Just a thought

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.

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?

[Jangler]

I haven't seen anybody say he had a bad season.

I think it's more along the lines of the fans don't want to pay him a ridiculous amount of money forcing us to cut talent at other spots where we need it.

I don't want to see Peppers leave. But if he wants his agent to broker a trade out of here, and it helps the Panthers, then so be 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.

It will, but it's going to happen. The only way I would let him go is for a 2 1st round picks and a 2nd.

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.

You wouldnt think he'd want to leave a team that is full of young talent

You're avy is hillarious

[CatfanMO]

This was his balls-to-the-wall season, playing to earn a huge contract. He was tied for 5th in sacks. I dont think that qualifies him as a top paid player if that is all hes got.
