Tough call. Atleast with Pep you know what you're getting each year, which about 8 solid games, 4 great games, and 4 stinkers.

If the price is right, sign Pep definitely. If he is asking for ridiculous amounts of moolah, then I'd rather have the 1st rounder.

peppers will get tagged on way or the other.

his options will be greater this year than it will be at any point in the future. if 2011 is locked out he'll be 32 before he he can play on any team and who is going to want to take much of a risk on that? we won't be over the hill but he also won't be nearly as valuable.

if he's serious about wanting to go to another team the only way it will happen is if he can make himself cap friendly. only way that is going to happen is if he signs a cap friendly deal with us...unless he can find some team to give us a couple first rounders.

if he signs a reasonable deal with the panthers he'll be easier to move. he's probably not going to be looking at the exact same teams he did last year. if he opens up his options a bit he'll find a new home.

i still say a deal with arizona makes the most sense. they need him. he likes arizona. we need boldin. they don't want boldin. boldin wants to go somewhere he'll be appreciated. money saved from not paying peppers franchise tag will be able to free up plenty of money to get him.

if he decides he's happy here and is fine with staying....cool. prove it by signing a cap friendly deal with us. let us use that money to go after some more help.

so shall it be written. so shall it be done.

What's the point of even having Brown/Johnson if you resign Peppers to a long term contract? Either the Panthers can bank on a 30 year old head case or they can go with their promising young guys who won't be anywhere near as costly.

Sad a Saints fan gets it.

Man, can you imagine how sick our offense would be with Boldin and Smitty as our 2 starting WR's? Think its possible to have 2 1,000 yard WR's, and 2 1,000 yard RB's in the same season?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
