From the Rocky Mount Telegram: “If Peppers wants to leave, let him.”


Recommended Posts

So carolinarolls, I guess you’re not the only one who thinks we should let Pepp walk. :)

The Panthers have to look within and decide whether it makes sense to keep a player who doesn’t want to be there or, at the very least, earn some top draft picks by trading Peppers. It doesn’t seem as Carolina is capable of making Peppers change his mind. An unhappy player is usually an unproductive player.

Sort of a simplistic view of the situation, as I’d bet that if the Panthers can acquire some top draft picks (and I’m not talking about two firsts) we’d be willing to deal Peppers.

Not the most enlightening article, but I just figured we could all use a little more Peppers discussion. :rolleyes:

They aren't saying let him go for nothing...

Carolina needs to make a move before April’s draft.

Doesn't really put them in Carolinarolls' camp.

Now I have a camp?

lol

It's too late to let him go for nothing. He's been tagged. he should have been let go for nothing and we should have tagged Gross again. With solid RB's we should be looking for a stud LT in the next year or two instead of locking up Gross and tagging a guy that wants out, limits the trade process of him, and essentially handcuffs us all Spring and makes us scramble around saving cap room in a time when every other team in the league is dealing with a surplus.

but I digress

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
