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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025.

      Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
