Flacco looks good.

Just think we passed him up in the draft last year. I hear from you guys that they is no quarterbacks out there to replace Jake. There went 1. Oh yeah we passed on Quinn in a previous draft too. I could prolly sit and think of other qb's we passed on. If great receivers makes quarterbacks look medicore. Just think what our great receivers would do with a medicore quarterback that will protect the ball. I feel as if John Fox has same issues like Lovie Smith a few years ago. We are 10 and 4 and Jake is our quarterback crap. I love carolina but Jake isnt our answer.

Yet we passed him for the Panthers starting RT and RB who helped produce the best Running Back tandem (or one of them) in the NFL.

And our running back tandem was what in the playoffs? Not crap. We had to drop the run and go to the air when we got tied up in the first quarter.

And you label our Running Back tandem on a game that was poorly coached? If the Panthers had stayed with the run and not freaked out and started throwing, it could be a very different vibe around here.

If a bullfrog had wings, he wouldnt bump his a$$. If we had a quarterback we may have made it further in the playoffs.

I'm not downing our runningbacks. I think Williams is as exciting to watch as Petterson. My most memorable moment of our rookie Stewart last year was when he ran out of gas in the open field just short of the goal line.

it was a cramp, didn't run out of gas, if your talking bout the GB game of course. i just think people bash Jake too much, and your labeling him on one game, which turned out to be one really bad game.

I am speaking about one game? Jake has had 71 interceptions in 6 years with the panthers and only playing 3 games 2 years ago. I am talking about his career as a panther. Bash him? Yeah i WILL because he WILL NEVER get us a superbowl win. If anything he will only cost us. Oh yeah, He already did and will continue to do so!

List of quarterbacks that we could have had over Delhomme if we had ever looked to go in another direction:

Trent Edwards

Chad Pennington

Matt Cassel

Brett Favre

Michael Vick

Joe Flacco

Brady Quinn

Matt Schaub

Jay Cutler

Jason Campbell

Aaron Rodgers

Drew Brees

Kurt Warner

All of these quarterbacks are either better or about as good as Jake is only much younger that teams have either signed, drafted, or traded for since Jake Delhomme became our starting quarterback.

What if we didn't even make the playoffs? You don't know , we don't know.

With Jake as our quarterback and as interception prong as he has been over his career. It wouldnt have surprised me if we had not made the playoffs. I blame him for 3 of our 4 losses in the regular season.

    • I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.
    • To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.    
    • 1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
