Jake plans to travel with the team on away games after his surgery. That’s a gamer.
And so was the fact that he played thru pain in his elbow all of last year and much of 2005. Kinda explains quite a lot, doesn’t it?
Explains why the Panther front-office went out and got David Carr and spent good coin to do it. Explains why the Big Cat and the rest of the braintrust were so bent about Keyshawn Johnson not stepping up to take blame for some of Jake’s INTs last year. They knew he was playing hurt. Us fans? No, we just pay the bills.
Here’s hoping Jake comes back better than ever. But one word of caution: In his new role as cheerleader, Jake should steer clear of Banana Joe’s. Strange things happen there.
