Trade rumors may have validation

PFW is a good source (unlike PFT). I agree with the comments - Carolina brings in great talent, but fails to develop it.

Take a look at every first-round pick we've drafted since 2001 and try again.

The main problem I think Peppers is having is ever since Mike Rucker left, he's basically played half hearted. Peppers has wanted out even before the end of last season (as he didn't re-sign with the Panthers when offered)... Also, look at the rest of the defense and linebackers... its all on Peppers shoulders alone to carry the workload of forcing pressure.

Great defensive players have typically always had a decent suppourting cast to lessen the workload.

He has an amazing supporting cast around him. He has arguably the best LB corps in the league, the problem is fox doesn't utilize Davis and Beason to blitz enough. He has a shutdown corner and a safety who is great in run support. He has a DT that is soo big he commands double teams. The point is Peppers has the supporting cast, he just doesn't play with enough heart half the time to have it make a distance.

The one thing you'll learn on this forum though, unless someone is absoloutely a bust and trashes themself on the field... If they are a Panther, then they are in the top 5 at any position.

You sir, are a fool.

Not so sure. How many more players will leave or be released because they never became the player we or they thought they would become?

It's already been posted, but the Panthers didn't develop Beason, Deangelo Williams, Steve Smith, Chris Harris, J. Stewart, Gross, etc? All the guy made was a blanket statement with no basis so he deserves to be called out for it.

Nah, you guys just speak highly of any Panther even if they don't excel at their position.

By the way, there is atleast a handful of linebacking cores better then the Panthers. Linebackers might be your strong point, but you guys still aren't that great on defense as it is so that doesn't say much. I can make a list of better linebacking cores if you want that lol... But yea, I'm a fool when you guys argue with me when I just point something out that isn't in Carolina's favor. Thats whats foolish about it all.

This message is hidden because Lone Buc Fan is on your ignore list.

This is quickly becoming my favorite message to see here on the huddle. Makes me a little happier every time.

I think we should all put him on ignore.

You mean like we "whomped" your ass on MNF? I never claimed The Panthers are the best team in the NFC you jackass. They are certainly better than yours though.

I love it when people print the obvious and it shakes the core of some posters here

Yeah I would like to see your list of 7 teams with a better linebacking core in a 4-3. It is harder comparing 4-3 and 3-4 linebackers as easily. They play in a somewhat different scheme at slightly different positions and collect different numbers. For example teams in a 3-4 set blitz more often so they get more sacks.

You really went there. You guys let a 5-11 team walk into your stadium with the playoffs on the line and hand you your butts. At least the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl. The Raiders didn't have squat or a reason to win.

If we suck then you guys blow chunks.
