Don’t know how the front office could have foreseen a second ACL injury.

Yeah, pretty sure we were.

Momentum really swinging. Colorado still up 7-3 after GT stalled in the redzone their last drive but after a quick score on their first drive Colorado just can't move the ball at all while GT was moving the ball at will after they stopped turning it over.

Yep. GT with 3 straight turnovers and then backed up on the 1 for the start of the 4th series. Colorado blew the gifts overall

All good man

And despite that CU is only up 7-0 with GT knocking on the door of the redzone. With a quick strike opening score and two gifted turnovers they've really blown a golden opportunity to blow this game wide open.

My bad, I read your initial post as highest paid.

Lots of promising signs from the back half of Bryce's year, and plenty of reasons for excitement... But confidence that he's already arrived seems massively overblown. We've all seen players go on tears for a handful of games. Bryce's tear was good relative to his peers at the time but it was only as notable as we made it because of how putrid he'd been prior to it. It isn't being a negative nancy to point out offensive limitations we had even during that stretch nor to express this is likely his last chance with the Panthers to prove himself (barring injury) Either way, I'm rooting for him.

I truly do not understand why you keep going back to cap/paid/money. It literally was never part of the original discussion I brought up. The top 5 FA safeties going into this offseason was pretty well agreed upon with a consensus. I guess because you aren't familiar with them and are only going off of cap numbers, if you need a source, here's one (btw Kyle Hamilton was not a FA) https://www.nfl.com/news/top-101-nfl-free-agents-of-2025-ranked-by-position-which-spots-have-most-least-depth

So how are you determining who is the highest paid THIS year?

GT with 3 fumbles last year. 2 already tonight and making life easy for Colorado. Neither forced.

Nobody brought up cap hits. Literally wasn’t even part of the discussion.

Yeah, it's misleading just using the cap hit THIS year based on how NFL contracts work in terms of moving cap hits around for convenience. Dak Prescott is the highest paid player in the NFL this year. Is that indicative of anything other than Jerry Jones being an idiot? Taylor Moton is the highest paid OT this year. Is that indicative of anything other than the Panthers being morons?

Yes I know. Most people know that. But because the Panthers signed him certain posters want to make it seem like we threw money down the drain even though that’s literally the type of guys that got paid this free agency at the position.

Colorado strikes quick on their first possession for a TD. Let's see if their D is any better than last year now.

Weren't we the only team that interviewed him?

Bro it’s not misleading you just interpreted it how you wanted to try to make a point. The top 4 FA safeties this year match what I said in my original post. They aren’t coverage guys.

Peppers is probably still good for 6 sacks at this point. Might be enough for the team lead in sacks this year.

But his actual stats makes me yawn. Now, would he be an upgrade compared to the safeties we currently have? Maybe, maybe not. Yet if you ask me, I wouldn't say he is someone to get excited about. The Patriots after all did release him.

I mean, we're either looking at playing Nick Scott who honestly shouldn't be on an NFL roster, a 4th round rookie, or a second year UDFA. That's pretty desperate.

PFF has him ranked 12th and Moehrig 28 going into this season. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-safety-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-2025-nfl-season Peppers missed significant time in 2024 while on the commissioner's exempt list due to off-field issues, but his 82.3 PFF overall grade still ranked sixth. Over the past three seasons, he has earned a 90.1 PFF overall grade, which ranks third among 96 qualifying safeties

Yeah if they are, they were put their by mistake.

Man, we're desperate around here. I had to look at Peppers' stats to see if I'm missing something, but no, he's an average guy at best. Nothing impressive at all in his stats. He's not a true safety at all, and I'm kind of annoyed with the jack of all trades players at this point. Of course I see the PFF scores and everything, but I'm old school. I believe the stats tell more about the player than the analytics. This ain't moneyball here. (haha) The best players put up numbers. And when I look at the numbers, Peppers is just another player running around on the field.

People see what they want. I have also stated since the moment we drafted Bryce….a badly owned team was screwing HIM over by setting him up to fail by coach/scheme design. Core criticism isn’t actually Bryce…it’s Carolina/front office. I could see Bryce being good. I could see Canales being good. But I don’t see them as a pairing. Football is about fit. Board is doing what the board does. People were idiots who dared question the All Star staff. People raged when Fitterer was criticized. They raged when Rhule was criticized. Until they didn’t.

Yeah and to make it weirder Moehrig is a FS, Peppers is a SS.
