Win or lose, will Pep be back next year?

The man still has the motor and seems to have the desire to keep playing. Has he lost a step? Sure we all do with age.....still better then many guys ten years younger. What's the take on 2018....will he be back and should he be back? New ownership coming and hopefully a GM also...will they see it the same way?

Before the year I would have said this may be his last.  Looking at his performance this year and how they have essentially allowed him to practice and play when he wants, I could see him coming back in order to take 3rd on the sack list, if nothing else

I think he will...6 more sacks and he passes Kevin Greene all-time on the sacks list. But if we know Pep like we do he probably doesn't put much stock in such things.  But it would be cool to see him in the Top 3 All-Time!

I think he'll come back just to add a few more sacks to his number and, to echo what SOJA said, he does seem to be having fun this season.

BTW, mention this to some of your non-Carolina Panther fan friends....

3 of the top 5, and 4 of the top 11 NFL all-time sack leaders wore Carolina Panther uniforms: Reggie White, Kevin Greene, Julius Peppers and Jared Allen.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
