“(Peppers) was underdeveloped in Carolina,” said a pro scout who has studied Peppers closely. “When you have a rare talent like him, you have to move him around and give him an opportunity to make plays. Every year you heard the staff talking about finding new ways to create more opportunities for (Peppers), and it never happened. You can’t fault him for being upset. (Head coach) John Fox has lost part of the locker room, I know that.”

Hmmmmmm................

Where the eff else does this guy think Pep should have been moved to? WR??? He was moved all over the line last year like that guy says he should have been. Granted, he played mostly @ RDE, but he did move to LDE and played a little @ DT too if I am not mistaken. And I am sorry but he does NOT always require a double team. In fact, he was thwarted all too frequently by tackles I think he should have DOMINATED. BACKUP guys. I wonder if this scout is perhaps a friend of Pep's agent?

Yea, thats what I'm saying.. so that analyst saying he wasen't moved around enough doesn't know his crap even the slightest.

The thing hampering Peppers in Carolina is his desire to stay with the team and actually put in 100% full effort to be the best he can and help coach the other dlinemen and be a locker room leader.

Righto... Peppers could break the sack record if he really applied his ability on the field 100%. He's definatley more talented then what Michael Strahan ever was, but he doesn't have the heart to be a champion.

Its been obvious the Panthers have wanted to keep him basically at all costs (offering him a 80kk+ contract) the 16kk+ tender this year that he won't sign, and him having history of being in NC his entire footbal career. Just seems like either Peppers is losing his edge to the love of the game, or he just has no confidence in his suppourting cast.

Ehh, the article references "a pro scout", meaning "an unnamed pro scout", meaning "some guy I invented to stir things up and generate an article". Don't put too much stock into anything said.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
