Well, TMac was very productive. In 2023 and in 2024, he averaged 108.8 yards per game.   He is also a great artist.  Drew this portrait of Bryce Young from memory: Many people spent 3 months absolutely confident that Jalon Walker would play edge here. We had a need at edge, but with Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones, were we OK if we drafted a second round Edge? Was Walker the answer?  Unlike Hunter, he is a versatile player who could be awesome in the right system, but if used as a pure edge, he is not a top 10 player.  I was convinced that we would sign Jalon and as much as I like the kid, I could not feel good about the pick.  Mykel Williams scared me.  Both might be great players, but I could not see it.  So was Scourton productive? He was as a Jr when he was standing.  When asked to be other things, he lost his edge (pun intended). In essence, I think we got the best pure edge when you take away the other things he was supposed to do.  Walker's productivity was based on his versatility--something he would lose as a pure edge--so we would not really be meeting needs at edge.  Scourton, on the other hand, is better when not asked to be versatile.  Princely had 10.5 sacks in the SEC.  It simply makes sense.
    • I think they will too. Renfrow will use this opportunity to get in shape and get paid for it. After he's cut he will probably get picked up by someone after preseason.
