Concerned about Jake as a quarterback?

Fortunately I don't have to have that responsibility. I don't want to comment on something that's outside my pay grade.

I thought that was interesting. Not exactly the "he's my guy!" type of comments you usually get.

I feel worse for him than anyone else in this whole situation. His incredible talent is wasting away on this team. Think about him if he was a Viking right now. A Colt. A Packer. A Steeler. He would be a sure-fire Hall of Famer by now. Instead, he's had to languish making a career bailing out Jake Delhomme and making morons that know nothing about football think that Jake is decent. He puts so much into what he does and deserves so much more than what this pitiful franchise is offering him.

tought spot for Steve. Steve really likes Jake and I think they have a good friendship. If Jake's career is falling apart...I don't think Steve wants to be one of those pointing it out.

[Rello]

Steve realizes Jake is finished and doesn't want to hurt his buddies feelings.

think the season is going to be disappointing...when smitty basically does a "no comment" (as that reply was) the team has lost confidence...just tired of people saying "his teammates think is awesome", but the reality is they draft for character and the type players they draft won't be honest when it comes to things like this, they will only say "what is correct"...

[MorgulKing]

I agree with the sentiments of other posters here--Smitty's stats (which I only care about to the extent that they get him into the Hall of Fame) would be a lot better on another team.

I'm afraid we might see him start to slip from his prime in the next couple years and I'd like to see us make the most his amazing career.

In truth I want him, Jake, Kasay, Fox and a host of others to get a super bowl ring together--they've done great things for this franchise. But I'm afraid Jake might not get back his edge and if that's the case we need to do something fast to take advantage of the talent that we have now (b/c it won't always be there).

matt moore should start week 2 but probably will not due to the panthers coaching staff and ownership thinking jake is our best option which is BS at this point..

Imagine a Drew Brees to Steve Smith combo? That would without a doubt be the best Qb to WR combo in the game today.

hopefully this isn't against the rules to post but the NFL has the video up

you can tell Smitty is having a hard time w/ his boy sucking up the joint. Smith won't call for a change.....he will probably always be tight w/ Jake. Smitty probably hopes the coaches do their jobs.

Steve didn't have a great game either, did anyone else notice the dropped passes?

[PantherBrew]

Brady to Moss is a pretty damn good one.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Steve has no right to say anything.

What did he do to help today?

Drop 4 passes?

Yeah, a real "friend" he was.

Don't get me wrong, Smitty is my favorite player, but after his performance today, he has no right to say antying about the performance of another player.

Steve Smith comments translated:

I love my boy jake, we go back a long ways, and I respect him. But if he keeps stinking it up like he did today, and in arizona, i'm sorry Jake, but we're going to need to get a new quarterback, no offense.
