I watch pretty much every game in the NFL and let’s be honest, the Panthers let one slip away first week against Seattle at home and then against Arizona in Arizona.

Cam, he’s playing so within himself. That’s when he’s so darned good, because he’s passing the ball well, but he’s running it when he has those opportunities… I think it’s fantastic.

Good stuff.

Man, I love Jake.  He was a good football player but he was a great and passionate leader.  I still remember him pointing and talking trash after throwing that bomb to Moose during the Superbowl.  Loved his fire.

 

real talk. hope he gets a warm welcome on Sunday. I know I will be standing for him.

Jake is forever a Panther.

I have been a little sad when some guys leave, like Beason recently.

But I damn near went to tears when we cut Jake even though I knew he was done and it was time.

Him and Sam Mills are probably my two favorite all time Panthers

Jake to Ricky with 16 seconds left to beat the Jags in Jake's first start and I was there.

 

Under 2 minutes in 2003 the Bucs score to take the lead.  I was at the game and I've never been so crushed by a football game.  I slumped in my seat and felt like crying.  It was over.  But Jake Delhomme still had a minute left to drive the length of the field.  He hit a different receiver on almost every throw and hit Smith on a slant in the red zone to win the game.  I almost passed out I was so excited.  

 

Delhomme is my favorite all time Panther because he's given me some of the best Panther memories.  Thanks Jake.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
