I for the first time now believe peppers will stay and really understand why reporters feel like like its good possibility that he will now. The Panthers want alot for him, more than what any team has offered up so far and quite frankly this draft class doesent help any teams wanting to use picks to acquire peppers from us. Seems like Peppers has had time to reflect and realize he's not gonna be wanted anywhere else more than he is here and because of that he should come back and try to earn back the respect of the fans. I have been a big hater of him as of late, almost as much as anyone, but if he'll swallow his pride and come back, i'll swallow mine as well and welcome him back

*If* he stays, I'll support him until he develops another mystery illness that allows midgets like MJD block him off his feet.

However, the only people suggesting that he's going to be staying are the people on this forum. I've seen some people say that Moose and Gross have said that they think Pep might return, but I've yet to see a link to that and a date as to when they supposedly said that.

Google is your friend.

"I've spoken with him and he's willing to leave, he's willing to stay."

im too lazy to find u the link but in scott fowlers q&a the other day he was asked about if he thinks peppers will stay and if tyler hansboro will stay with unc...he said yes on peppers and no hansboro.. now none of this has come from peppers mouth directly to a reporter thats why theres no link of him saying that, but he rarely talks to the media so that should be no surprise. i just think he's ate half of his humble pie, since their has'nt been suitors lining up for him, like carl carey obviously led him to belive that he would

Since Hansbrough has fulfilled his limit at UNC, I expect you are right there, he can't come back. :lol: I hope Peppers will calm down and stay. I don't understand why others are taking it so personally, the team isn't..

Is that the same MJD that knocked Shawn Merriman on his ass?

Just curious....

yep....the dude is small but he is the RB equivalent of smitty as far as pint sized power goes. low center of gravity and and a ton of leg strength and he knows how to use it.

I think Peppers will stay, have thought that ever since Hurney announced that the Panthers would be looking for 2 1st round picks (which I don't think we can get for Peppers based on his age and that not-so-long-ago 2.5 sack season).

The good news is that 1st round draft picks are highly overrated. Keeping a guy on your roster that you know is *capable* of 14.5 sacks in a season is better than drafting a guy that you think might be capable of it. There's allot of quality to be found in the 2nd round this year...

LOL, you can always identify the people with self-esteem issues by the way they react to the Peppers situation. Peppers rejecting the Panthers felt like personal rejection to allot of these folks and they can't handle that... LOL

I got use to the idea of no first round pick, when we drafted two first round players last year. Never got my hopes up for a first round pick outta of the Peppers thing, cause I never really believed he was going to be gone. And I won't, until a trade does happen.

It does appear the wind is blowing in the "Peppers stays" direction. Everyone says that you need to wait to just before the draft. I agree, however you saw how quick Culter was moved. If someone wants you and someone wants to move you; it can get done. Major stumbling block, is Peppers refuses to sign his tender offer, therefore the only trades that can be developed are with his amateur agent. That means none.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
