If we get Luck, Bring Jake back..

[Wither]

So, he's such a good QB that he can mentor people now?

Oh yeah, you didn't see the awesome job he did with McCoy?

The best players aren't always the best coaches (and vice versa).

Jake could absolutely teach a young guy a lot. I have no doubt he's helped Colt McCoy prepare.

With all that said, I'm not in favor of the idea. I like Delhomme as much as anyone (why wouldn't you? he's a great guy) but realistically, I just don't see it.

Jake might make a pretty good broadcaster. He was always good on camera.

We're in no position to crack on McCoy :nonod:

His passer rating for the season to date is 93.0. Clausen's is 59.1.

Throw in that he's got two wins as a starter. Clausen just got his first yesterday, and it was against the Cardinals. McCoy's first win was the Saints. Heck, all but one of the losses he started were close games. Yes, the offensive style is different, but still...

i dont believe luck is the answer to our problems

How dare you question the healing powers of the almighty Luck? He who cures all football ails, who can will an opponent's 3 and out from the bench, who can throw 60 yards downfield and catch it hinself all while blocking a 350 lb DT.

Quick, someone ban this heretic before his lies spread to the masses!

[Anybodyhome]

Why half-ass it at all?

If you want to bring back a vet, just call Brett....

[KillerKat]

jesus f**king christ, let him go already

[AceMan]

jesus f**king christ, let him go already

^ This. Also, fug Delhomme

[Mvp2014]

aww that would suck to have to watch Jake take snaps again. What would he teach Luck or Clausen anyway? Jakes sucks and he always sucked, we just had a good run game and defense

[Jangler]

Jake will come back for one day and retire a Panther....happy? Cuz that's all yous are getting.

[chknwing]

Great idea, lets bring back Jake to teach Luck the Art of Tunnel Vision.

[jtnc]

Jake is a mediocre QB and now that he's aging he's horrible. Steve Smith made him look like Tom Brady.

[Kettle]

practice squad maybe, but that would be all.

[Baschski]

Don't know why everyone is so offended by this idea. We will bring a veteran QB in. It's not crazy to consider Jake a possibility.

Yes, and I am surprised so many people are in disagreement with this.

When we cut Jake, we still had to pay him his huge salary, and after we cut him we were left with Matt Moore and Hunter Cantwell. The Panthers didn't feel like Cantwell would amount to anything and cut him. Going into the draft the Panthers realized they needed a quarterback and Jimmy Clausen fell to them in the second round, so they drafted him. Then the Panthers shocked the world when they traded into the third and selected WR/QB/KR Armanti Edwards who has appeared in only two games this year. They selected Edwards with players like Mike Williams, Tony Moeaki, Navorro Bowman, and Trevard Lindley still on the board. Then as the NFL Draft progressed we hit the 6th round. Now keep in mind the Panthers have already drafted two players that can play quarterback (although one was drafted to play wide receiver), with that said the Panthers decided to take quarterback Tony Pike. The Panthers took Tony Pike when players like Cody Grimm, Dekoda Watson, J'Marcus Webb, and Jamar Chaney were still on the board. After the draft and the preseason games Hunter Cantwell was let go and our quarterback rotation looked like this...

1. Matt Moore

2. Jimmy Clausen

3. Tony Pike

4. Armanti Edwards (Emergency Use)

Through out the season, injuries and poor performances occurred which led to the signings of quarterback Keith Null and quarterback Brian St. Pierre. One quarterback has not played for the Panthers and probably never will and the other failed to perform in his only game.

Now we look at Jake Delhomme, Jake has always been a guy of character and class. One would think that Jake would have taken on the responsibility and mentored Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore through all of their struggles this year. Now the outcome may not have been different but at any time we could have said, ok Jake lets see if you have changed back into your old SUPER BOWL self. Instead we let him go, we had to pay out his contract and we lost to his Browns team and in turn also have a worse record than the Browns. Re-signing Jake Delhomme to mentor Clausen and possibly Luck would not waste a roster spot. Drafting Tony Pike and Armanti Edwards, then signing Brian St. Pierre and Keith Null waste's roster spots.

I would not have a problem bringing Delhomme back.
