I\'m of the opinion that many of the Jake fans here have a clouded vision of him because of his Louisiana connection. The Saints certainly lost something when Jake left, but it wasn\'t as much as many of you would have us believe. He was, after all, a career backup.

The facts support this. Even Carolina isn\'t so sure that Jake can beat out the other QB\'s on their roster. If they were sure, they would have signed him to a long term contract and annointed him starter. Instead, they have recognized his potential and are going to give him a chance to win the starting job. Coach Fox has said even after signing Jake that Rodney Peete is still the incumbent [starter].

We all want Jake to do well because he seems like such agreat guy - football and family-wise. The problem is that we shouldn\'t give him more credit than he deserves and, right now, that credit is that he has been nothiing more than a good backup who desrves a chance to win the starting job.
