how about all his crap we had to put up with?

Jake getting the sentimental vote is laughable to me. He would not start for any other team.

There are many teams he would start for, so the statement has no validity other than picking on a newbie. There are not many good QBs in the NFL. I've said many times he's a middle of the road QB, but that's all we need and a middle of the road QB will be wanted by a lot of teams if we don't want him. Can I see him getting us to a Super Bowl, well yes, yes I can. Can I see him helping us win a Super Bowl, well yes, yes I can. Let's let it roll and see where it goes. We can look for a franchiser next year...

I Disagree Jake may not be the best qb in the league but its not a qb in the league I would rather have in the 4th quarter with the game on the line than Jake He is Money in the 4th quarter when it counts.

I think Smith, Muhammad, and Coach Fox deserve a superbowl ring the most.

EDIT:

And JR of course

I agree they all deserves a ring I'm just saying I hope jake is our qb when we win our first.

Wow. I get upset with Jake too but he does deserve to win a Ring. It's not like he doesn't put his heart into it everytiime he steps on the field. Just because he's not a top 10 QB doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it. What other QB do we have that deserves to win a ring with us? McCown? Moore? :smilielol5:

hey I'm willin' to roll with it. I support him. He is the choice. It's not up to me. This thread was about him being some sort of sentimental favorite and almost earning a ring as some right of passage or something and I strongly disagree. He is a long way from NFL players..even on this team..that can be considered as deserving of a ring or paid their dues. Why it matters that he gets us there is pure snuggling and nothing more. I obviously do not like that and don't like jackasses like Planiversal thinking they are allowed to pass judgement of fandom based on my statements.

I am not pulling against him, I just think it's silly to pull for him like some victim underdog when he has had some of the best rosters in the league over his career (not every year) to hide behind and hasn't even got any better as a QB then when he first took the field in 2003. He still doesn't get rid of the ball, has no pocket awareness, can't hit the intermiediate route, can't read a defense, can't help himself from heaving into double coverage, and takes too many risks. Just like some damn rookie. His mouth and his presence is the only thing he has going for him and to me its about time he started backing it up. Sure he has had some good games. I'm not taking anything away but NOTHING about Jake Delhomme being the QB makes winning a SB any sweeter (unless you are a snuggler)

I also cannot think of one other team that Jake would earn the starting spot even if given a full year from today with that team.

Respectfully, I disagree.

I did not say he did NOT deserve it at all. What thread are you reading? I said he has not earned it at the level where the consensus of fans, ours and others things he has paid his dues. You reserve comments like that for players like Jerome Bettis not Jake freakn Delhomme.

Respectfully, you may disagree, we've always been at odds, but we've learned to respect each other and that hasn't changed. I'm fine with you pulling for him without pulling for him, (did that make sense?), not a problem. I am just hoping he gets that ring. Not for him, but if he does it, it gets us a Lombardi. On the other hand, a QB ranked at anywhere from 12 to 18 has several teams that would give their eye teeth to get a QB like Delhomme, that's not really debatable. If it is, please correct me...

Well, maybe it is if you want to ignore ratings etc...

I understand where you are going with the ratings I really do. It would seem that if some QB rating or passer rating put someone in the middle of the pack that most of the teams ranked below them would jump on him if given the opportunity. I do disagree and cannot think of one where he may have a shot to unseat the starter or backup currently. Jake has some chemistry with the team and (I think) photos of Hurney or Fox (or both) in a precarious situation. I am going to start another thread and see if we can get some good suggestions. I said that off the cuff a bit an now am intrigued to see an argument including receiving corps, current depth chart, and offensive scheme that provides a potential soft seat for Jake Delhomme and his "unique" set of QB skills.

If anyone deserves it, it is John Kasay for staying with this organization for 14 out of his 19 NFL years (and also to get that bad memory of kicking the ball out of bounds in the Super Bowl) Moose also deserves a ring for coming back to the place where he started his career spending 10 of his 14 NFL years with the Panthers. These two deserve it the most.

Also others would include Jake Delhomme, Brad Hoover, Steve Smith, Jordan Gross, and Na'il Diggs

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
