The Hall: Jake Delhomme

[@ryandavis4448]

As a lifer I can honestly say THIS GUY deserves it. He was one punt away from taking one of Brady's rings away to lil ol Carolina....

[@inspectorvoid]

I was sitting 4 rows from the field. Bruce Willis was a couple rows behind me. It was a cool experience but such a. Heart breaking loss.

[@tobeforgottenisworsethande8995]

I still relive that Miss punt in my nightmares. And I will forever hate New England and Tom Brady

[@ryandavis4448]

@@tobeforgottenisworsethande8995 same here man. In some alternate reality, that final punt was good, and Carolina got its first Lombardi trophy.

[@CarikeMaccer]

Jake and Smith are the reason I became a fan in the first place. So happy for him.

You and me both brother.

This gave me chills. The first season of NFL I can remember watching is Jake leading us to the Super Bowl. Carolina Born and raised and Jake made me all the more proud of my team

As his arm strength deteriorated he couldn't make the more difficult throws, but for a solid 4-5 year stretch he was as good as any starting QB in the NFL.

[@terryscroggs3133]

Absolutely. Our Superbowl year he was the best. Newton has never been what Jake was for that one season.

Ah Jake. Could make you cuss him and then make you cheer him. But one thing you always knew, he was going to leave it all on the field every time and he would never quit on you. Truly glad he is getting this recognition he deserves it.

[@ocrajoe3057]

Facts!

[@colinomeara1049]

The epitome of a Carolina Panther. Literally idolized this guy as a kid growing up to the point where my favourite number was and still is 17! Such a humble guy and you can tell his teammates and coaches loved him. Much deserved Jake. Congratulations #keeppounding

[@EWUFBIiswatching]

Just watched a Tim Biakabatuka highlight reel from 1999 and saw a game where Jake was QB for the saints and was giving the Panthers straight hell!! Can’t believe I forgot about that game!!!

[@joshuabeheler9282]

The man is so humble, I don't see how anyone could not like this guy.

[@kingragnar8023]

Seeing Jake run into the huddle for the first time against Jacksonville gives me chills. The start of a Carolina legend

[@supertrackstar9]

That gave me some chills. So great to see how much he still cares about this organization and the fans.

[@DoctorGaga87]

Their 2003 season is what got me hooked to football.

[@CreamyGoodness-sp5vr]

Jake is our story. The Panthers have had some of the true great athletes of the game. Julius is now a first-balloter. Steve should follow. Jake wont ever get there, but he IS Carolina Panthers football. Keep pounding personified.

[@andrewelliott1592]

3 years later, this is the only thing David Tepper has gotten right. That first HOH class was perfect. Since that day, to say we've struggled is an understatement. This team needs more Jake Delhommes

[@mr_movieguru]

The team who started my love for the Panthers! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@jshudo44]

As an LA sports fan, Delhomme and Steve Smith made me a Panthers fan back in 2003. I was really rooting for them to win that Super Bowl too. Delhomme was never at fault for losing that game either.

[@ItsBastrin]

This was awesome. I will always remember being a kid and meeting Jake. It meant a lot to me. I am so happy for him though. 1 Million% deserved.

[@brother5671]

#keeppounding

[@Prrocess]

Jake didn’t lack football knowledge and he didn’t lack talent. He was becoming one of the best in the NFL before his arm went to crap. Really glad he’s being recognized. I grew up watching him

[@gabrielquesnot7840]

So happy and proud that Jake Delhomme is finally inducted into the Panthers Hall of Honor! You will always be the best Panthers QB in my eyes right next to Cam Newton! Congratulations! #Keeppounding!!!!

[@thamaproom5376]

Jake, you will always be my QB. I watched football before but not as much as I did that year you took us all the way to the Super Bowl. The years were great and its the main reason why I will never stop, always #keeppounding

[@samuelmorel9340]

As a Pats fan I got to say I have so much respect for Delhomme, not just due to his great performances in that epic Super Bowl. His journey from an underrated fourth string QB to a franchise face is a great NFL story and such a humble good family man.

[@therocket3701]

I'm also a Pats fan. Big fan of Delhomme as well, guy just never gave up, and was a pretty good Qb for many years.

[@louisskulnik7390]

As a New Orleans Saints fan, I am glad you got to go to play in Carolina. You had a much better shot and you took it! So glad it worked out for you, sir. Love the horses!

[@PhyZiiCx]

Congrats Jake! You definitely deserve this my man! Thank you so much Mr. Tepper!!!! You are truly a blessing

[@cruman87]

Even though I’m a Broncos fan, I loved watching the Panthers when you guys had Jake, Steve Smith and Mushin Muhammed.

[@TR19]

I cried during Jake's release press conference. He was one of my faves.

[@Razzy1312]

It's too bad he got injured and had to have the TJ surgery because his accuracy and power was never the same after that. Who knows what Jake could have been without that bad luck. Still, the story of a fiery and tenacious yet humble backup QB that nobody gave a shot is indeed an inspiring one.

[@brimmlowgawd447]

I fell in love with the Panthers after that legendary Jacksonville comeback game. Rodney Peete never played again.. Respect TF out Jake. Well deserved

[@flames24lightning]

Jake is my all time favorite player. His fiery competitiveness on the field and humble down to earth demeanor off it endeared me instantly from the moment he entered the huddle down 17-0 against the Jaguars Week 1 in 2003.

Was amazing that we let him go and he brought Carolina to the superbowl. If Cam Newton had just half the fire he had maybe they would have beat the broncos in the superbowl. WHO DAT!!!
