Ok, ok...I'm tired too of all the mud flying around. To Jake or not to Jake...

I lean toward the latter and I want you to think about a "dumb" reason as to why. Panthers.com. Poll: What is the Panthers Biggest Need in the NFL Draft? Survey Says! OB!

So what? Who cares? A true fan knows that's sophomoric at best...

Not really. The majority of fans are the ones spending the majority of the money. Tickets, 8 dollar beers, jerseys, rolaids, the list goes on and on.

A team's anchor is it's QB, so why settle for mediocrity simply as a matter of circumstance? I've read some well thought out arguments as to why we keep Col. Chicken, but I just can't get onboard. The damage is done.

Would you rather see our team roll the dice and lose?

*or*

Would you rather see another lackluster performance from our very own #17?

I would roll the dice, but what do I know...

Pretty much forced to stick with the overpaid 34 year old QB with a lack of touch on his arm. He's costing too much against the cap to not allow him to start. Might be better options even in the draft... but he's tied to Carolina's leg for yet another year. I like Jake though, least if he's in as QB.. I can write the Panthers off the list of Super Bowl contenders...

Who are we going to get to replace him???

Pat white???

Jake is not the worst Qb in the league, he is not the best, but a lot of teams would like to have that stability at their QB position.

So just get ready to enjoy another seaon of No.17 running the show. Handing off to 34 and 28 and passing to 89,87 and 80

What the hell is this "roll the dice" garbage? Football isn't a game of craps. You're not going to "hit it big" and have some scrub QB turn into Peyton Manning overnight.

And the anchor of our offense isn't the QB. It's the OLine. Win the game in the trenches.

I knew someone was going to bring that up. Brady wasn't an MVP QB, he was developed into one under a system and organization that does it better than anyone. NE didn't "roll the dice" and "hit it big". It was not luck. Notice what they did with Cassel as well.

      ESPN's Barnwell Early Offseason Grades

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers

      How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.

      I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
