only way i would want to trade peppers

if we can get a peppers for boldin and a draft pick it would help tremendously and if nfl scouts dot have a young man named Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech high on thier draft board and we get an opportunity to draft him and do draft him. then i think it would be the best way to settle this.

and if...... and this is a big IF...if we can possibly pick up DT Albert Haynesworth on top of trading peppers for boldin and a draft pick and draft michael johnson, then this would be a great move for the panthers organization.

but highly unlikely

Am I the only guy that doesn't want to see Anquan Boldin come here?

He's a great receiver, but we do not need him in this offense.

I agree he'd be a waste in the Panthers scheme, I don't believe he'd be happy with Smith getting 70% of the looks.

Fitz getting more attention wasn't as big a deal with the way the Cards threw it up there were enough balls to go around.

Agreed...no Boldin needed. They need to have some kind of reliable 3rd WR, whether Jarrett becomes that guy this year while Moose is still #2 or they get another guy. I hope that Jarrett experiences that 3rd year jump WRs sometimes do...then they could have Moose 1 more year then Jarret kind of takes over the 2nd spot. I think Jabar Gaffney is a PERFECT #3 WR though (reliable, runs good routes, etc) and if NE doesn't re-sign him they should consider it.

I agree. Don't want Boldin and definitely don't want Michael Johnson. I want Connor Barwin...the guy has too much ability and heart and is virtually all upside. He's played DE for one year. Imagine what he could become with a good position coach....and I think we have one.

what is the lovefest with Michael Johnson? I know he makes the inevitable comparison to Peppers but the guy has an awful motor and sucks against the run.

Which one are you talking about? Or do you mean other than the physical differences they're pretty much the same :)

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
