I'm not defending JD's performance, nor am I excusing away all the turnovers. But...

Seriously, guys?

What other teams have fans that give up on their franchise quarterback after a slump?

The answer is none.

So Jake sucks. So what? Get over it. I've been a Panthers fan ever since I knew what football was. And not Kerry Collins, not Chris Weinke, not Stefan Lefors has made me stop supporting this Carolina team that I love so much.

Through all of the racial slurs, 1-15 seasons, and murders, through all the torn ACLs, season-ending surgeries, and draft busts, I sit down every Sunday with my jersey on and cheer on my Panthers, win or lose or tie or anything.

Jake blew it. And so did Jordan Gross, Ryan Kalil, Jeff Otah, Steve Smith, Deangelo Williams, Chris Gamble, Jon Beason, and whoever else. The ideal list is at least 52 names deep.

If you're a fan, you shut your mouth and pray to god that the Cats can turn this thing around, and you watch and cheer them on every step of the way.

If you're going to endlessly complain about Jake, go watch the Steelers or something like every bandwagon fan, because the real fans don't want you here.
