Just tell the truth about Jake...you don't love him

One thing that I have noticed about this board: You have plenty of people pounding their chests about how they love Jake, and he's the best for our team, and gleefully proclaiming, "I told you he was our guy," and blah blah blah blah blah.

There have been no great surprises during this off season---not one. Hurney, Fox, Pep, Jake, Gross, etc. have pretty much played their parts to perfection. One of the easiest realizations to come to, was(is) that barring an act of God, Jake's going to be the starting QB for the Carolina Panthers this coming August.

Now, some of you just go on and on about how Jake is the best thing that ever put on a Panthers uniform. I realize that some of you might just really believe that. But, others are just joining the bandwagon because they want to appear as though they have some great insights, and/or are cheesing while sipping the Jake Koolaid and reprimanding others for being negative if they dare bring up a scenario that doesn't include Jake Delhomme under center at BOA in the summer.

Stop shoveling, and admit the fact that you don't love Jake, you only just accept the fact (which is arguably the more rational choice as opposed to "whining" about it) that Jake is our guy, simply because there are no apparent better options. You desire the next Peyton Manning like all of us. You only accept Jake because it's what you have to do. You only accept Jake because there aren't any other better options. Yeah, you might not think that he sucks, but you aren't in love with him either.

Stop pretending.

Jake is great because of what he brings to the team. He's a true gunslinger and sometimes that will get him into trouble, but more times then not he's been there for this team and won his fair share of games. He's unquestionably the leader of the team. Really what more do you want your starting QB to do then win games, which he does more often then not with his late game heroics.

I want my starting QB to get a ring for J-Rich while he can still enjoy it. I want my starting QB to bring a championship to the Carolinas. I want my starting QB to maximize the talent that he has around him, particularly when that talent is Super Bowl Talent.

I have been a Jake hater, a Jake "appreciator," a Jake lover, and varying people in between. Believe it or not, I wrote a whole thread about how I had grown to love the man (which probably disappeared when the site got hacked).

The emotional roller coaster ride sucks, quite honestly.

I respect Jake, and his appreciation for where he is. He really does love the game.

I do not like the fact that we have not had any QB's that we have drafted stick with the team, or gotten better and challenged Jake for the starting position.

We don't have to have a top 5 QB to be successful, but it sure would help sometimes.

This pretty much sums it up for me. While I would love the organization to at least "appear" more proactive in finding Jake's heir apparent (and who knows, he may be on the roster), I do realize that he is the best option for the team right now.

As people have already mentioned, I love the guy's intangibles. But intangibles don't always cut it.

That didn't come out right. Perhaps it's a technical Freudian slip. Your feelings are confused. You have mixed emotions.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
