First off: Why would we not give Peppers the option to rotate his position on the field at his leisure?

Second: Why did we not pair Peppers and Charles Johnson more as bookends, instead of having Johnson as Pepps backup.

Third: Why did or did Johnson play this good when Pepp was still on our roster?

We lost one of the best if not the best DE's in the league, found a replacement that was already on the roster and we're still short a DE. Maybe Hardy will step up next year when given a chance. Can our current coaching staff not evaluate the talent we have well enough to gameplan to their individual potential? Why

Johnson, like many other players for the Panthers never got the playing time he deserved thanks to John Fox's lack to evaluate talent. Johnson had a great rookie season and should of started last year but No way he starts over Peppers. I honestly think we could of traded Peppers last year and let Johnson start. That way we could of at least got something for Peppers.

I think Gary Barnidge has the potential to be a great receiving TE but thanks to Fox we wont get to see him reach his full potential until we get a new coach. Which could be too late.

First, Peppers isn't a Panther anymore, who cares.

Second, Peppers isn't a Panther anymore, who cares.

Third, Peppers isn't a Panther anymore, who cares.

First, I made the thread, so I care.

Second: any Panther fan should care. You can't learn anything about your future without looking at your past. Yes Peppers is gone, water under the bridge, right Catman. We can't do anything about that and I wasn't asking any of you to bring him back. My point was simply how good we would've been when he was here IF Johnson was playing at the level he is now, then. And if he could've played at that level then, how could our coaching staff have missed that?

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
