Wow, who took responsibility for stinking up the team. Was it the quarterback that couldn't get it going and the coach that alllowed said quarterback to keep starting,and the team continued to lose. Who will the blame fallo on after peppers is gone.Fox made a bad decision for continuing to start jake over matt. So he injured his finger, wow what an excuse to sit him on the bench. Peppers never threw interceptions, as a matter of fact before the defense could take off their helments and get a rest they had to go right back on to the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-48019066487280414842010-02-01T22:42:59.890-05:002010-02-01T22:42:59.890-05:00SIGN TEBOW!

Bar none. No one is even close. If you think it would be easy to replace his level of talent (even if you think it only shows up sometimes)...well, it wouldn't.<br /><br />That being said, I don't see the Panthers just "ignoring" the situation to indicate they aren't interested. Seems too unprofessional to me. They have a plan.

He seems to want to play in a 3-4 scheme and he isn't going to get that here. Go make some money elsewhere and in all likely hood, unless he goes to St Louis or Detroit or a place similar, he will be more likely to win a super bowl. Because the way the Panthers are going it's going to be sometime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-90722499733102927932010-02-01T18:09:18.315-05:002010-02-01T18:09:18.315-05:00Real question.

It is not a given that this will DEFINITELY be an uncapped year. It is LIKELY, but the owners and players union have until March to come to an agreement. If we signed Peppers to a huge deal right now figuring there's not a cap anyway so it can't hurt our ability to sign other free agents, and then all of a sudden a deal gets done and there will be a cap, we've screwed ourselves. It doesn't seem fair for Pep or his agent to expect us to make him a huge offer until we are sure that there either will or will not be a salary cap. Not to mention, correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't heard any other teams re-signing players yet. It's early in the offseason, two team's seasons aren't even done yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-60534565016104979752010-02-01T17:25:15.562-05:002010-02-01T17:25:15.562-05:00I've been saying this for a long time, the pan...I've been saying this for a long time, the panthers really can not make the right decision here. If they franchise him and try to trade him, not only do they make peppers angry (we all know how he plays or how he doesn't play when he is mad) but risk 20 million on potentially nothing. If they do sign him to a long-term deal he will most certainly play as apathetically as ever. If they let him go for nothing, they motivate him to have an awesome year somewhere else.

Therefore, because this is an uncapped year in the NFL, I think the Panthers will make one last offer (accept or go) and if he doesn't, franchise him one more year and shop him around (even for a 2nd rounder). It's better to get someone in return than just let him walk for absolutely nothing!
