Chickenwing- one play doesnt win or lose the game.

From 2003-2009 I cant find one year where Jake came within 1000yds of what Cam did this year. Likewise I cant find a defense to come with 1000 yds of how pathetic ours was this year.

Jake was a product of good defense and a solid running game. He was a game manager not a game changer. Just like The Golden Calf of Bristol. He was a product of a solid D and a solid running game (The Golden Calf of Bristol is worse than Jake). We remember Jake for his charisma and comebacks, but fail to see his comebacks are a product of Fox ball(just like The Golden Calf of Bristol)

He has a career QB rating of 80, and he deserves to have his jersey retired?

jake should have had the chance to retire a panther on his own terms. they should at least offer up the opportunity to do so. jake was great guy and left us with many great memories.

Cam is the best QB to ever put on a Panther jersey, and how one could argue, I understand. He was a great guy, and our longest tenured qb to date.

it aint all about the stats. its what they mean to the organization. he meant a lot to the team and fans. he was the best qb in this teams history. heck, sam mills only played 2-3 seasons for us and has a statue and name in the stadium. not all about stats.

I didn't like it then, either. It's also sort of rude to call Steven Davis a "lesser player."

I don't have this sentimental need to see my favorite players retire in front of a Carolina Panthers logo spread that others seem to.

What are you worried about? The salary cap hit? :sosp:

It's a nice gesture that teams like to do. Hardly worth pissing and moaning about.

Not rude......

Delhomme did more in Carolina than Davis or Beurelein.

Yeah the one day contract is a no-brainer. Let's show some class for a guy who always did the same.

He was an above average quarterback who was absolutely clutch in that Superbowl season.

Agree with most that retiring jerseys and statues should be for HOF type players.

Jake was and still is my favorite Panther of all time. To not offer him a 1-day contract would be absurd. While I do agree that he isn't worthy of a statue or his # being retired, he needs to be honored in some form because of what he did for the organization. There was absolutely nothing to not like about the guy - probably one of the classier Panthers to ever put on a uniform.

Would love to have him come back and coach as like an assistant qb coach or something.

How many running backs could've done what David did?

How many quarterbacks could've done what Delhomme did?

Well, let's see. In the first half of week one, we had Davis, but no Delhomme. How did that turn out?

For that matter, if you look back you'll find Davis missed two full games in the regular season. Delhomme none. We were 1-1 without Davis in the regular season. 2-0 without him in the playoffs. And if you check the Super Bowl stats, you'll find a heck of a lot more contribution from Delhomme than Davis.

And to be clear, I'm pretty sure you know you have no argument and you're just wanting to be a prick. I'm only indulging you because I'm bored :sosp:

(but this isn't exactly all that exciting either)

That didn't answer my question.

How many quarterbacks in 2003 could've done what Delhomme did? Better yet, how many quarterbacks could've done in a career what Delhomme did, since this is a question of his overall career?

Then ask the same questions of Davis. Who, I'm sure you know, was up for HoF nomination recently. Do you suppose Delhomme will be up for HoF nomination?

I'm also glad to see that one of the most respected posters on this board, who receives praise by the boatloads, has called me a prick for disagreeing with him. Under those new rules about personal attacks from half a year or so ago, I believe that qualifies as temporary banning material.

Davis had one year with us where he contributed. Delhomme had way more than that. His pre-Panther years mean something to the NFL, not to us.

And as I recall, you were one of the folks who complained when the new rules were implemented because one of your favorite ways to entertain yourself was to be an e-asshole and you were mad that they were taking that away from you.

Seeing as you said yourself that you enjoy acting like a jerk online, not like I'm suggesting anything you haven't already admitted. Couple that with the fact that giving a guy a one day contract so he can retire a Panther is a pretty stupid thing to argue about, and it makes it tough to take this debate seriously.

Hence, why I think you're trolling. And frankly, trolling bores me.

      Panthers Blueprint

      By frankw · Posted

      I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....

      I completely checked out on college football. Once the money grabs for TV deals killed the Pac 12 and gutted the Big 12, I was done. I really watch very little college football aside from checking out potential prospects pre-draft.
