The Peppers saga just got a little more interesting...

I hadn't thought about this until now, but there is no question that Everette Brown is an RDE... remember that last year Peppers asked to be moved from LDE to RDE because it felt more natural to him - and subsequently had a career high in sacks. With Peppers and Brown there is no question about who is playing RDE.

Now, not only does he have to come back and play for a team he doesn't want to play for, but he has to move back over to LDE and watch Everette Brown get most of the sacks.

They should have wrote: "P.S. FU Julius" on the card they handed up to select Everette Brown, LOL.

You don't trade a 1st round pick to draft a guy you plan to play as a backup, Brown is clearly a starter at this point when you look at our stable of DE's. At 6'1" 256 he can't play LDE so there's only one place for him on the field right now and that happens to be the spot Julius currently occupies.

I think that Julius will be happy with this addition. He started becoming unhappy when he didn't have quality on the other side and got too much attention because teams didn't have to worry about the other side. If they start having to worry, it's all good. I don't think this is meant to be his replacement, but his complement...

Julilus Peppers is a veteran who leads our franchise in sacks and has been elected to multiple Pro Bowls. Slated to make towards 17 million this year, I believe he will play where he and the coaching staff feel he will be most affective despite the presence of Everette Brown.

Hilee Taylor and Charles Johnson showed signs of being able to pass rush last year, but neither really were consistent in getting to the quarterback. Hopefully Brown can contribute immediately.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
