Why and how the Panthers should draft Ndamukong Suh

You people realize that Julius Peppers is NO LONGER UNDER CONTRACT after this season. He is a free agent and unless someone is willing to pay him his contract tender (20 million bucks) then he isn't getting traded.

Teams wouldn't trade for him last year when he was coming off one of his best seasons and had a lower price tag by about 4 million dollars. Do you really think they are going to jump at the chance to pay him 20 million bucks this year when he is a year older??

The only shot in hell we have at a sign/trade with Pep is if some team really wants him badly (not likely) and he agrees to re-negotiate his contract so he doesn't make 20 million dollars in 2010 (even less likely).

Actually unicar, part of what you said in incorrect. If we tag Peppers at $20 million, and another team offers him a contract.. they would only have to pay him whatever the new contract states.. they would not owe him that $20million franchise tag. However, they would owe us compensation in the form of draft picks (2 1st rounders, unless negotiated otherwise).

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
