The media didn't make him say what he did before the pro bowl, or during the pro bow, or the comments he made through Carey before and after being franchised. The press did overreact but I felt Peppers has handled this situation all wrong. I'm not in support of the article at all, I'm not sure if there is some confusion on that.

I'm with you on that, I just think that blaming Peppers for everything that's happened doesn't take. Let's remember he doesn't even like to talk to the press and I'm not sure that his words are what is what Carey relayed. I mean, the more I think about it, it looks like it's Carey who wanted out of Carolina, not Peppers, but of course he goes along with what Carey tells him to...

Peppers is no diva. He doesn't belong on that list.

Also, did anyone notice that someone in the comments section called Peppers a situational player? That's funny, considering Peppers is about as far from situational as a DE gets. He's a complete DE, who's almost never rotated out of the game.

I think when the said situational they meant he picks the situation he puts forth effort.

I'll still hold Peppers responsible for the actions of any employees, and I agree that Carey was probably a driving force behind some of Peppers's actions. That doesn't dissolve any accountability on his part though.

Yes, that's easy to say and easy to agree with. But the world is not black and white, it's a thousand shades of gray. Peppers was too stupid to make it thru school, so Carey found a way to get him thru. He worships Carey, Carey runs that ship. not Peppers... To say that Peppers is responsible is not taking the full picture into account...

Just because you're the money train doesn't mean you're the engineer...

I agree with you on that but I'm not as willing to overlook it.

I don't really have a problem with that list, Peppers included, honestly. Looks pretty accurate to me.

Peppers will have plenty of opportunity this season to prove that he doesn't belong on that list. Right now, I'd say he does. If he proves otherwise, it'll be a good thing for the team.

CRA is right. Peppers does not belong on this list. I do not have any problem what he is doing in spite of what it is doing to the Panthers. He and his agent/manager have weighed the options and projected a worst-case scenario that they obviously felt had to be avoided. Wrong or right their actions and the perceived reasons behind them are plausible in the situation.

There are too many people on here who have been on the rag about this situation and have blamed Peppers for all this when he has done NOTHING wrong. And not one of you have ever presented anything close to proving that the tender SHOULD already be signed and that signing would be in Pep's favor. Stop getting so emotional about this and let it play out. You people wanted him tagged and you got it. Now deal with it.

The problem is that you can't. Now that you see that was possibly a mistake you are making a bigger fool out of yourselves expecting something to happen that is just not logical. And since THAT isn't happening you are all attacking his character and calling him a diva..??...to do that is pure lunacy.

...never in history has there been a bigger collection of illogical and unrealistic children than on this site since the draft ended.

Well with the off season he really deserves the spot but I would not say he has been a diva any other year.

he hasn't been a diva this offseason......just b/c you disagree with him or are hurt b/c he basically said he would rather move on....that also doesn't make him a diva. That is a career preference for Peppers and nothing more. imo He has said almost nothing, has hardly been seen, and has never actually said a single negative about Carolina........he is a lot of things but diva ain't one of them.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
