Even if we did keep Peppers

Peppers was pretty honest with us about not liking the defense system the Panthers play. He feels he can do better with a different structure. This is the structure Fox picked and Turgocrap is his boy, so it is what it is.

I can't see changing what you have to make ONE guy happy but at the same time, I really hope this wakes up some eyes down in Carolina about our coaching staff and what direction we're going in. If this is our system, fine. Let Peppers go and draft guys who can fill it. Plus, look at weaknesses of the system... like oursecondary being exposed and Lucas and his overpaid a**.

Another factor about Peppers, from what I read, is that he doesn't want to destroy our salary cap and leave us broke. It's true... The Panthers aren't the Redskins or Cowboys and we don't drop serious money. The last time I can remember, when we went retarded on player salaries, was with Sean Gilbert! The Panthers can't afford what Peppers wants and what Peppers knows he can get. He would rather go to a team where he can play, be the highest paid DE of all time, and somehow not have it destroy the franchise. He respects Richardson too much to do that.

He had been talking with the Richardsons for months about signing and after awhile, just realized that they couldn't afford him or would have to make major cuts to do so. It's like accepting a gift from somebody who just lost their job... it's a pretty sh*tty feeling. haha Peppers isn't like Steve Smith... Smith got paid and paid well but he wasn't here to clear our bank roll and being a small market franchise, like we are, that matters.

As far as where Peppers goes now to play, it'll be interesting. He is a shy guy by nature. If he signs a huge contract, he'll be the center of attention and one of the things I felt he always liked about Charlotte, was the ability to hide out. It isn't New York and it certainly isn't like playing for the media circus Cowboys.

Pep has done wonderful things for this organization and I truly admire him as an athlete but the Panthers know that they can't tie this much money up in one player....all they can do is hug him, shake his hand and hold the door open for him.....with proper compensation of course :cool:

      Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
