no news...

We'll never know what the Panthers were REALLY going to do because of Carey's bungling. Nobody would give you 16mill and beg you to stay if they wanted you gone. The FO was probably still po'd about the treatment they got last year.

I'm just happy Feb 25th isn't far away so we can end this bulls*@t cause I'm sick of it. Neither party handled this situation well at all. The Panthers I'm afraid, will be on the loosing end of this one.

The FO and defense could loose some credibility cause if you were gonna let him go it should have been last year and then there is that filling the ProBowler, elite player hole in the D line. They don't come along often.

Summary......We have nothing to report now, so let me speculate and throw poo against the wall. Something is bound to stick...then I can say that I broke the story.

That is all.

I take it that you didn't actually watch it because they don't even attempt to do that. Florio and the other dumbass, I forget his name, spend the first 3/4 of the segment stating the case why the Panthers won't franshise him. Then they say that the Patriots were interest last year but other than that he could end up on any team.

Its pretty bad when they attempt to throw poo on the wall but forget the poo! LOL

"Anybody who drops a ton of cash on this gutless selfish punk will regret it almost immediately"

Looks like bitter Panther fans are actively posting comments.

Gutless: One can argue that he disappears at times but his post college job description says in order to get a paycheck he has to stand toe to toe with 300 LB linemen.

Selfish: I have never turned down a raise or purposely done anything to limit the amount of money someone was willing to give me for performing my job.

Punk: See Gutless Caption. Like him or not, dude is a bad agent.

Point is, the situation with the Panthers sucks but Peppers is an employee with a unique set of skills looking to maximize his wealth. Short comings be damned, he(and any one else for that matter) should get as much money as the free market is willing to give him.

I could care less about Peppers leaving. He really has not been an impact players since 04. Yea he gets sacks and has great games like the Vikes last years but that was one damn game. He should do that every game because he is capable and thats what they pay him so much to do.

I'm thinking it will go something like this...

Panthers refuse to franchise him. They can still sign him to a long term deal before FA starts but he wants significantly more than what they are willing to give. He hits free agency and sees his value around the league is much lower than what he's asking for. His agent lets him sit on the market for weeks waiting for that big offer to come in, which never happens. Eventually he signs a deal with the team that offers him the most, the Panthers. The deal ends up being less than what they offered 2 years earlier.

Just a total guess.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
