By the end of 2008, who do you think was the Panthers' best defensive end?

Some of you guys amaze me..How is this even a argument…peppers is one the best DE in the league and you all want to say he is not the best on our team..wtf..yes the guy takes plays off but when he is on..he is 10x better than anything else we have on the roster...

Peppers wants to be an OLB. So he can't be the best DE.

JK!

agreed. Brayton had 19 tackles the last 5 games, but only 21 in the first 11. Peppers is an All-pro who constantly puts pressure on the QB and has good run support also.

He's one of the best DE's in the league when he wants to be and I guess he doesn't want to be a DE anymore. When he doesn't want to do something he stinks at it....

He was the most improved by far. His tackling and pressure was better but his Pass rush was not as good as Johnson's. IMO if Johnson can play better ageist the run then he would be very good not that he is horrible at it but we expect alot out of DEs in Carolina.

Man, I know Peppers is supposed to be the bad guy around here but when people can't even admit that he's our best DE then it's going overboard. His taking plays off and not living up to his potential is being way overstated by some people.

This is disturbing, you're truly in denial if you think peppers isn't our best DE

I have confidence in our back-ups but this is just crazy.

:iagree:

Who do you guys think was our best running back last year, DeCori Birmingham or Nick Goings?

that's easy it was Goings, he was a beast on ST.

Yeah, but Birmingham looked pretty quick in the preseason. I don't think it's as obvious a question as one might think.

It's hard to choose because they are both SO amazingly awesome. I'm just glad they stayed healthy. Sure can't rely on DWill or Stewart to do anything... "Double Trouble"... ppfftt... that's for sure...

This thread= Just another way of saying the Panthers should release Peppers from the Franchise Tag and move on. Same answer:

NO.

True, but this thread failed in a much funnier fashion.
