Gross is signed

[DelhommesTheMan]

Thats where your wrong...Peppers has only once carried the Defense on his back and that was his rookie year...Panthers went a mediocre 7-9. Steve Smith has carried this offense on his back year after year, deep into the playoffs during those great years. This was the first year in a long time we didnt have to rely on Smith alone, and bang 12-4 first round bye...Peppers wasent better than Jenkins, and he's not better than Beason. Peppers has been one of our best players, but too say he is THE BEST is laughable. He is a freak, has potential to be LT, and Reggie White combined, but he is lazy, and is just not a leader. He's not a fiery guy like Ray Lewis who goes out there and wants to fight, he just quietly wants to do his job, and get payed.

So yes, before you tell us Panther fans who are best players are, why dont you watch some games. Hell Deangelo is more valuable and playing better than Peppers at his position at this point...

In Clear English: STEVE SMITH IS GOD!

Would you be so kind to tell me the name of a Panther that was better? Peppers was the face of that team like it or not. I hope we can get him here in Houston.

LMAO, I knew you would say that and he is close but not quite the impact that Peppers makes. Steve Smith is probably more loved but he is a close 2nd IMO. Good try though.

There aren't many bigger Peppers fans than me but I completely agree with the other guys... I don't recall a game where he "carried" our team. Now he's had some big games and made some big plays many times, but no one has "carried" the Panthers more than Steve Smith. He has had and still has the ability to single-handedly change a game...

Now that Peppers is leaving, I guess he is not the greatest Panther but Jenkins wanted out of Charlotte more than peppers, and when you got reggie white he was already done. Your grasping for straws now....Just stick with Smith....thats the only way you have a case.

[ubecool454]

Ok guys, you win but in my mind he is the best panther ever.....Now stick the loser on the next plane to Houston..lol By the way NC bisquit....nice avatar

[PowerlessDan]

If Peppers had Steve's tenacity then yeah I could see him being better, but he doesn't so he isn't.

[ubecool454]

Maybe y'all can trade him to the Bobcats????

On consistency alone, Steve's the better player.

One of the best days in panthers history.

[Mr. Scot]

Maybe when Gross Pancakes Peppers we can yell out GROOOOOOOOOOOSE

If that happens, the fan eruption will register on the Richter scale.

If that happens, the fan eruption will register on the Richter scale.

My neighbors would definitely be mad, that's for sure.

[Mr. Scot]

My neighbors would definitely be mad, that's for sure.

Peppers fans?

[carpanfan96]

Peppers fans?

no, just me yelling and screaming for joy. It would be nice to see Peppers get Pancaked by Gross if peppers does indeed leave.

[BlindSite]

Thought this was coming all year long, yippie.

[Captroop]

Wow, $10 million a year for the first three years. That's more than we even predicted. Most people had estimated about $9 mil. The full details haven't been disclosed, but is it safe to say he's the highest paid offensive lineman?
