Cant be mad at him for that.Would like him back but not for the 15mil a year some say he wants

Right now, I have no idea what’s going on,” Peppers (left from AP, with DE Brian Orakpo) said, as I hustled to keep up with him. “I don’t even have any information on it.”

I think anywhere is a potential landing spot,” he said. “I don’t have a preference. To be honest with you, I really haven’t thought about what team would be a good fit.”

“I’m just trying to get on a team right now,” Peppers said. “I’m not going to say I want to play for any team. I’m just trying to get a contract.”

I would not give him a long-term contract that averaged 15 million a year. He is not worth that kind of money given his inconsistent play.

He dominates one game and then disappears the next.

I would rather see the Panthers franchise him and pay him $20 million in an uncapped year and then let him walk before the possible lockout, than sign him long-term to that kind of money.

I also cant wait for the possibility for this to happen and Pep bitch about how we "screw him" out of money/commitment for a long term contract for another team. Poor poor Pep.

I think Pep has GOTTEN SMART--

I think anywhere is a potential landing spot,” he said. “I don’t have a preference.

“I’m just trying to get on a team right now,” Peppers said. “I’m not going to say I want to play for any team. I’m just trying to get a contract.”

This gives BOTH him and us the ammo we need to get a #1 draft pick and him a long term contract.

He will be franchised in a couple weeks, and traded before the draft.

Pep learned from his mistakes last season, and with 2 consecutive good years, some dominating performances, and all decade team; Pep knows he will get a deal.

I am not sure that the panthers want to keep him now with how well Everett Brown played in the limited time that he did.

Brown is young and was getting a lot of pressure in his limited playing time near the end of the year.

I dont want us to lose Pep, but with the "i dont know whats going on" talk, it makes me think that the FO already knows what they are going to do, and Pep doesnt have the leverage he once had.

Its evident by the fact we dont see the "i dont want to play in Carolina Anymore, and I will only go to these 4 teams".....

However- if he stays, I wont be mad at all... :D

I tried to tell everyone to read between the lines when he said that the issues of last year weren't an issue at this time.

Peppers hasn't been convinced to stay here because he likes Meeks' defense, as most here have thought. He's just biting his tongue so we don't keep him another year. Last year's potential trade talk really hurt any chance he had of going elsewhere, and he knows it.

What is funny to me is....... you NEVER, never...... hear a word out of this SOB, till it's time to talk about money/contract.

Some may think that is a good thing, but it is also starting to be a very telling thing about him.

Fvck Pep.

I don't know, I like the guy, but this is very telling.

I’m just trying to get a contract.

He may be franchised again, but like last year we can't trade him unless he signs the tender which means we can dump him wherever we want. He won't sign because he doesn't want to end up in Oakland. Period.

I hope Hurney learned from last year, either sign a long term contract for reasonable money with incentives, Franchise Tag him, or just let him walk. But whatever the decision is, do it early so we know what the plan is before the draft. We don't want to wait until July again for the drama to be resolved holding the entire Franchise hostage in the balance.

Peppers is honestly too expensive to keep. He is 30 now and entering the age of physical decline. Signing him to a long term deal would be a mistake for the Panthers. Or did they not learn their lesson with Delhomme? Well you can't really compare the two because Peppers played great this year, but the fact remains he isn't a young buck anymore. If the Panthers knew they had a trade partner for him, then franchise him and trade him. Otherwise, thanks for the memories, you were one of the all-time great Panthers. Too expensive to keep, just my opinion.

REMEMBER-- HE'S "just trying to get a contract" ;)

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight

      There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
