Everyone wants to complain about Peppers and how he did not have a good season

he had 14.5 sacks (career high) and 4 fumbles

seriously? some of you want him gone?

the main reason he is not a dominant as previous years is because during those years he had another star DE opposite him while now we just have some unexpeirenced talent at the moment i believe that with more beef up in the Dline Peppers will be as dominate force as ever in the upcoming seasons.

I believe this team, with some changes in the D area as well as coordinator (Romeo Crennell anyone?) this team will be as good as ever upcoming seasons.

just a thought

GO PANTHERS!!!!!

btw havent the Panthers given Peppers a huge contract offer and now we just have to wait and see if he signs it?

The contract would be the biggest contract ever for a de, and from what I understand it's been on the table a while. If he wanted to be here he would've signed it already. He's already said it isn't about money it's about the SB. I guess he doesn't think fox has what it takes to win the big one.

I just think personally that losing him would really hurt our defense

Of course it will, but we'll end up getting three draft picks for him in a sign and trade type deal. and would be saving some major money to maybe pick up a major free agent or two on the defensive side of the ball.

I don't think he had a bad season, I actually believe he is still very valuable. The problem is that the cost will most likely be greater than the benefit, and in today's NFL you have to live by the salary cap. The second point is that if you are asking for Romeo Crennell, and his style of defense(hybrid 3-4) costly defensive ends become much less valuable because of the nature of defense and the fact that your defensive linemen become stop plug, run stopping types. These players tend to much less expensive.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
