Alright fellas, I don't like what I'm seeing here. It's no secrete how much Jake means and meant to the FO but the logic of this is unreasonable. He blows the playoff game against the Cards and the FO reward him with a huge underserved contract. I kinda understood the contract to the tune of helping out the salary cap b/c of Franchising Pep that season, so that gave us a little room in which we needed b/c of the unforseen DT situation. But to top that off, Jake comes back with a terrible 18 Int through 11 games w/o ever being pulled. The FO was willing to throw the season away standing behind Jake. Was the injury real or not, I don't know, but Moore showed the world, more importantly, the fans that he can ball. Now we're on the hook to Jake for 12.7 mil. If i gotta pay him anyway, why cut him, this is a business! The FO loves Jake so much, they cut him so he would be free to sign wth a team of his choice knowing he already has 12.7 mil in his pocket. They've hurt the team to love Jake. There is something seriously wrong with that. Jake is/was a good QB, eventhough Smitty has made him look great at times, he's never been great. The business thing to do, would've been to keep him as a backup or trade him. That way you continue to bring value to your team though your contract mistakes. But they decided to hurt the team and show Jake their love. This ain't normal, this is Too Much Love For Jake! Whats going on that we don't know?

Nobody would have traded for him. Keeping him would have created an akward situation due to Jake's presence as a leader on team. They cut him because he stinks. They didn't do it to give him money. That's a big stretch of the imagination.

Like you said, it's a business. If you think the Panthers cut Jake just so he could sign with another team, I think you might be the one not thinking logically.

The Panthers have been unquestionably loyal to Jake, and that's exactly why they cut him -- to show Moore that he is their No. 1 guy, and to take away any temptation of starting Jake.

They did not sign to that contract as a reward. It was a necessary evil in order to get Julius' franchise tag worked in under the cap.
