OK, we've heard all the theories...

Peppers to Tampa, Peppers to Denver, Peppers to

Oakland, Peppers to Kansas City, Peppers to Arizona, Peppers to

Dallas, Peppers to Pittsburgh, Peppers to Chicago, Peppers to NY, (both), Peppers to Miami, Peppers to...

Can we stop the crazy talk now? Hurney has made it plain.

We want him and will be firm in what we will take for him. If you don't come armed with plenty of ammo then don't come at all..

The problem, as I mentioned in the other thread, is that despite Hurney projecting such a firm stance on the franchise tag, Pep's cap number is paralyzing us from acquiring much needed depth and overall talent. We've already lost three guys from our OL unit alone that were legit players. I was happy to slap the tag on Pep and hopefully talk him into buying into the changes we've made... But, if something doesn't happen soon with his contract situation, we're in bad shape.

agreed.

he was within his rights to say that.

the decision for peppers to not sign and to leave was not hurney's or the panthers. they want him to stay an be a panther.

hurney has all the power here. if there isn't a team that doesn't want to agree to what the panthers are entitled to then peppers has to stay here. what peppers does with that is up to him.

I disagree. We have until the draft to make something happen. Then after the draft we pick up some cast offs (aka..Bridges) like we have before. We will be ok and we don't need to make a desperate move like the Patriots made. Peppers is going to be payed a lot of money but, he won't be on the bench......big difference. If we get JP to buy into our new scheme before the draft and re-up then we go in a different direction on draft day.....if not then we draft to replace him. Hurney is going to do what is best for this org. It might not be what we think is best but, I trust him to do the right thing.

ps. IMO...this whole situation is in JP's hands. He has the power to make things work. One way or the other.

      OTA's

      By strato · Posted

      People were discussing the new backup QB in comparison the the starter.  Neither has anything close to a cannon.  Video was posted of them throwing.  If people can’t be free to express their opinions without being put on a list of posters who have ruined this place we have a bad situation here. People trying to silence  criticism of the QB.    Maybe actually post about the other players instead of about the other posters. That is where it went off the rails.

      That's true and we're definitely going to hear more about it as summer progresses. But at the end of the day all of the progress we've made on the roster as a whole will only matter if our passing offense can emerge from the basement of the NFL. In 2023 it was 32 out of 32 in 2024 it was 30th out of 32 and last year it was 26th out of 32. And early in the season we relied heavily on a career year from Rico Dowdle who is no longer on the roster. This is only reinforced by the fact that we (depending on how one views it) effectively took playcalling out of Dave Canales hands and brought in another offensive mind. The elephant in the room isn't going anywhere no matter how much we may not like it.

      There's plenty of other things to discuss. This is the most talented roster we've had in a long time.
