“(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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
