He almost fumbled a snap and then couldn't even hand it off to Stewart at the goal line without almost fumbling the ball. The next play, he riffles it to Williams causing the ball to go in the air. And he complains when we don't throw it haha. We don't throw it cause you suck balls Jake.

That pass to Williams had too much mustard on it. He was 5 yards away and Jake just riffled it. You can try to debate that if you want. The main point here is Jake possibly cost us a touchdown because of his fumble trying to hand it off to Stewart at the goaline. Then after that, who knows if the outcome would be the same or not.

Garbage post. We lose and you blame it on a fumble that didn't happen. Nevermind the fumbles that DID happen, the passes that weren't caught, and the suspect play calling. No. Those couldn't possibly be the reasons for the loss. It had to be the fumble that didn't happen. Props to you for such wisdom.

One fumbled snap that wasnt even turned over, is not a remotley good barameter on how Delhomme played. Who knows if stweart even wouldve gone in.

And yeah ,that was a little to much power in the throw, but it was not a near impossible catch. Williams need to make it. Rarley are you ever going to get a perfect throw.

Jarret also couldve been huge by catching that nice deep ball. Instead in went right through his hands. Jake has been a liabliltiy, but not in this games.

Its obvious that the play calling was protecting Jake. It's a wonder we were able to run the ball like we did with no passing game. Speaks volumes of our offensive line and running backs. If we had a QB that defenses would at least respect then we would have stomped on the Saints today. They had no business winning this game. Biggest bullshit loss of the season folks. We protected Jake because we we're scared to pass. Why? Because Jake has been ******* it up. Yea you can say our WR made some drops and Jake had no picks, but how many times did we just bullshit on 2nd down and run up the middle for 1 to 0 yds? Too fuging many, that's how many. And why? Because of Jake.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.

      I appreciate the measured tone, truly. Hopefully we're at a point where we can dive a little deeper into the discussion. The observation about his footwork is fair in theory, but I'd also counter with 6'1" Brock Purdy recently admitting that he can't see his target on 40% of his throws due to the linemen in front of him. He just inked a massive deal, and while a lot of fans are understandably wondering what he's going to do with reduced weapons, "not seeing over the line" just doesn't seem to be that big of a disqualifier with his understanding of timing, leverage, and pre-snap reads (Aaron Rodgers is 6'2"... bet he's dealt with the same). Bryce is likely dealing with similar challenges due to his size, but it clearly doesn't mean it can't be managed at a high level. Also, I'm not convinced that "prototypical footwork" should be the end goal for a QB that isn't built like the prototype. What matters more is timing and rhythm with his receivers... which, as we've both noted, has been evolving as the WR room flips from vet stopgaps to rookies. He will need to improve there. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is the impact that footwork is having on his ability to process and execute. The earlier suggestion that he's “hopping around” to see the field implies a frantic or panicked visual search, which just isn’t something we’ve seen reflected in either the film or any reliable breakdown. If it were as exaggerated as described, it would’ve become a meme-worthy moment (or at least been on SportsCenter's Not Top 10). Instead, we've seen a QB who, like many young passers, occasionally loses platform stability under pressure. That is something that's common and correctable, and again, not something that shows up with enough frequency to suggest it's an endemic flaw. It’s worth continuing to track, but to argue it's a defining issue requires stronger proof than anecdote. As for the "investments" made in the offense after drafting Bryce, I think that might be stretched a bit. Yes, we've used back-to-back firsts on WRs and signed guards to big contracts. But beyond that? Mingo (2nd) and Diontae (FA) are gone. Zavala (4th) was the worst-rated OL in the league his rookie year Sanders (4th) and Evans (5th) are mid-round TEs. Tremble was given a small contract extension but is said here to be at best a blocking TE2. Jimmy Horn Jr (6th) and Coker (UDFA) are the other WR investments Corbett + BC got one-year deals coming off of injury Cade Mays was tendered, but he was cut to start last season That's not some overwhelming infusion of elite talent. It's better, sure... but acting like it's some embarrassment of riches feels overstated. Expecting instant chemistry and impact from rookies and second-year guys while simultaneously mocking the idea of contending this year also feels a little... off? So far, what I've heard as your criteria boils down to red zone efficiency and intermediate passing to the sidelines? You mentioned moving the ball inside the 20s... I'd recommend 3rd down conversion rate, big-time throws, and turnover-worthy plays. For red zone play specifically, we could look at turnovers inside the 20. Incompletions in the red zone as well as intermediate sideline incompletions could provide an interesting starting point for film study. Hell, any of these would give us a more objective framework to work from if you're open to using them. Do any of them work for you?
