Well i had a good run...I had this name since joining this forum in 2003. Through the SB run, NFC CHampionship run, a few mediocre seasons. Jake has been good too us, and let us not forget that in his decline and future departure from our team.

Now how do I change my name? Do I really need to create a new account?

Don't change it. Yes, Jake is horrible right now but that doesn't change what he accomplished in past seasons. You would never know it by the way I spoke to him through my TV screen yesturday but I still respect Delhomme and really hope that fans will remember him not based on 2009 but on his entire body of work.

Same thing with Fox. Delhomme will not be the last pro bowl player to decline while playing in Carolina and Fox will not the only great coach to get fired. Keep the name, wear it with pride and curse Jake's name in every post until the end of the season.

Well, there's a few ways to handle this.

You can wait until we clinch a top 3 pick in the draft. In a hail of nerd-scorned fury over the fact that the 49ers get our pick, the server will undoubtedly crash and you can start over fresh with a new name.

You could use your description under your name to indicate that your opinions have changed, and state who IS CURRENTLY "the man."

Personally, I'd just nut up and live with it. It's a throwback to the days when the Panthers were a contender and Delhomme was "the man." It's an antique, it memorabilia, it's a nostalgia piece. Just like I won't throw away my Delhomme jersey. He may not be "the man" on the field anymore, but he is still the man. He got us to a Super Bowl and an NFC championship. He still has a top 10 win percentage. He should never take another snap in his life, but during his hey-day he was the best thing to happen to this franchise in a long time. Just because he has struggled mightily and is killing us presently, don't just go out and destroy any proof that he ever existed and was special to us. You can't revise history.

Don't be an iconoclast. Keep the name.
