No, he's just not good enough in pass protection for a LT. Much better served being our road grating RT.

Yes, he's better at RT but it's not as though his pass blocking can't improve. His pass blocking was decent as a rookie and it's only going to get better. Plus, he'd have the benefit of playing next to a better guard on the left side (Wharton).

Of course, keeping Gross is still the best option, as long as his demands aren't too unreasonable.

Is it possible to franchise Peppers, trade him and then use the money from the trade to resign Gross? I know the time is short but would it be possible?

IMO, time is too short for that. We'd have to rely on Peppers and his agent to make a quick deal and I doubt that would happen in time. Plus once you tag Peppers before you've signed Gross then you've lost everything as far as options and Gross would have us so much further over the barrel that it's likely we'd drown. Gross has to be signed first or we have to tag him, again IMO.

Gross has to be in the fold. Either with a long term contract, or the tag.

But hey, evidently all the experts on here think he can easily be replaced, so why even worry.

I agree, but the fact we tagged him last year and still have not worked out a long term deal is a huge concern. If we tag him this year and still dont get a deal done, we cant get anything for him next year like we can get for Peppers this year. I would assume that the FO figures if they cant get the deal done with Gross by now, it may never happen and let him test FA. Its still a possibility we can sign him even then, but a lot of competition and huge risk with that. We are not in good position right now.

Probably not.

However, we can make enough moves to create enough room to franchise Peppers and retain Gross before the 27th comes around.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
