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.

      After Graham, next best Dline players

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Current draft order NYG, NE, JAX, TN, CLE, LV, CAR. We need to ask ourselves "what is the biggest need of those teams heading into the draft"? And, "What positions do we know are not major needs for the teams above?" JAX is terrible, but we know they won't be drafting a QB. The Patriots won't be either. The Raiders and Giants definitely need a QB. The Browns have one under contract, but he's been terrible since they signed him. I could see all 3 of them eyeing QB's. Hunter is a wild card. He could be the first player taken. Or, he could slip because some teams may not want to deal with his insistence on playing both ways. A team with a bad O-line may want to go LT TMAC is going to appeal to a team that needs a playmaker at WR. If CB is major need, I could see Will Thomas (or Hunter) coming off the board prior to our selection at #7. It's possible that Graham could fall into our laps. Then again we haven't factored FA into the equation. A lot of these teams will lure some players just because of the large amount of dollars they afford to play them and fix some needs before the draft. It's going to be an interesting off-season.

      PFF: grading WR by ability to separate, YAC and catching the ball

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Sure, but despite being targeted less, he has more TDs than Odunze and more y/r than Nabers (and same number of TDs).  He's got a very similar y/r as Worthy.  He isn't stacking up that poorly to other WRs, but he has trailed off late - something that imo may indicate injury or needing to improve conditioning. He's not ever gonna be the best WR in this draft class, but he'll be in the top 3-5 with a bit of improvement imo.

      Oh for sure. With Rod it’s never the defenses fault. I think someone posted this in Reddit a while back. Rod with the forwards. Rod with the defense.
