He could, but I doubt the FO would want him back... he burned some pretty big bridges here.

We let him walk and didn't even call to let him know as would be customary for a player of his stature... that says a lot about how the FO felt about Peppers.

He got the cold shoulder from us for a reason, it's the business way of saying F*CK YOU.

Pep was my favorite player when he was here... the way he left gave me a sour taste. I can understand wanting to win, but the way he did it wasn't cool.

If he came back he would be a Panther and I would root for him, and I doubt the organization would look at it the way the fans do... so I assume it could be possible.

We let Moose come back when we couldn't buy a receiver. Moose had good #'s and retired a Panther. Who knows, with a good QB we might have got another year or two out of him, he was still in good shape.

I know what you're sayin' but #90 is still one of the best Panthers ever. I don't know if I could deny him the right to retire a Carolina Panther if he ever desired to. The guy is still a beast and doesn't get hurt,unlike #76 sadly.

What if he was in good shape and out of his contract in 2 or so years? Absolutely not!? Reggie White was highly recruited when we got him. #90 is the same type of player and doesn't have a history of injury.

I ask the question from more of a fantasy point of view since we all know everyone is happy. History does repeat itself sometimes though, look at our former #46 and our our former #87, MJ and Kwame it does happen.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
