Scout.com has Suggs listed higher than Peppers. Wonder if that has to do with Suggs being almost 2 years younger than Peppers? Interesting seeing how so many think Peppers can't be replaced. Suggs could be available if Baltimore has to use their tag on Lewis and could come at a much cheaper price, or maybe not. I think Peppers, and his agent, might be surprised at how low the offers are going to be outside of Charlotte.

They might but I just really would like Suggs here. Really he could play the 4-3 or 3-4 for us.

My friend and I were discussing this and we both agreed that Suggs is better upright than with his hand in the ground. Maybe if we fired the whole staff and decided to go to with a coach that used a 3-4 he would be a viable option but until then...I don't see it.

Fox started out as a 3-4 guy. Hey lots of coaches decide to switch but I really doubt we do it.

The point is:

Nobody loves you like your momma. For Peppers, the Panthers Fans were always willing to look past some of his faults b/c we watched him grow up in front of our eyes. He will not get the same slack from fans of another city.

If he was to change his mind and re-sign a long term with us, I predict many in Charlotte would forgive and forget.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
