From the Rocky Mount Telegram: “If Peppers wants to leave, let him.”

So carolinarolls, I guess you’re not the only one who thinks we should let Pepp walk. :)

The Panthers have to look within and decide whether it makes sense to keep a player who doesn’t want to be there or, at the very least, earn some top draft picks by trading Peppers. It doesn’t seem as Carolina is capable of making Peppers change his mind. An unhappy player is usually an unproductive player.

Sort of a simplistic view of the situation, as I’d bet that if the Panthers can acquire some top draft picks (and I’m not talking about two firsts) we’d be willing to deal Peppers.

Not the most enlightening article, but I just figured we could all use a little more Peppers discussion. :rolleyes:

They aren't saying let him go for nothing...

Carolina needs to make a move before April’s draft.

Doesn't really put them in Carolinarolls' camp.

Now I have a camp?

lol

It's too late to let him go for nothing. He's been tagged. he should have been let go for nothing and we should have tagged Gross again. With solid RB's we should be looking for a stud LT in the next year or two instead of locking up Gross and tagging a guy that wants out, limits the trade process of him, and essentially handcuffs us all Spring and makes us scramble around saving cap room in a time when every other team in the league is dealing with a surplus.

but I digress

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      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...

      Would you trade Ickey

      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.
