Peppers 1 year deal going to be blessing in disguise

The more i think about it the more i realize that Peppers not signing a big fat long term deal is going to be better for us in the long run and to a certain extenet this year.

The only major con is the fact that he crippled us for this season but in all reality the panthers arent really known for making big offseason splashes anyway. Sure we may have been able to go out and get a mike whale or a landon johnson or a ken lucas (see where im going with this)..otherwise we could have signed him to a long term deal and if he didnt live up to it, we'd be stuck with him.

On the flipside he's got all the potential in the world,plus he's got all the fuel for his fire that he can possibly need right now.We have Everette Brown and Charles Johnson(whos still very young) waiting in the wings and we are now able to continue gaining experience for both of these guys instead of throwing them into the fire before being ready.

The other argument that could be brought up is we lost key depth in hangartner and Omilaye..but were not even guranteed they would have stayed just for money..as they are both going to have a shot at starting elsewhere..besides do we really wanna spend that much on just backups?

so in conclusion we had a bad pre-season partly cuz we no longer have the depth we once had but the time that really counts is around the corner and the wishy washy fans will be back on the bandwagon of the Panthers in less than a week

I agree that not signing Pep to a long term deal before training camp was the best decision for the Panthers. There was no way the team gets a better Pep with a long term deal vs the 1yr. My big question is will we see the Pep we saw last year, which in my opinion, was a guy that looked great in spurts and piled up some sacks to just help himself in the offseason or will he play more consistently like the dominant DE was saw earlier in his career here.

Time will tell - but either way - I think the Panthers should do what they can the next offseason to move on without him.

but, Pep ALWAYS has piled up sacks in bunches, and then gets nothing for long stretches. I dont see why that would change this year.....although I will take 15 sacks every year and be happy.:D:D

There are no easy teams this year like last. Peppers will have to work every game to earn his sacks.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      If it’s all the same to you guys, I’d like to use this thread for Tuesday nights game as well to keep this hate going. I have a feeling Tuesday vs the panthers is going to be violent in that arena.    @LinvilleGorgecan you please add “and Tuesday” to the game thread?  They play the Panthers again Tuesday. Thank you sir!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
