Delhomme has new deal

[Udogg]

Anyone remember the great year Jake had his 1st season with the Panthers? He was already under contract at the end of that season, but instead of waiting a full 2 seasons, or even half way into his next season, to see if the 1st year was an 'abberation', the Panthers gave a huge Extension to a new 1st-year Panthers QB.

Anyone remember what the Panthers, led by Jake, did the next season? They $ucked, and his numbers were ugly.

You mean where he damned near threw for 4000 yds and 29/15 touchdown/int? As compared to 3200 yds 19/16 the first year as a starter. You are absolutely right.:crazy: Yes that was sarcasm.

In my best Sam Kinnison voice from Back to School......Is he right?.......Is he right?

hadn't thought of that guy in a long time.

a lot of what has been going on in this thread reminds me of most of this routine..

Ok, new day on the Huddle. This has all turned out to be a big practical joke by Hurney right?

yah...you've been punk'd

seriously...contract details should be out sometime today. i still think that it is going to be heavily incentive based with escalators in place if he stays healthy, gets us to the playoffs and further, goes to the probowl...yadda yadda.

the emphasis put on it being a complicated contract and jake being a team player and just wanting to retire as a panther just make it pretty likely, imo.

we know that $20mil is guaranteed...how that other half of the contract is laid out is the big determiner of if this was a good deal or not. well, that and the amount of cap space it leaves us with this year.

I'm interested in checking out the details of how much he'll be making annually because there's a very good chance that with that kind of contract that he'll be making more in base salary than Tom Brady will be. Brady's base pay this season is only $5 million with a $3 million roster bonus and next season it's only going to be $3.5 million with another $3 million roster bonus.

Base pay has little to do with how you are being compensated and is the the part of the salary that is not guaranteed. So to assume that a lower base salary is a good thing is completely opposite of the truth. I would much prefer that a player get a 1 million dollar signing bonus and 12 million in salary for the next 5 years for example than receive 20 million as a signing bonus and 4 million as a base salary. If you cut a player, his base salary for that year and subseuquent years go away. If there is remaining guaranteed money, it accerlerates and has to be paid right away.

Plus this is a 5 year contract which will be Jake's last and he will likely not see much of that money due in the last 2 years. Anyone think Brady's next contract won't be blinding??

In the end, if Brady counts 12 miliion against the cap this year

brady's base pay last year was $5mil but his total salary was over $8mil and the cap hit was over $14mil.

Jake has had some pretty good numbers over the years; don't get me wrong, he does worry the hell out me at times; I still think they need to look at some QB's in the draft like Brian Hoyer from Michigan State!

Man f*ck, another year or more with Joke Delhomme as our qb. I don't give a sh*t what anybody says he is NOT THE ANSWER. But what do I know this organization pisses me off sometime, sorta like a irritating wife..........

Yeah, it sucks, all the comical fantrums have stopped.

Yeah, it sucks, all the comical fantrums have stopped.

They'll pick up again.
