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 possibly trading Thielen?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Yeah this needs to happen ASAP. I don’t care if the price is lower. These Vikings fans on Twitter are absolutely insufferable. Acting like they have been world beaters for the last 60 years and thinking Carolina should just hand him over for nothing. We’ve had 7 or so tough seasons in a row and we have still been to two superbowls since they have and won more playoff games since 1995.    I hope Dan sends him to Detroit for a 2040 7th rounder and eats half the contract. Even Sheena is replying to them.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By frankw · Posted

      So did the Panthers initiate this by making him "available for the right price" or was this something Thielen himself pushed for? I also never saw this quote he made about JJ McCarthy back in June. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/panthers-adam-thielen-both-asked-182711572.html Thielen believes McCarthy is built for big moments and will eventually show the world the skillset that won the Michigan Wolverines a national championship in 2023/2024. He even said McCarthy could be the “face of the league.” “I have high expectations for him. I've been able to be around a little bit through some of the time last summer... back in Minnesota, and I think he has the ability to be one of the great quarterbacks this season and the face of this league at some point. You know, I think he's got every tool and intangible that you can have,” Thielen said. “Obviously, it's a difficult league and it's not gonna just be easy, but I think he has the ability to handle adversity to be able to be big in big moments, as you saw when he was in college. I think he's got a great support staff around him, whether it be the coaches or the trainers.” Sounds like he's had one foot out the door for some time now.
