Yes, another Peppers thread.

I believe it was Skew that mentioned, in another thread, that peppers could wait to sign his tag up until the 14th game. At that point he would be paid his 16 million for playing in 2 games. I'm interested in others opinion. I have mentioned that peppers was acting like a spoiled brat because of his not signing the tag, or being more active in searching out another team. Does anyone else feel that he is trying to hurt the team instead of help? He made a statement that he wanted to do what was best for both he and the team. He has been treated like royalty on this team. He has made a lot of money and I think most of us feel he has not been worth the price. He has had great moments and definitely has potential for many great moments, but he has not been worth the money. I would be thoroughly pissed if he held out until the last moment, signed the tag, and collected the money. He isn't a dummy by no means, but I thought he had more integrity.

If he waited till the 10th game to sign, the Panthers would cut him before he got two games in. On top of that, it would destroy his chances of EVER getting a big pay day.

yeah, this would drop his value down a lot. anything that he does to hurt the team will be seen as a big negative for any other team wanting him. all he is going to do is get 1 year contract offers from then on. very few teams would feel that they could depend on him for long before his wanderlust kicked in. this also makes him seem a lot less of a team player than what they would like to sign big multi year contracts to.

The entire tag is not owed to Pepp if he doesn't sign before the 1st game. The amount is prorated on a per game basis of about $1 million per game. If he waits until the 10th game to sign, he get's a whopping $6 million the rest of the season. It is not in Peppers best interest to not sign the tender.

Peppers may be thinking everything over again... maybe he is thinking about staying in Carolina...

If he wanted out of Carolina bad enough, we would have heard something by now about his agent talking to other teams.

I like it. It would be nice if he told the Panthers, "withdraw the FT and I will sign a contract". But I don't think that will happen.

    • If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy
    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
