Jake was already gone. Anyone remember Brooks' back up? Todd Bouman? He was TERRIBLE.
Brooks is gone, but at the time Haslett made the best decision for the team. The evil u know, is better
than the evil u don't know. Haslett and AB are gone now. If they bring jake back so be it, but I
just think we have more pressing signings, than the back up QB right now.

Not really ... the whole world knew AB was hurt ... Jake could have come in for the last three games and made a difference.

Based on recent evidence, what he might have done is throw 6 ints in those 3 games. No thanks.

Jake had played well whenever he had an opportunity to get on the field. All of the evidence at that time screamed that he should have went in and played instead of putting an injured AB in the game.

You can't say Haslett made a good decision way back then because Jake did not play well in 2009.

True. And you can't say Jake would be better than "X" QB as Drew's backup in 2010 because of what he did 3 or 4 years ago, regardless of who "X" QB is, because the numbers will show nobody has done any worse at the position than Delhomme lately. Recent history says he'd suck hard, cause that's all he's done for the last year +.

Jake failed to crack the starting lineup prior to AB, and post AB. He was cut by people not named Haslett. He didn't/doesn't have the tools, and it was an injury to the starting QB that got him on the field in Carolina. He did well for a while but the real Jake ultimately cost him his job and the Panthers a good 12 million. He's good on a 5 yard slant, but he panics in the pocket, throws lobs down the middle of the field when pressured, and generally tends to make poor decisions. That's not me being biased. Thats on his record for the world to see.

Yeah, dat's da troof. That was a low point for me as a fan. I was definitely a disgruntled customer. It's an understatement to say that we had been through harder times, but it was frustrating to see our playoff hopes go down the drain because Haslett was too stuborn to do what everyone could see needed to be done.
