I still believe in Jake...

Despite everything we've seen in the last two games, I've decided to continue to believe in Jake. Two bad games doesn't erase all the good things he's done over the years. Jake's a veteran and we know how much upside he has, so there's no reason to think he can't turn this thing around.

This team has enough talent to help compensate for Jake while he gets out of this funk. Remember the McNabb benching last year? McNabb wasn't taking care of the football, and got benched for it. It was a wakeup call for him and he came back as good as ever.

I'd imagine Jake will go into the game this week with the mindset that he will take care of the ball. This team is good enough that we really just need someone to manage the game under center. I'd hope the Panthers are designing a game plan this week to take some of the pressure off Jake and instead rely on the running game and the defense.

Anyhow, sorry for this rambling post but I think it's easy to lose perspective and assume all is lost after two bad games in a row. Anyone remember how bad the Giants looked in the beginning of the season when they ended up winning the SB?

Hang in there Panther nation...

I like Jake. He plays the game the way it should be played and will go down as one of my favorite Panthers of alltime. However, NFL seasons are short and it really doesn't matter how nice he is, what kind of leader he is, or how much coaches and teammates like him when he doesn't get it done on the field.

I feel like he has until the bye to prove to us that these last two games were a fluke. Even if we lose he needs to play much better or people will be gathering up their pitchforks and torches and heading to his house. I feel like he will play better and be more careful with his passes (which could be bad) and I don't think he will be spectacular this sunday but I do feel he will be efficient.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I call bullshit. Brady,Manning,Brees and Burrow are all just ball distributors. And the better thier supporting cast and more experience they got the better they got. Thier best attributes were between the ears.  Now I'm not saying Bryce is gonna turn into one of them but what I want is for him. Is to have a solid roster around him and some coaching continuity too see if he takes the next step. Because everything I've seen and read after the benching is that his mental toughness and workethic are what we need in a QB

      2024 Draft Picks

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Many criticize our picks in 2024. I believe that most of them were picked because their ceiling is better than those selected before them.  XLs needs to learn how to play in the NFL. Once he gets up to speed he'll be worthy of 32nd pick.  Brooks, showed why we took him in the few games he played. The ACL injury really sucks but he can overcome these setbacks. Remember TD had 3 ACLs and eventually will be in the ring of honor one day.  Wallace will be a solid LB going forward with experience  Sanders, TE is a tough position to play. He a getting valuable playing time and will become a good TE.  Going down the remaining draft pics all seem to have a good upside. They may not be showing much now but they will start showing their worth next season.

      I think he's shown enough that if a QB fell to us at our pick we'd either draft a defensive player or trade down for more picks.
