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?

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.

USAToday has a handy dandy salaries database for sports that is accurate through 2008.

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..........

She's always friendly when she stops by to see me...

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
