That was the point bud...

They had all missed games, probably evened itself out and he had more wins that the other five. Pretty simiple stuff really.

Well no poo. I said that didn't I?

Unless you're talking about Culpepper and Pennington both of which have missed many more games due to injury since '03 than Jake has.

Honestly I would have to agree. Hopefully he wasnt fully recovered from surgery last year and will be better. I hope that his contract is set up with starting pay this year and next then backup pay the rest of the years.

You do realize that you are agreeing with a so-called BDJS right? :P

My thought has been to draft a guy higher next year and sit him for a year or two behind Jake (or Moore or McCown) but it depends on how things go this season. I'm not big on drafting a QB in round 1 when your team sucks.

But you dont bench your starting QB!

Hoepfully they will still have a QB competion this year in TC.

I don't think that's a hard and fast rule, I think it depends on the situation. For example, I wouldn't have benched McNabb when Reid did just knowing what I know which albeit isn't everything. Reason being, he's the starter and will be for the forseeable future. With Young, he's a first rounder with maturity issues and since he's still likely going to be the starter there I think it was a needed wake up call. It's similar to what Wisenhunt did with Leinart and Warner.

I don't think there should be a competition now because it would look like a bit of a sham, nor do I think it is that warranted this year. Next year, possibly, again depending on how the season goes.

5 years, $42+ Mil a Year, $20 Mil guaranteed

1. It's nice to be Jake Delhomme with a HUGE contract, the Panthers in CAP HE!!, and no better option than you available! You KNOW Carolina is going to come ask for an extension, which means you slightly have their 'assets' in a vice! "Smith, ask for $20 Mil in guaranteed because I KNOW that's all I can count on!"

2. "Smith, ask for $20 Mil in guaranteed because I KNOW that's all I can count on!" (Great Transition, huh?) A 'very complicated contract', IMO, means incentives, conditions, and lawyer verbiage that even Jake can translate to mean he will never see ALL that money and the end of that 5-year contract! He gets his $20 Mil guaranteed up front, a generous 'appreciative' sum for helping the Panthers out of a CAP problem!

3. He ain't that Bad. Although you are only as good as your last outing / perfirmance - which for Jake was a nightmarish melt-down - he ain't that bad. We did make it 12-4 last year with him, and those 4 were the ones against teams with real winning /impressive records. You can say he didn't win them all himself, but he didn't lose them - or those other 4 - by himself, either. He ain't that bad for 1 more season (which is all I expect him to remain on the team). Besides, would you have rathered they didn't extend and he stay the starter for another year at $11 Mil a game and not had any cash to sign our draft picks, OR would you rather have extended him, pay him $8 Mil, and have CAP room? Look at it THAT way, and ....this extension ain't that bad!

you should. it's really funny.

the hate is actually pretty creative this time.

Good god, I just came back to page 8, where I had posted the first time, but now it's up to page 15? I better start reading this thread or it'll be 50 pages before I even start. I want to see the hatred AND the homerism!

Off I go!

Only question I have is what do we do when he stinks it up this upcoming season? Is the Rodney Peete deal completely out of the question now? We stick with him even when he's playing terrible? If so, we wouldn't be going far next year. Teams would know we would be running most of the time. All they have to do is double Smitty and stack the box. And with our upcoming schedule, there are teams we will play that can pull that off successfully. Hard to be optimistic.

The FO must have looked at the poll on thier own website regarding team needs, and thought to themselves hmmm....how can kick our own fans when they are down.

Cap move.. bla bla FUGGIN bla !

Lose a playoff game with best squad we have had in years and get 20 million....thats fuggin brilliant. What the f*ck is wrong with them !!!!!????????

First will be the boos...then people will be chanting for Hurney to go like they the fans did in Detriot with Mcmillian. The Jake lovers....take your laughs,,,,why you are proud of mediocrity is beyond me.

We are the tax payers for this team. We pay for the seats, beer, parking, buy thier jerseys ( not jakes!) and watch them on TV. You really fugged up not getting Cutler and to make it worse to give 20 million to a QB the city wants out!!! It doesnt matter if Jake wont play for the whole deal...he still gets 20 million and he doesnt deserve it. :mad5::mad5::mad5::mad5:::banghead::banghead::banghead::beatdeadhorse5:

If we didn't pull him during his massive choke in the playoffs, he'd need to actually die on the field to pull him for anything beyond this point, regardless of how much we're overpaying him.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I would say the extremes from both camps in these conversations have to do with the blurring of the fact Bryce is a first overall pick and the expectations for that draft slot fair or not far exceed just being a top 20-25 starter amongst your peers. Regardless. All logical Panthers fans want him to be the answer.

      The offseason is always when hope springs eternal. If you look past that, you can see a very bad roster with a lot more questions than definitive answers. Let's hope we get a lot of those right, because I think we are a lot closer to another impatient Tepper reset than we probably think.

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
