Since Peppers is almost certainly gone, some people will have egg on their faces

At the end of the season, the posters with supposed inside information here were unanimous (I believe) in saying that Peppers was going to either resign or be tagged. Supposedly credible Panther beat writers swore up and down that Peppers would be back.

Now the buzz from EVERYWHERE, locally and nationally, is saying that Peppers is gone on Thursday.

If that happens, can we finally shut the door on these people supposedly being credible?

I know a lot of people assume I had/do have connections, but I have always denied it... (or have I? ;) )

I'm sure you're talking about me, because I have been such a vocal supporter...

Personally, I still see Pep here for some reason or another after March 5th, the worst of which is if we decide not to tag him and risk letting him simply walk... It's just too bad for business from multiple aspects for Peppers NOT to be a Panther at some point in March...

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong... I've always said I'll eat my share of crow...

But when I'm right, don't expect me to not return said egg many of you are so eagerly awaiting to throw...

who cares, maybe they had good reason to believe he would stay... no reason to run around waving your dick

this..

it doesn't make someone dumb and no longer credible because they thought a team would want to get some compensation from one of the best defensive ends in the league..

*waits for SLJ to come in and yell NO EGG ON MY FACE!*

If we don't get SOMETHING out of Pep, I'LL BE THE LOUDEST MOTHERfugER ON THE MOTHERfugIN' HUDDLE, and NOT A GODDAMN MOTHERfugER WILL EVER MOTHERfugIN' HEAR ME PRAISE THE PANTHERS FOR A MOTHERfugIN' THING EVER AGAIN!... before I make my exit...

Of course, IF THAT MOTHERfugER SIGNS ON THE GODDAMN MOTHERfugIN' LINE, I'LL BE THE HAPPIEST "I TOLD YOU SO" MOTHERfugER YOU DONE EVER SEEN!

It's not that though. I heard that these people had inside information. That turned out to be wrong.

Who are you talking about?

Nobody in this situation has insider info except Pep, Carey, and the Panthers front office...

I've told you all these supposed leaks all along are either posturing by one of those parties, or simply rumors pulled out of people's asses so they'll have something to talk about...

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
