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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
