i dont know if he was worth the million and ahalf he made this season. but i do know all and all he performed well getting double digit sacks dispite a broken hand. it d be ashame to let the future hall of famer walk with no compensation,even if he doesnt give 100% all game 80% of peppers is still better than most defensive ends in the nfl. i hope he resigns long term but if not are we open to taging him again????

I do think he is worth it, especially with Brown and Johnson developing. Pep is special, the kind of player you try your best to hang on to. Hopefully we can work something out in the offseason long term.

His athleticism is uncanny. He also seems like he has a pivotal role inside the locker room as well. Definitely a special player.

he is worth it. He needs to be properly motivated is all. That motivations stems from him feeling he has a chance to win in my opinion.

Seeing Pep meet Moore on the sideline with celebratory fives and back slaps tells me all I need to know about the peppers "effort" situation and confirms all I have believed about the defense laying down at times over the last 4-5 years.

Peps not a HOFer. Not yet any way he will need to play lights out for a couple seasons in row to be a HOFer.

No, he's not a HOFer... he'd have to pump out several 15+ sack seasons and set some records to do that... he's capable, we've seen that the last two games.

Properly motivated, yes he's worth it... he's a game changer. What has caused this surge late this year? Delhomme no longer the QB? Weird as it sounds could that be it?

    • 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.
    • 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.
