Don't really care. He's not Steve where he gave this org all that he had and got pushed out the door. He gave a few great years of his prime and then split. He had his chance in CHI, don't care about anything after that.  Would rather see the Packers or Broncos win than anyone else though...but Peppers has 0 to do with that.

He was coming here until the Packers offered him a stand up outside spot.

Imagine an alternate universe where we grabbed him and let Hardy walk.

That MNF quote seems to be hard to interpret. Some wonder if he meant literally just coming to visit NC (where his roots are) or actually about to sign.

Even then, that's hypothetical and questionable. I just know how he lef,t and it gave me a bad image of him lol

Collinsworth's emphasis when he said coming to Carolina made it seem like he meant to play in my opinion, but I don't blame you for feeling that way. I am a Peppers fan even if he did bail. I am kind of a quiet guy like him, I think that is why I always had a soft spot for him.

Peppers is a huge piece for other teams to scheme for and plan. 

Glad he is still playing at such a high level, that strip on Murray was huge for them.. he is in shape and playing in the coldest place to play in the NFL, its hard to question if he wants to play football. Sure looks like it.

 

Happy for him, people seem to forget how beastly he was at Carolina. I have a friend who says "oh if he played for carolina he must be good"

 

uh.... Peppers was a huge part of the defense here. He was the OG Watt, he caught TD passes... he blocked on goal line. Dude is awesome!

i always root for peppers and fox to win when the Panthers are out. Steve Smith on the other hand, couldn't have cheered harder for the Patriots yesterday.

see I know Steve talked his trash. But he gave so much more than those guys. He talked the way he did after leaving because if the way he left. It was clear he still wanted to be here it honestly was like being a bitter ex that wants to still be with the person that dumped you

I'm sorry, he could not have handled it worse than the way he did. He repeatedly took shots at this organization, Gettleman, Rivera, and his behind the scene comments on Cam. Making comments like its refreshing to be with an organization who expects to win. Screw him. This is the same organization who stuck with him when he wasn't even good yet and punched a teammate as a rookie. Also the same organization who stuck with him after he cracked Ken Lucas. I am not a fan of Jerry Richardson, but JR has always been good to Steve Smith. And who is Steve Smith to possibly come out and say that Dave Gettleman is not a man? Is Steve Smith the best Panther in the history of the franchise? Without a doubt. Do I hope he loses every single game he plays for the rest of his career? Absolutely. I will remember the good times and cheer him on again when he gets his number retired.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
