Most Hated Panther ever: Jake Delhomme?

[rayzor]

soooo...to the OP...no. he is not the most hated.

are there those who think he should still be the QB? yes.

are there those who would like him gone? yes.

are there those who love what he has done for us in the past? yes.

are there those who don't care what he has done in the past but want to look ahead to someone else? yes.

are there those who just like his bojangles commercials? yes.

are all the above fans of the panthers? yes.

singularly focused but not singularly minded.

we all want what's best for our favorite team we just have different opinions about what that is.

nothing wrong with that. if you have a problem with it, get used to it or get over it or go somewhere else. it isn't going to change nor should it ever.

I will give you an example. When the Jets released Chad Pennington, New York was nothing but appreciative for what the guy did for their franchise. No one would say anything negative about Chad and all they said was how he was a class act and deserved better. They recognized how he came in and since he was the starter gave them a chance year in and year out.

It's funny about the "compassion" of the New York fans, because I'm pretty sure I remember Pennington getting booed in the Meadowlands when he got hurt in his last season...in fact, he was limping off the field so that they did not have to waste a timeout on his ankle/leg injury and got nothing but an earful of boos.

Yeah the way Jets fans treated Penny (They actually cheered while he was hurt, I saw and heard it for myself) was about as nice as the way the Jets treated him by letting him go to Cleveland with the team then cutting him and sending him home by himself on a plane. That is one of the single most unnecessary & vile things I have ever seen done to a guy who did nothing but act with class towards his team, the city and the fans. Ergo...they deserve Cutler and he, them.

First of all the reason the Jets cut Pennigton was because of how much they respected him. Instead of trading him into a situation where he didnt want to go and not have a chance to start, they released him and let him go wherever he wanted. They risked the chance of him signing within the division.

I dont think anybody would cheer if Jake got hurt at BOA. Jake played every game this year didnt he? Coming off a major operation Jake had a pretty good season. He is a QB, people everywhere dislike their QB. Im sure that even some idiot in Indy or NE dosent like Peyton or Tom.

Although I was at the game in New Orleans last season when David Carr got smoked and they had to put Matt Moore in. I was cheering with all the Saints fans becasue Carr was out. That being said, he came back in the 4th quarter and led us on a drive to the winning score.

[Fireball77]

They should have cut him before they left for Cleveland...that was the disgusting part, not cutting him itself. Why take him there and then cut him & send him home? Why not wait until they got back to cut him? It was vile.

Jets treated Pennington with respect???!!!! LOL!!!

Jets treated Pennington with respect???!!!! LOL!!!

I never liked Pennington either, he has a very similar arm to Jake. Both cant throw the deep ball. But I do think Pennington is a better qb then Jake, but I would not Pennington either. I just find them to be boring frnachise qb's.

[Vertical Asymtope]

Jets absolutly treated Pennington with respect. You read their fan forums, you listen to local radio shows, read the way he was talked about in the papers during the season, and talk to any Jets fan in the area, and you will realize everyone respected Pennington.

I don't think Jake is hated as much as fans are just so disappointed in him, and others. I like Jake, but I wholeheartedly agree that he has not improved mechanically one bit since he took over as starter in 2003. And it's in those mechanics that the team is underachieving.

That said, the most hated Panther that I can think of was Kevin Green in 1997. The anger he aroused was quite palpable. Even though he rejoined the team after that year, many fans (including myself) had no use for him. I don't think Sean Gilbert was beloved either.

Truer words never spoken...He's not gotten any better, can't read a defense, he has no pocket presence, over/under throws guys when they are open. It really bugs the hell out of me.
