If Peppers doesnt sign prior to DRAFT..

[R0CKnR0LLA]

carolinarolls... what are you going to say when they trade Peppers for a 1st plus more? Still going to say it's a mistake then?

*cough* *cough*

I think carolinarolls is Carl Carey!!!!

[panthers55]

we will never know just WHAT we have already missed by tagging Peppers, not to mention what we are going to miss.

but you just keep defying logic and saying we did the right thing. Somebody might even believe you.

You are the one defying logic. Did Hurney sound fearful in his press conference? What great moves would we have made in free agency. You obviously don't believe what everyone is saying. Look at the folks who are saying we have no pressing needs, the FA pool is weak this year and so on. We are not missing out on anything. I am saying what all of us know except you.

Don't try to paint me as someone out on the lunatic fringe. Gantt reserved that spot for you. You are the guy trying to sell a load of goods that no one is buying. I am just repeating conventional wisdom being expounding by all those supposedly in the know.

Look around Crolls, you are the one out there by yourself.

That or Peppers. There is that Carolina connection. Then again even Carey or Peppers wouldn't spout the stuff that rolls out of Crolls keyboard. They know better.

I'll say its a miracle.

And time will tell if it will be good or not dependent on what we do with it.

start a poll..

in reference to tagging peppers do you

A)think it may have been a mistake

B)still agree that it was right thing to do

I am not by myself. Plenty of fans see the logic in letting him walk. And unlike you I don't need the security blanket of what "folks are saying" about the pool of FA, and that we have no pressing needs to make me feel better about being in the popular click.

believe that if you want to 55. To me it's pure foolishness.

Anyone ignorant enough to see everything going on now and since we tagged Peppers and saying that they are still glad we did so is most likely lying.

We're fine.

We don't need anything.

We would have been laughed at.

There aren't any opportunities out there anyway.

lmao

Look CRolls, the fact of the matter is tagging Peppers was the RIGHT thing to do. Why? No one in free agency worth the inflated money. If we tag him and he plays, we get our star DE back on our already solid team. If he won't play we can let the bidding begin and take what we can get. If all else fails we can still lift the tag and let him go. Why wouldn't you take that risk? Ignorance?

[nosuchthingasapanther]

like i said in another one of the other thousand peppers threads...

carolina has no intention of dealing peppers to another team.

peppers has no intention of signing a long term deal with anyone...unless that deal is something outragous that he would be a fool to pass up.

(in other words, he and his agent think he's worth more than he really is.)

peppers will probably have his best season ever in 2009...as a panther. he's setting himself up for an uncapped season, or a huge contract next season. this isn't about playing in a 3-4 defense. it's about money. period.

as for the draft, a first round pick is overrated. there really isn't much of a drop off in talent in the first 3-4 rounds. in fact, look for the later round draftees to have the same or even more of an impact than the first round picks.

the panthers have for the most part, locked up the 12-4 starting squad from last season. outside of the WR position (which they will draft first by the way), no draftee from this year is capable of starting over any of the starters on the current roster.

the only real need that carolina has is to build dept. they don't have to fill any positions.

you think it is an option to go through all of this and then lift the tag?

just becasue there is not an advertised free agent out there that everyone on the board wants does not mean that you can afford to ride out the off season with your hands tied.

If we get our asking price of two first rounders I will be ecstatic. If not this abysmal failure is in Marty's lap.

Count the posts in favor of your position versus those against. We don't need a poll, Crolls. It is you against the rest. Don Quixote fighting against windmills. The overwhelming opinion is we did the right thing. You and your disgruntled group of malcontents are the only ones who would let him walk.

You are never in the majority. You like being on the outside looking in throwing rocks.

Out in left field as usual. Hows the view from there?????

Been saying that for months. I've never heard any (supposed) fan of a football team go to such great lengths to defend a player like crolls does with Pep. It's unbeleivable. He will go on hour-long diatribes on how it's wrong what we've done to Peppers and how we'll regret it and all this. It's fascinating to watch though. Like a car wreck..

[XClown1986]

I just can't wait to dish out the crow when this situation works out favorably.

[Lone Buc Fan]

Peppers never mistreated the Panthers, I guess you can beg to differ how they are treating him by pulling power moves with the guy. I feel bad for him and people act like Peppers is a monster for not wanting to stick with a team he doesn't have confidence in any longer.

outside lookng in?

throwing rocks?

you think I wanna be a mindless sheep like you?

are you proud of yourself because you are "inside"?

what the fvck are you talking about 55?

I guess that is your clever little way to mask cowardice while telling me you are afraid of the poll....OK, fine.

you aren't the only one who is scared. I've requested it twice from mods who shall remain nameless and the first request was very shortly after the tag was placed.
