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?

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
