As of late you aren't one of those that fits the mold. 

 

We were still competitive without Pep. Luke however without him it's more of a dumpster fire

luke is unquestionably a better player but OP was talking about who's had a better career

To be fair it's not the importance that is in question it's more sustained excellence.

Luke - 6 seasons

Pep - 16 seasons (or close to that I can't remember)

But how many of those were with us is my point. I remember him bailing on us to become a 3-4 linebacker which in my opinion hurt his career more than helped.

What? He was excellent here. He was excellent in Chicago and Green Bay. There was no "hurting his career."

best career? it's gotta be pep by default. longevity x production

Ouch. Yeah he has had that freakish athletic ability and body frame but as for heart and instincts I give it to Luke. I love them both don't get me wrong by any means. Definitely was a bit po'd when he left but still pulled for him when he wasn't with us.

Who are we to question his heart and instincts, two traits which cannot possibly be observed on film?

He was excellent with green bay? I would rep him to so many gb fans and 75 percent would be like who!

Yea Peppers is top 5 all time DE atm and could easily go up to 4 and even 3 depending on how much longer he plays.....top 3.....sorry but no Cam isn't even top 3 QB atm much less all time.

meh, longevity trumps production with small sample sizes. if cam plays another five years at this level he'll be one of the GOATs

Not if we don't win a chip. He's not exactly endured to the masses or the media and without that his passing numbers def aren't touching the GOATS and he'd need 4000k yards avg for those 5 years atm to even get near there and then 30TDs too.

His rushing numbers won't be factored in much, especially if we don't win a title. He's one the most unique players ever and the best duel threat but like with Smitty a lot of what could be or have been is somewhat wasted with the staff we've had here and the philosophy. In terms of just being a Panther GOAT sure but Peppers is an all timer period not just Panther.

Fair or not Cam isn't in that conversation outside here.

    • 1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 
    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
    • the argument that Dan Morgan was assistant GM for years while running counter to everything both his bosses signed off on (who look down at him and his staff for info).....is a tough sell.  I feel we do a variant of this every year.  You aren't this bad...becuase of 1 person.  You are this bad because of LOTS of bad people.  It was never just Joe Brady.  Which is why firing him didn't lead to better offense.  It was never just Matt Rhule.  It was never just Fitterer.    As bad as we are, we need to scorch Earth this puppy and quit letting people who were part of making the mess be the designed folks to lead us out of the mess.  when David Tepper and Jim Caldwell found the answer on the roster......it was clear from the jump nothing had really changed.
