I Support Peppers' and Fox's Right to Do What They Want...

It's a free country, and they should be free to make whatever decision they want to in terms of their employment. Granted, their decisions will have financial ramifications one way or the other, and it may or may not be the right decision down the road.

As much as we as fans are predisposed and biased towards supporting the organization they work for, the Carolina Panthers, at the end of the day they are employees of the Carolina Panthers and the same rules should apply to them that apply to the rest of us working stiffs.

Case in point, today I found out yet again I would have to take a pay cut from my employer. This is after I endured a six month pay reduction, which was reinstated in October only to be taken away again.

I guess it is irrelevant I lead my company in sales for the year, I am suppossed to be a team player.

Well, F*** that. I outperformed my teammates, and I deserve to be treated differently in terms of compensation. And to be honest if I had a better situation I would leave tomorrow.

I love my teammates (colleagues) and don't even mind my coach (boss). But I have grown to hate the f***ing organization I work for and want out.

However, I want to be unemployed even less. So while my issues are certainly not equated to the same pay grade of Peppers or Fox, my basic issues with my employer may be similar to theirs.

As a fan, I will continue to pull for the Carolina Panthers regardless of what happens, but I do support Peppers and Fox's right to do what they want. I probably will hope they are unsuccessful in their future endeavors though.

Myself, I hope they both stay. But unfortunately, we don't get to make that call but we also don't know everything that goes on behind the scenes or every reason they might have for potentially wanting out.

Just food for thought and an outlet for me to bitch. Thank You

They have contractual cobligations that they OR THEIR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES agreed to. Without those, I'm with you. But we're not without those.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
