Delhomme, Kasay, Steve Superman Smith and Ricky Thank God Da Bears signed him away Manning Jr were huge in getting us to the SB.<br /><br />We lost because of a long string of coaching blunders. going for 2 twice, calling bad timeouts, and most of all, using a smaller rotation on the D line in the first half.<br /><br />Jake was fantastic. <br /><br />The Kasay kickoff gave them the ball at the 40 yard line instead of the 32 and 29 yardling that started started the prior two kickoffs due to great returns.

There was no feeling that he is past his prime. No way he believes that. It was just that he was very happy as a panther because he loved the players and the organization, and he felt loved by the players and the organization. Simple as that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25620415.post-83902917257470334962010-03-10T13:31:57.765-05:002010-03-10T13:31:57.765-05:00Ryan, don't be confused about the comments mad...Ryan, don't be confused about the comments made about socialism and corporate welfare. Cowards use any means necessary to "blame Obama". It always comes back to our president, doesn't it? If these type people ever had to lose their jobs and have to accept help from the government, I wonder what rocks they would throw then. Anyhoo, Jake's future is not over. He can now do whatever he wants to do. As a columnist once wrote, "It's never too late to do what you love in life."

Football brings one to that point much earlier than many other jobs, but as you wrote, most of us get there eventually.<br /><br />Going slightly off-topic, I'll always be grateful for your help and encouragement.

People really think he took us to the Superbowl and NFC Championship game, but I remember he couldn't get us down the field and John Casey and his golden leg won MANY of our games that got us there. The day when John Casey leaves the Panthers, that will be sad. He won games for us when Jake couldn't get us down the field and Casey was kicking 45+ yard field goals. Many games, we never scored a touchdown and we still won our game.
