We Need Peppers in Carolina

Recommended Posts

I know peppers is not very popular around here right now, but looking at the big picture we need him to stay in Carolina Blue. Why you ask....

Going back to our superbowl run we were able to get there with a dominant front four that made our secondary and entire defense look great. Looking at the past superbowl champions Steelers and Giants they were able to win due to the rush they could generate with their front line. Having a great front makes everything easier on the rest of the defense.

With that being said, without peppers we have nothing more than an average D-Line in the NFL for years to come. Outside of peppers we currently do not have any big name stars on our D-Line that could take our DL unit to top 3 in the NFL.

Peppers has the Potential to be a top DE in this league if he could get motivated, a new outlook, some good coaching or better motivation from the coaches. He is our best hope in getting our DL back to being one of the best in the NFL.... If he leaves were realistically looking at YEARS before we can even think about getting our DL back to that point....

1) We have other needs... such as a big time QB. So any early draft pick will have to be spent finding our QB for the future

2) We currently don't have a 1st round draft pick until 2011

3) We would need to find a STAR DE, plus Solid DT's to build our line back up....

So with him gone our defensive line moves to mediocrity for years to come.

Yes this offseason I was guilty of being "emotional" and wanting him gone. It angers me seeing all that talent going to waste. But if were objective, our best chance is to get him to produce again.... not letting him go, and for nothing at that.

I want this team to get back to superbowl form again.... but with the solid teams we currently have in the league.... we need Peppers to get off his ass and help us get back to that form. Otherwise were looking at years or rebuilding and mediocrity in Carolina.

He won't sign a long-term contract. It's too expensive to Franchise someone who plays to not get hurt, and doesn't play to make plays like the DE he is. We can use that 20 Mil for Free Agents that will shore up the DT spot, a new DE, the Secondary, problems with depth, etc etc etc.

Pep isn't worth it unless he's gonna play to win.

he doesn't want to stay here....

Right now... maybe not... I don't know. Sources claim he had a change of heart after he signed his tender and wanted a long term deal.... I don't know how true that is...

It's possible we bring in a new coach that he actually want's to stay and play for next year.

And what FA are we going to sign? Just like that were going to bring in a Solid DE, DT, and shore up our secondary in FA?? If it were that easy all teams would be doing it. Looking at the redskins, just signing big names is not whats going to get us back to the level we need to be at. We have to be realistic here. My opinion

    • It has nothing to do with Bryce. Going into the offseason we had options other than an ancient Andy Dalton and piss poor Plummer to look at. Dalton didnt look good other than one game against the worst defense in the NFL. We should have upgraded at backup QB, especially to a backup that fit our HC style of offense. That meant a gunslinger and there were several available to be had that were younger and better suited for DC's offense. Plummer was always a waste of time. Sometimes you find gems or maybe guys that can be serviceable for a game or 2 but you actually have to look for them. We didn't. We did nothing to improve our QB room and that has nothing to do with Bryce. We kept Bryce comfortable, but thats a different topic in and of itself. 
    • I think there is room for other interpretations of the inner working of the DM SF bromance.  Yourself, being a man of character, work for your best friend. You might be close enough to speak your true opinion without repercussion.  Stay with me.  Dan was really good NFL MLB. How do you think a guy that played against Brady, Farvre, people like that, would view going against a 5’10” noodle arm that wasn’t a human joystick?  I know I what I think about that.  So he say to best bud, I don’t know about this. Looks risky. Best Bud says, your opinion is noted. What about that DT we are looking at? Dan was a defensive guy. Now I will stretch it further but I don’t need to. Fit says the Tepper’s are in love with the guy what do you want me to do?  That isn’t even necessary it may be that Fit loved him too.    There are multiple things that an open minded person might view as realistic scenarios.    Just sayin.
