Peppers' agent, Carl Carey, told the Observer this morning that Peppers is waiting for the Panthers to announce how they plan to handle his potential free agency before saying anything about his wishes, but Carey reiterated that Peppers' concerns from last season "don't currently exist."

Sounds to me like Peppers is trying to play nice and not get the franshise tag.

Now that I have time to look back I think everything that went down last year and the final result was in fact what Peppers wanted. I think he wanted to be tagged, make 17 million, and then be a free agent this year, the uncapped year. Now, I don't think he really cares what happens as long as he get the best deal possible. And really, I don't blame him.

That's exactly what I think.

He knows he shot himself in the foot last year with his criticism of the Panthers and his four "mystery teams," and Hurney made him pay for it (by paying him, of course).

Now Peppers is just trying to be as cordial as possible to get the best deal he can -- and I don't think that's with the Panthers.

I think Peppers realized he made a mistake last year by making his discontent with our team public. His discontent made Peppers value drop for the Carolina Panthers, thus we could not trade him for the price we wanted. So I bet we essentially told him "act like you want to be here"... so that is what he is doing, so we have more leverage in talking to other teams for draft picks.

Exactamundo!!!!! The longer this plays out, it has become clear that this was never really about Peppers wanting to leaving Carolina. It appears Peppers was alot smarter than most of us thought.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
