I am not a big Jake fan and would love a better QB, but what I don't understand is the full out Jake haters that want him gone. Please name me one QB that the Panthers could sign or trade for today that is better than Jake? We need to be happy that we even have him, we could have Travaris Jackson, Matt Schaub, Culpepper or Russel as our starters. Also there is Steve Smith and Jon Beason have always had his back, they know they could have it much worse.

This is another dumb fallacy. Who is saying in this thread that we should trade Jake for someone like Daunte Culpepper? We're questioning why he got the contract that he did.

not reading all the pages for this thread but if no one posted the link from panthers.com this is it.

I have never complained about us not spending enough money. The only gripes I've had with the cap in the past have been how we've been strangled to death by Peppers this season because of dumb moves by Hurney in the past that have allowed it to get into the situation we're currently in.

As long as they're able to sign players to improve the team, I don't care how much money they spend.

What dumb moves has Hurney made that has gotten us into this situation? Please enlighten me. Every off-season the Panthers have tried to get Peppers a new contract, he pretty much just gave us the finger.

Can you please leave with Crashman?

Again, you can't defend it. I'm still waiting to hear a defense.

I will not spend another dollar on this sorry team and I am taking as many with me as I can. Obviously, my little $500 a year I spend won't even touch the franchise, but it's a start. If the fans continue to support this team financially, they will continue to make crap decisions. Anyone who thinks this is a smart move is an idiot; PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Best of luck Panthers. I've supported you from day 1, but my days are over. I would say see you in the playoff's, but you won't be there.

Bye. Won't miss you.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Jeez, did they fire your mom or something?

Businesses are "cutting the fat", and don't tell me the folks who were laid off were essential personnel. Cuz it's just not possible that a billion dollar organization had a few employees doing very little but sucking on the company teet.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if they weren't so obviously NOT cutting the fat by resigning the fat to a $40 million deal over 5 years with $20 million in guaranteed money.

What should the Panthers have done Mr Know it All? A: Keep the current contract at 11 mil this year, B: restructure or C: cut him for who? STFU!

When you leave can you take LBF with you?

Wait, I just realized that this probably means they will not try to trade for Quinn on Saturday.

I hate this deal. Jake Sucks!

You can't defend it, so you use a fallacy to put words in my mouth that I didn't say. Hilarious!!!!

nothing to defend. you're reaching and trying to find some other reason to complain about something you don't like happened. what the panthers are doing...using their cap space in spite of layoffs that most teams have had to do...is not a problem. that money is/was going to be spent somewhere ON THE TEAM.

have a problem with this then you should have a problem with any player getting multi million dollar contracts....especially rookies that are getting ready to have much bigger contracts than this handed to them who haven't proven anything yet.

you using this as a basis for hating the jake contract is funny.

i would take it more seriously if you extended it throughout the whole of the NFL.

Great SNL skit.

Easy there.

The Panthers could have done a couple of different things. They could have signed him to 3 years instead of 5. Given less money guarenteed or just honored this contract and let Jake walk at the end of the year.
