Peppers having the time of his life

There are many things I notice when I photograph the Panthers on game day. While the action produces images that excite fans, I like to chase the moments.

This is my fifth season with the Panthers and while the roster changes from season to season, I've become quite familiar with many of the players’ habits and tendencies, mostly by observing them through my lens.

A new addition to this season’s roster, to the delight of many fans, was defensive end Julius Peppersicon-article-link.gif. I was told he was “freakishly” big, kept mostly to himself and regularly avoided the media. All that made me assume it would be difficult to capture good moments outside of action shots. Never assume.

Very good stuff.  A few years ago would have never imagined Pep back with this team. Seems like the time is right.  Plus...he has changed, or grown...whatever.  He seems different in a good way.  He has a peace about him he did not have before.

Glad he is back.  Welcome home Pep.

When a once in a generation technician of violence is at peace, strange things happen, wonderful things if you are on the right side of him.

I could not be happier at this point.

I hope he has a couple of years left.  I know he is up there in age but he is such a fine tuned athlete I don't see why he couldn't go another year or two more.  Especially if we can bring home a Lombardi Trophy while he is playing.  His HOF credentials are more than enough to get him in.  With a Lombardi Trophy he would be unanimous.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

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

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
