LT and Pep to the Pats in 2010

watch out for it.....

I really really really believe that LT is going to be a Steeler. I think they are the most equipped team year in and year out to win a SB and he will take a big paycut to be part of that. He'll be a great #2 with Mendenhall.

If we didnt have such good backs LT would have been a great fit here. As far as Peppers is concerned he will prob never reach his Potential because he dose not want too. I would not be surprised to see him only post single digit sack numbers this year after his blockbuster deal.

Actually I think PEP will have 1 good year to try to prove the critics wrong. Year 2 though, watch out....

He's still a great goal line back, has a nose for the endzone(12 td's this year.)

He just doesn't have the quickness/elusiveness he used to have. Sad, maybe he should take a couple years off and pull a Ricky Williams comeback after he's completely fresh.

that video was BRUTAL to watch, though..

Man I hope he gets some rest this offseason and comes back better next year. I think he's still got 2-3 good years left. I think some of the problems he's had the last two years were b/c of injury and changes in the strategy in the offense.

He's really a guy I pull for as an individual, I hope he comes back strong.

Wow, look at this guys heart versus Peps. Kind of the same situations, but LT is clearly the better person.

Edit: I know some people are going to say its different becuase LT is on the back of his career.

Situations aside (which are not the same), do a few tears and platitudes make someone a "better person"? You can argue that he was a better teammate, but better person...? Basically, LT is LT and Pep is Pep. They are two totally different individuals and personalities.

Some of you guys just fail to even try and see things from Pep's point of view and/or don't understand the business side of football. Pep is arguably the best player in Panthers history. He is on his way out. Have some class and let him go in peace. Though you may not believe that he lived up to his potential, he still was a valuable and valued member of the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
