I'm dumbfounded. Being a huge Peppers fan, I find this hard to digest. Peppers is a beast and there is nothing better than home grown talent. Don't get me wrong, Smitty has really been the face or our organization and a great asset. Oh hell with it, I can't pick between them.

but his body of work is better than smitty....who would you rather have on your team right now?

Everybody is aware of that. It's not comparing the players it's comparing the draft picks. Smitty is a 3rd rounder so he is seen as a greater achievement. Peppers is supposed to be brilliant, he was draft #2 overall. Smitty was just going to be a return man and slot receiver.

I'd have to agree. And in my opinion, Smitty should go down as the all time greatest panther and he deserves a statue right next to our other undersized overachiever.

You lost me at being a Peppers fan.

Smith was a far better choice.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By rayzor · Posted

      seems like he wasn't quite himself when he came back from landing on his head. like his confidence wasn't 100%. hoping it is, though.  we've got a lot of potential here. i really like our TE room right now. RB corps is stacked. WR doesn't look too shabby either. and we are going to see some good things from BY too.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.

      That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.
