Dont waste the tag on Gross and risk pissing away a 1st and 2nd round pick for tagging and trading Peppers. Offer Gross a fair deal, but if he plays hardball, let him walk. Travelle Warton will step in and hold down the left side of the line perfectly. Hangartner, Bridges and Vincent will make the rotation on the line one of the best in the league even without Gross. Just find a capable reserve in training camp and the line will be fine.

explain the first sentence please

Ok.......The tag= The franchise tag, every NFL team can designate one yearly.

Gross= Jordan Gross, the guy thats played on our offensive line for a couple of years now.

Piss away: slang term, meaning waste, discard foolishly

1st and 2nd round pick: every year, the league holds a draft, in which stand out college players have a chance at becoming employed by the NFL. There are 7 rounds total, and typically the best pick are in the 1st and 2nd round.

Peppers=Julius Peppers, pretty much the face of the Panthers franchise since 2002.

Hopefully this clarifies it some for you :confused:

riiiiiight, i was talking more about you explaining how we risk losing 2 picks if we franchise him

Because we won't be able to use the tag on Peppers, and thus, trade the guy for at least a 1st round pick (and maybe a 2nd/3rd, ala the Jared Allen deal.)

Either way is fine for me, honestly. Best case scenario is that we sign Gross finally, and then franchise and trade Peppers.

I don't think the Panthers necessarily need a 1st round pick this year. Would it be beneficial? Sure. But Gross knows the system, is as solid as you can want in an O-lineman. Therefore, he might very well be worth more than a 1st round pick.

I've gotta agree though. If a deal isn't struck by Thursday, say adios to Gross and go ahead and franchise Peppers. Might as well try and scoop up picks in the draft. The Panthers tend to draft pretty solid players in the first couple rounds.

Push comes to shove, we could put Wharton at LT and Bridges or Hangartner at LG. Could even put Vincent at LG since he's played there before and put Bridges at RG since he's never played LG. Hangartner has been playing Guard for us for a while and Wharton has played LT before if you haven't been paying attention.

Why franchise Gross and let Pep go with no compensation? That would be one of the worst moves in the Fox era, if not THE worst. We HAVE to franchise Pep no matter what to get picks and/or an extra player out of a trade.

So the best way to go about this is franchise Pep, then give Gross the best offer we can come up with. He'll either sign it or not.

thats stupid... you want to risk the o-line (our running game anyone) by completely shuffling it? Hangman isn't a very good G if you hadn't noticed..

If gross walks there is no way they shuffle it....

Whats stupid is letting Pep go with no compesation. You're comfortable with a Johnson-Lews-Kemo-Brayton lineup? We need depth for DT and DE. We are very needy on our d-line more so than the o-line.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
