Jakes Contract not all it appears to be...

In practical terms, Delhomme signed a deal which will pay him $25.5 million the first three years, at which point he'd be close to his 37th birthday and likely near the end of his run as the Panthers starter. The terms are comfortable enough that he could stay beyond that perhaps a year, though too rich to allow him to be a veteran backup in the waning years.

People get too caught up in the numbers. NFL contracts are not structured like MLB. People are upset that we extended his contract but the problem is there is no one better available. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are not going to be on the market. So realisticly he gives us the best chance to win right now. Hopefully Matt Moore will develop. We will see.

:eek: If we had been patient, we could have had Mike Vick!

If we let the Huddle do his contract it would have consisted of... whatever change we can find in our cars, an expired movie pass, a 6 pack of stale Natty Ice and a coupon for "buy 2 get 3 free" bacon from Harris Teeter.

...and that offer would have only come after months of negotiating.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
