Will Meeks bring out some leadership/fire in Peppers?


The Question

Recommended Posts

Davidson was a nice spark for the Offense with that change under Fox. I'm hope'n for the same thing from the Defense.

playing to the players traits on the O worked under Foxy's "run" based offense. I think the D could be the same way under Fox as well.

here's hope'n

I like that picture of one of the coaches yelling at the D-line with his neck tendons trying to rip out of his body, i know the former guy was very enthusiastic so hopefully the new D-line coach carries on that position

I think meeks approach will differ from trgdo's in the way that trgdo got too creative with peppers ability which ended up hurting his production a little bit, meeks will most likely just turn him loose like robert freeny

I don't think that Meeks needs to bring out any leadership or fire in Peppers. The guy is who he is. What Meeks needs to do is to make good on his promise to develop a system built around the players strengths.

Peppers really would be best if he could move around, take different angles, to take advantage of his speed and quickness. That is reallly what Pepper's wants I think and a reason why he might want to go to a 3-4. If Meeks finds ways to let that happen, within the context of his 4-3, Peppers will be content and will likely have his best year ever. If he doesn't sign long-term before July 15th, he may want to when he sees how this defense is built around him.

Fsntasy perhaps??

As a Panther fan, until proven otherwise, that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
