I didn't even look at the link. I remember painfully. I remember sitting in front of the tv and crying while he said that because I felt exactly like he did. I think of it every season since, when I see the team reaching down for the extra push whether they win or lose. It's the effort I'm proud to see. And I wonder where the hell that feeling is when they don't reach for that extra push because I still have that terrible feeling and I expect them to also, even the rookies. Sometimes as a fan I feel so helpless. :o

Jake will always have a special place in the minds of us who have been around before 2003....

nothing wrong if you have been a fan since then, but knowing what we were before 2003 delivers a different persepective..

So true.

I'm 100% behind this team no matter what. No. Matter. What. :smile:

I agree with AK and GRW.

It seems that a few folks forgot what it was like in the pre-Delhomme era. He is such a competitor and always looks to improve his game. I support whatever the FO does whether I agree with it or not.

Are there any links to the Bojangles commercials?

We don't get to see them out here in Cali...

I completely and totally agree.

I may fuss and whine and complain when Jake throws a stupid interception, but if we're close in the fourth quarter, I don't want anyone else in there. *shrug*

I like the guy.

Um if the QB succeeds the Team succeeds.

Supporting him to play well = team success.

makes sense to me....

The coaching staff has kept Delhomme our starting QB... Therefore, I hope he does extremely well.

Name the weakest link on the team.

When not properly motivated, Julius Peppers.

If he's playing strong, the weakest link becomes the CB's. Gamble strives but Lucas was fading and Marshall still seems a little unsure of himself. Being named the starter should give him a boost of confidence that will help him play to his ability.

All that said, Jake is hardly the weakest player on this team, and doesn't even qualify as one of the weakest players in the league. Easily in the top half of the starters in terms of playing ability and in terms of leadership ability I'd put him in the top five.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      Sorta related.  I just looked up a stat:  Success rates for NFL draft's second rounders.  I was surprised that it is 49%.  The success rate for first rounders is 58%.   Here success does not mean those that did not bust, it means that roughly half of the players selected in the second round become full-time starters at some point in their careers.  Busts do that too.  However, considering the fact that a first round talent is worth up to 1800 points (first overall pick) more than the first pick of the second round and as low as 350 points (last pick in first round) higher than the last pick in round 2, it seems there could be cases in which it would be to your advantage to trade out of round 1 and draft two or three second rounders for the value.  Of course, the elite players are likely to be gone, and some positions overwhelmingly suck after round 1 (traditionally, like QB or LT, for example), but if you need to find starters at positions like DT, G, LB, S, C, TE, RB, etc, there could be a time when you trade back for more starters.  I was surprised that the margin between rounds 1 and 2 was only 9%.    While I realize that some of you sofa scholars are thinking, "Well duh?  Trading back gives you more players." as you wipe the Cheetos off your shirt.  Not the point.  The point is you have to consider the draft,the needs (and the number of them), and you need to scout the second and third rounds like you do the first, the cap, and the long-term impact.  If you can find 2 players with a 49% chance of becoming a starter, are you better off than drafting one player who has a 58% chance in the long term? So if I traded away my first rounder for two second rounders (a trade most teams would make) regularly, when I got 10 second rounders (by trading 5 first rounders), 5 would be starters.  If I did not trade and kept my 5 first rounders, 3 would be starters.  Furthermore, their rookie contracts would be much cheaper than the 5 first rounders.
