Just tell the truth about Jake...you don't love him


top dawg

Recommended Posts

One thing that I have noticed about this board: You have plenty of people pounding their chests about how they love Jake, and he's the best for our team, and gleefully proclaiming, "I told you he was our guy," and blah blah blah blah blah.

There have been no great surprises during this off season---not one. Hurney, Fox, Pep, Jake, Gross, etc. have pretty much played their parts to perfection. One of the easiest realizations to come to, was(is) that barring an act of God, Jake's going to be the starting QB for the Carolina Panthers this coming August.

Now, some of you just go on and on about how Jake is the best thing that ever put on a Panthers uniform. I realize that some of you might just really believe that. But, others are just joining the bandwagon because they want to appear as though they have some great insights, and/or are cheesing while sipping the Jake Koolaid and reprimanding others for being negative if they dare bring up a scenario that doesn't include Jake Delhomme under center at BOA in the summer.

Stop shoveling, and admit the fact that you don't love Jake, you only just accept the fact (which is arguably the more rational choice as opposed to "whining" about it) that Jake is our guy, simply because there are no apparent better options. You desire the next Peyton Manning like all of us. You only accept Jake because it's what you have to do. You only accept Jake because there aren't any other better options. Yeah, you might not think that he sucks, but you aren't in love with him either.

Stop pretending.

Jake is great because of what he brings to the team. He's a true gunslinger and sometimes that will get him into trouble, but more times then not he's been there for this team and won his fair share of games. He's unquestionably the leader of the team. Really what more do you want your starting QB to do then win games, which he does more often then not with his late game heroics.

I want my starting QB to get a ring for J-Rich while he can still enjoy it. I want my starting QB to bring a championship to the Carolinas. I want my starting QB to maximize the talent that he has around him, particularly when that talent is Super Bowl Talent.

I have been a Jake hater, a Jake "appreciator," a Jake lover, and varying people in between. Believe it or not, I wrote a whole thread about how I had grown to love the man (which probably disappeared when the site got hacked).

The emotional roller coaster ride sucks, quite honestly.

I respect Jake, and his appreciation for where he is. He really does love the game.

I do not like the fact that we have not had any QB's that we have drafted stick with the team, or gotten better and challenged Jake for the starting position.

We don't have to have a top 5 QB to be successful, but it sure would help sometimes.

This pretty much sums it up for me. While I would love the organization to at least "appear" more proactive in finding Jake's heir apparent (and who knows, he may be on the roster), I do realize that he is the best option for the team right now.

As people have already mentioned, I love the guy's intangibles. But intangibles don't always cut it.

That didn't come out right. Perhaps it's a technical Freudian slip. Your feelings are confused. You have mixed emotions.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
