If releasing Jake would allow us to keep Gross and Peppers, and maybe get a few key signings with role players (also maybe release Lucas) etc would you be for that and be OK with letting McCown and Moore battle for the role? Honestly, we just need a manager and some passes to Steve Smith, the run game with our o-line back should be good, that is if we get a defense back together that doesn't suck.

I bet steve smith would punch you in the face :D

Ha, maybe, although after Saturday, I don't know for sure.

It's just a question though, if we can keep our O-line and Peppers, then work on the rest of our game, all we need is a manager, someone that doesn't make mistakes and can hit some passes when we need him too. We need to be like Arizona, play to our strengths. It all lands on the shoulders of the defense though.

Not sure if the phrase is correct but.

Do a small evil for a greater good.

I've grown to like jake since he came here. I'm "attached". But to keep our O-line in tact and Keep Pep. Then no contest. Release him. With our oline gel'd and or RB's at the top of their game any QB in our system will look good. I love Jakes fire and intensity but i'd rather have our oline and pep. I've played team sports in HS and College. I was in the army. As soon as you think the world is going to end cause you're loseing a great team leader someone is brought in our steps up from in-house.

I don't want Jake gone. I thought it took CLASS to step up and admit that he played like crap and should be blamed for the lose. Whether he deserves that or not is up for all of us to debate. I'd ask him to restructure his contract with performace bonus or something like that. If that didn't work out well the situation was specifically Jake or Gross/Pep then good-bye and good luck somewhere else jake.

This is a no brainer. Hell yeah Id let Jake go if I could keep my starting LT and DE. At this point Jake only has 1 value to this team and thats getting the ball to Steve Smith. Outside of that everything else he does well is an "intangible" that most starting QBs on good teams have. "He's a leader", "he's fiery", "his teammates look to him" are common themes you hear when describing Jake. Fact is, Jake had 6 years to get it done, and this year had his best offensive unit of his career and still could not do it. Time for someone else to get a chance as our leader.

      Snow in the high country

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
