If this is the end for Jake...

...this is a sad way for him to go out. Fact is, he's done a lot of good here.

2003 & 2005 were great years, even though it fell apart in Seattle.

I guess I'm not as "ANGRY" as most of you all, because after the interception at 14-7 on the goal line, the game was as good as over with the way Arizona was moving the ball, especially after the Fitzgerald catch lit a fuse in them because the two Panthers were too STUPID to knock the ball away him after he bobbled it, so I found something else to do.

By the time I turned it back for an update, it was 27-7, so poof, good-bye for good football game.

Didn't see most of the debacle, but Jake had a decent career here, and did good coming off of the surgery.

He began his time with the Panthers as a hero after Rodney Pete came out, began it this season as a hero in San Diego, and then have it end with a game that was out of character for him for the playoffs?

I mean you have to feel for the guy, some. :leaving:

fug 'em. It's his job to succeed and he didn't. If we help pay him (buying tickets, merch., etc.) for a service and he fails, we have every right to want his head. I feel for him having it happen on his birthday, but I've wanted him gone for far too long now to feel bad that this happened to him.

I bet we don't even replace him or draft for a replacement... That's the part I'm going to be mad about.

I agree.. and a few others will also come around.. things are pretty tense right now, give it time. I say give the guy another chance... he shouldn't be defined, or judged, based on one horrible... hooooorrriiibbbllle game performance... the best quarterbacks have had worse games... lets see how he takes the loss.. and what he does in the off season... if he wants a job with this team next year.. he better work his cajun ass off for it

he's 34, he's not getting any better. no one asked him to go out and win the game for us. we just needed him to give us a chance. but i guess when your defense can't stop anyone the qb has to go out and try to win the game.

then again, if you'd stop turning the ball over, maybe the defense could stop someone.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
