another article that reveals for the most part, nothing. thought this was an official comment regarding his status, but it's just a "they'll let everyone know if they don't tag him by Thursday" article :|

can't wait for Thursday for this speculation to FINALLY end.

If the Panthers simply let Peppers walk for nothing, I will stop coming to the Huddle forever, turn in my Panthers NC license plate, and sell all my Panthers memorabilia...

I got a baby on the way (should be here by Week 1, 2010) and I ain't gonna be able to keep up so much this year anyways probably...

I'm not saying it is a certainty that he gets the tag, but I hope, at worst, he tests the market and comes back... If we even let him go there and test it, it's likely the most stupid move we've ever made (including the Delhomme extension, the Gilbert trade, etc), and one that would make me lose all faith in the direction of the franchise...

I can see why Mark and Jon stepped down... We're moving in the wrong direction...

Prove me wrong, Fox and Hurney... Get the deal done NOW...

I can't help but agree with you there. I can't even stand to think of not supporting the Panthers, but there are 2 things that they can do that will cause me to seriously question why the hell I support them:

1st scenario: Peppers walks without compensation

2nd scenario: Jake is given the starting job at the beginning of the season

The first scenario with Peppers, I'll still watch games, maybe even go see a few home games(I live in VA so it's quite a trip to go there) and I'll still support them, but will hope they are fired after the season.

The second scenario I will stop watching Panther games, and will sell all my Panthers stuff and likely won't watch any Panthers games this year. That is the ONE thing that I cannot take as a Panthers fan.

He's gone. No one is worth $21million/year. And for him to get a long term contract w/ the Panthers, that's where the bidding will begin.

Please post pictures of your Panthers memorabilia.

I don't think any move is ever gonna beat that Delhomme extension

But, I agree with you. I don't care about the money or w/e...letting Peppers walk free is stupid

Don't worry... You all will get first dibs...

The Panthers should have worked out a long term deal before now... and they still have @5 days... I think if they can't get it done, they will tag him hoping they can get something in return in a trade...

If they cannot trade him, they eat the 21 Mil in the uncapped year and worry about 2011 when we see if there is even going to be football... We can't very well tag him the third year in a row, but his suitors will be lesser and lesser in numbers each year he ages...

I'm still holding out hope, and I'm pretty confident about Pep being here next year and beyond... I've been saying it since last year's scenario played out, and I still firmly believe it... Pep will be a career Panther...

It's not like they haven't tried to sign him long term. They offered him enough to make him the highest paid defensive player in the league. I blame his bumblef--k of an agent more than anything.

Hopefully they can work out a reasonable deal but if not, it's not the end of the world. We may actually end up being better bringing in Kampman and a few FA WRs with the extra money.

It would be extremely foolish to allow Peppers to walk without recieving compensation. Tag him, or watch our limited pass rush fall apart. Our other DEs have clearly shown that they have marginal pass rushing ability. I'll panic if we don't tag Peppers. Zone defense is worthless without a good pass rush. Peppers is a great pass rusher, Brown is unproven and has no bull rush, and that's about it. No need to name any of our other DEs. Tag Peppers, or bring in a DE with all-pro pass rushing ability. I hope the Panthers have a great plan in the works...

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
