i dont know if he was worth the million and ahalf he made this season. but i do know all and all he performed well getting double digit sacks dispite a broken hand. it d be ashame to let the future hall of famer walk with no compensation,even if he doesnt give 100% all game 80% of peppers is still better than most defensive ends in the nfl. i hope he resigns long term but if not are we open to taging him again????

I do think he is worth it, especially with Brown and Johnson developing. Pep is special, the kind of player you try your best to hang on to. Hopefully we can work something out in the offseason long term.

His athleticism is uncanny. He also seems like he has a pivotal role inside the locker room as well. Definitely a special player.

he is worth it. He needs to be properly motivated is all. That motivations stems from him feeling he has a chance to win in my opinion.

Seeing Pep meet Moore on the sideline with celebratory fives and back slaps tells me all I need to know about the peppers "effort" situation and confirms all I have believed about the defense laying down at times over the last 4-5 years.

Peps not a HOFer. Not yet any way he will need to play lights out for a couple seasons in row to be a HOFer.

No, he's not a HOFer... he'd have to pump out several 15+ sack seasons and set some records to do that... he's capable, we've seen that the last two games.

Properly motivated, yes he's worth it... he's a game changer. What has caused this surge late this year? Delhomme no longer the QB? Weird as it sounds could that be it?

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
