Win or lose, will Pep be back next year?

[Jmac]

The man still has the motor and seems to have the desire to keep playing. Has he lost a step? Sure we all do with age.....still better then many guys ten years younger. What's the take on 2018....will he be back and should he be back? New ownership coming and hopefully a GM also...will they see it the same way?

Id say yes

Guy is still playing at a high level.

We are a contender and still his home team 

He's only 5.5 sacks from 3rd place all time

He still has 4 games to get those 5.5 sacks this year!

If we win the SB - 5% chance of coming back

If we don't win the SB - 51% chance of coming back

[SOJA]

When we win the superbowl this year, he retires

If we lose in the playoffs he comes back for one more year, pep is having fun this year

[t96]

I think he comes back regardless to be honest. What better way to go out than to win 2 SBs, while also breaking more records?

[WesleyM]

Before the year I would have said this may be his last.  Looking at his performance this year and how they have essentially allowed him to practice and play when he wants, I could see him coming back in order to take 3rd on the sack list, if nothing else

[Jimmy]

I think he will...6 more sacks and he passes Kevin Greene all-time on the sacks list. But if we know Pep like we do he probably doesn't put much stock in such things.  But it would be cool to see him in the Top 3 All-Time!

[Anybodyhome]

I think he'll come back just to add a few more sacks to his number and, to echo what SOJA said, he does seem to be having fun this season.

BTW, mention this to some of your non-Carolina Panther fan friends....

3 of the top 5, and 4 of the top 11 NFL all-time sack leaders wore Carolina Panther uniforms: Reggie White, Kevin Greene, Julius Peppers and Jared Allen.

[SOJA]

keep pounding

[The Huddler]

Id say yes. What he has 10+ sacks this year?   Still playing at a high level and still records to be broken

 

 

[SOJA]

keep pounding

[Steve_Smith_Sr.]

I think he'll be back.  

[pantherclaw]

Not sure the sack record means as much to Julius as people make it out to be. 

I think he'll return regardless of win/loss, just to be apart of our locker room.
