Clearly our two weak links. Yes Jake is an emotional leader and his job is to not make mistakes and hand the ball off w/o problems.

That said Jake is on notice IMO. Stop the BS and get the job done efficiently like you've done before.

Lucas? He should be fired IMMEDIATELY!! Horrible, just embarrassing.

I don't think this is a superbowl team, although anything is possible.

Next year. start thinking Jake replacement, pay whatever Pep wants and get Marshall more involved (thank god we got Gamble locked down).

If we get rid of Jake let's pray for one of those once in a lifetime players. That's the only way we improve at that position in a short period of time. Thats something many people dont understand. We'd need one of those 1 or twice in a lifetime players at the QB position to match and beat Jake's poise and talent level. He's a solid player who is criticized to the fullest.

I agree. Jake just needs to get it through his head that he doesn't need to force things, because we have a lot of talent on offense now.

relax guys - Lucas has been solid all year. He had a bad game. I think he won't have another in the regular season or postseason. He is a good player guys. Bad game. It happens.

GO Panthers!!!!

The secondary has been off since the Detroit game. It isn't just one game.

Doood! Did you see him in Green Bay??

He's really looking bad. Let's hope that gets corrected but if it doesn't that man needs to go!

i agree about Lucas. He looked lost and out classed. Richard Marshall made some big mistakes too.

the panthers do need to start thinking about a serious upgrade at QB. Obviously Jake should continue as our QB through this year, but he's wearing down and I'm not so confident in that elbow anymore. Even his completed passes seem either behind players or to be sailing too high.

I don't think the elbow is the problem. His passes have never been on the mark. That said, he makes more big plays than mistakes most of the time and replacing him would be dangerous.

Jake has had a bunch of flukey interceptions this year... most can't really be blamed on him.

I wouldn't go that far. He hardly ever puts the ball right on the money, which increases the likelihood of interceptions. Some of the tipped ints have been because of overthrows, and passes thrown behind receivers. I love Jake as our QB but I'm not going to absolve him of his mistakes.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
