Exactly 1 Year Ago...

retiring as a panther yes. Comingback in any other way shape or form NO.

I dunno... somehow I would feel better about this team with Jake on the roster.

I think he might just have another game or two left of "old Jake" if called on.

Poor Jake, he's becoming Elvis. Nobody wants to accept his departure.

I was at a local deli last night in Maryville, TN (20 miles from Knoxville), and saw a hilarious shirt. One of the ladies making sandwiches had a t-shirt on that reads, "GOT JAKE?" just above the pic of a football. The shirt was gray and the font was Panthers-blue. Then I saw the lady turn around, and caught the best part. On the back, the shirt said, "WE DO", and have a but "17" below that.

I couldn't help but laugh, because even when Jake was playing well for us, I don't think he was the true envy of any other team in the league. Maybe his leadership in the huddle? I was a Jake fan for a few years when we were winning, but I still would have laughed at a, "GOT JAKE?", "WE DO" shirt.

Those were big during the Super Bowl season. I remember seeing a ton of them around.
