Same source that told me that Peppers would be coming home is telling me that he is very thankful that he is being preserved.  Source says he was promised what he is getting and word is his knees and lower back feel like they did in 2012...whatever that means.  Never knew he had knee or lower back problems.

Also said that he has never seen a locker room in his entire career like we have at this time.  Sergeant Barrett said that the intense love/hate never stops in our locker room and that it is like high school players picking on each other.  

TBH, this was really hard to translate as my old friend is at the end of his time here but I had to share in case I don't hear from him again.  I thought he was in his early 70's but his grandson told me tonight he is 86.  I would have lost a month's worth of paychecks on that.

Either way....if Julius is happy, I'm happy.

Its fair to assume that everyone that has ever played 15+ years in the NFL has knee and back problems

The pieces are all aligning perfectly for us to make a serious Superbowl run. 

We've upgraded every position that needed to be in the offseason. We've add great veteran talent to help our young guys and build a strong locker room. The target will be off our backs from last year. We have an easier schedule this year. 

The Falcons are going to be alright but that Superbowl hangover could be disastrous. The Seahawks might implode after any loss. The Giants still have Eli manning the helm. The Packers will be good as well but they proved they are definitely beatable and their defense is still awful. The Cowboys will be back but how far can Dak take them? I'm not even going to bother with the Bucs.

The Patriots will be extremely formidable but anything can happen. 

This is our season.

I wouldn't be mad if we severely limited the followings snap counts in TC and Pre Season

Stew

Pep

Kalil 1

Olsen

TD

Luke

CJ

Adams

 

And possibly:

Capt.

KK

Star

 

These guys are all professionals, and I really want to be healthy this season.  Cam would be on the list, but he is getting little to no work this offseason, and with two shiny new pieces on offense, he needs all the time he can get out there to get accustomed to the speed, quickness, and timing.

Agreed. In addition to this, I hope if Oher is cleared and good to go, they just use him as a back up LT instead of starting RT.

Every year since 2012, I've always felt we were one off-season away from having a SB caliber roster. I don't feel that way this year. I know it's not perfect, but no roster is.

Love/hate though? I'm not sure what to make of that.

I believe he means in the sense of picking on one another like close friends typically do.  Example: Kalil's video. 

Also, trash talking on the field.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
