Opinions on Peppers

As much as I love the guy and what he has done for our organization, there have to be some worries about paying a guy 80-90 million bucks when the success of the DL is based on a group of guys rather than just one player.

However, I do believe that he is the best DE in the NFL and without him our defense will severely suffer in not having him.

So the two options are keeping him and continuing to base our defense around him

Or

Tagging him and trading him most likely for multiple first round draft picks...There is not a defensive player in the entire draft that could make an impact like him but if we are serious about starting to groom a talented QB then this could be what allows us to do so. When all is said and done we would still have the best MLB in the league, an extremely talented (yet underachieving) secondary, and a lot of other guys that are good impact players.

Just gotta wonder what kind of steps backwards our defense would take without him?? IMO tho if we get rid of Pep we might as well get rid of Jake and start looking toward the future.

The front office is not about to just let him "walk." He is worth too much to do so...

I gotta think he's gonna get the tag... and I think he knows it... but at 17 mil he's prolly not too upset about it...

They could work out a deal tho if they can guarantee him enough money.

Pep is a great DE when he wants. He gets doubled alot and the coaches don't move him enough to keep OLs confused. Fox won't make the moves to get rid of Jake and Pep even though that is really the only way Carolina has a shot at fixing the QB problem. However, neither Cowher or Shott has the loyalty to these two that is holding this team back.

If it came down to Gross or Peppers, I would rather have Gross.

really....Jordan"FALSE START" Gross over Pepp?

forced fumbles...how man las season?

sacks...how many did he have LAST season?

the man steps his game up dramatically in 1 season..and y'all STILL ain't satisfied

IF it works out that Pepp isn't a Panther...you'll definitely see how much he's missed..OTHER teams have based their defense and offense off of Julius Peppers..not a Jordan Gross.

Man some of you guys are really stupid if you think the team is better off without Peppers. Johnson can't take his spot, we don't have a first round pick and for the price of other defensive ends on the market we won't get better value than Peppers. Wake up to yourselves./

1. Re-sign Gross long-term.

2. Franchise Peppers

3. Trade Peppers for 1st & 3rd round pick (which is what Jared Allen got, assume that's would Pep would get)

There's not going to be another defensive end come around who's ready to put up 14.5 sacks and defend the run better than any other in the NFL...

First round pick, first overall pick, if the team drafts a defensive end, our defense is 3 years away from being competitive three years, at least.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
