  • Gettlemen has NY Giants ties.  JPP is a Giant.  The Panthers could cut CJ, get a veteran to start opposite Ealy who will be 27 for most of the season. 
  • JPP wants to be paid in the $10m per range, in a long-term deal.
  • This is a perfect situation for the Panthers to step in--first, we have the need and the cap room--we would save $1-2m (or more)  per season by cutting CJ and we would get 3 years younger.  JPP is more of a fit opposite Ealy; Ealy and CJ are both best suited at LDE.
  • I think JPP would take a slightly lower offer from the Panthers because there is the chance to win a ring and he would be joining a great defense.  Could we get him for $36m for 4 years?  Maybe.
  • Of course, there is some risk, but this could be worked out in guaranteed/unguaranteed money. 
  • The draft is nicely stocked at DE, but note that most fit the profile of the 4-3 LDE--not many RDE types.  JPP would be, and with Addison, could give us a fierce presence on that side.  I realize we hope Miley steps up, another RDE prospect, but we should draft a LDE depth player to develop and play behind Ealy.
  • I think Gettlemen should be interested in these progressions. 

Sorry if this is speculative, but it is better than some of the off season threads popping up on here.  I do not know much about the hand, but the player has potential.

What finger could he put a ring on? Do not want. He could cough on the opposing QB once he got there but that's about it. He can not wrap up.

That was a good one.  I am not sure what condition his hand is in--his "wrap" was due to recent surgery etc that was healing, and (the way I understand it) not a permanent thing.  Once he gets used to the hand, he may be more effective than we thought--but I admitted that I was not sure about the hand.

The issue is about the guaranteed money.  If it turns out he can play and he returns to form....

You have to realize--pass rushers in free agency have a catch--age, injuries, etc.  So if anyone is expecting an elite pass rusher in free agency--it rarely happens.  Protect yourself with the contract. 

I am sure Gettlemen is being told all the dirt on the situation--

I'd take him for $9-10/year for sure. He definitely had issues tackling after coming back but he had no trouble creating pressure and he got another surgery recently so he supposedly doesn't have to wear the club next year so that could improve his tackling.

People are too caught up in the hand injury that JPP suffered and not focusing enough on his 41 QB pressures and 6 batted passes in half a season of play. Obviously the sack numbers weren't there but when you make the QB move his feet, good things usually happen.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
