Is it crazy to think that Pep and Hurney worked out that he would start TC on PUP?

I don't think anyone would challenge Peppers and the coaches from just straight out sitting him for TC. I don't think there is a need to try and hide the fact that the dude is like 40 and needs to be saved for eating quarterbacks for breakfast on game day.

Did anyone actually think Peppers would participate in training camp or the preseason at all? He's 38 and a legend. He doesn't need the extra wear on his body, and is definitely on the Panthers on whatever terms he decides. We probably won't see him on the field until Week 1 and I think that's fine.

I know running back isn't the same as DE but J. Stewart had many preseason where he didn't participate and he was fine come regular season.

PEP will be around and will be in meetings and so forth.  Other than working on shaking the rust off I don't have too much concern with Pepper's spend the preseason on the PUP.  It would be nice to see him ready for week 3 or 4 of the preseason.

The benefit of this is now some of the questionable players will get some playing time with the first unit.  That would really help find out who is going to take the horns in the rotation.

I don't know, but doesn't putting him on PUP save a roster spot for a few weeks (if that is indeed the motive)?

I think KB fan said that pre season PUP does count towards the 90 man roster.

Wouldn't we be able to add a player to the 90 man roster if he is on PUP?

I'm not 100% sure of this but I think The Lobo and KB Fan are right... Plus we've got several guys starting on PUP and still had to waive that DT to sign the TE.

    • Rotating in Chuba was beyond stupid and really hurt our offense overall. We’ve been in a good rhythm the last 6 quarters or so but Canales figured disrupting that with Chuba would be worth it Rico fits this offense so much better than Chuba    As far as grades go I know that ain’t our RB1, starting Center and our supposedly deep WR room and exciting talented young TE in dead last. Weird. I wonder if that has any correlation on QB play  Even that first incomplete ball Bryce threw in the end zone that hit Legette’s hands. Legette had no business being there so early. Legette went into scramble drill when that ball was intended for Coker who led up because of the traffic there
    • Yeah Jets have pretty much been in every game they've played and have barely lost to really good teams. They are much better than their record says Imo
    • I kinda just wanna see what the offense can do with a QB who has proven he can move the football in the NFL. If Dalton wasn't a shadow of his former self I'd be fine with him but Father Time has definitely caught up with him. If we start piling up the losses as the schedule gets tougher and the passing offense continues to be anemic that might cast Canales his job and it's worth a very low risk move IMO to at least give him a fighting chance. The thought of yet another Tepper rebuild just isn't at all exciting to me having already seen a few of them. I'm about giving this current guy a fighting chance.
