One of the things I am most excited about for Sunday is sticking it to Pep

Ever since the messy exit of Julius Peppers, every time we have faced him, he plays his best football against us. I specifically remember his first game against the Panthers as a Bear, he played lights out.  Remember him shushing the crowd after an interception?

I don't know our record against him, but have we ever beaten him?

Anyway, not to derail my own thread but I know football is a business and he didn't want to be here, I just thought the way he left town was pretty crappy.  I'm sure there was mistakes made on both sides of the negotiations, but a lot of his fans were pretty upset none the less.  He will go down as one of the best defensive Panthers ever. 

Anyway, if the Panthers win this game, for me and I know many of you, bearing Pep will be extra icing on the cake.

keep pounding

They wouldn't give Peppers the money he wanted, I think he wanted to stay though. Until he realized he wasn't gonna get the money, then he definitely got pissed off.

I'm pretty sure it's the complete opposite actually. Marty Hurney made him an offer to be the highest paid DE in the league..

Don't really care anymore. Remember he was about to come back here last year before the packers swooped in. It's too bad now, he would be huge for us.

 

its gonna be a lot more of a pain in the ass to play hardy. Peppers may have been motivated to beat us, but I worry that hardy, who is crazy, will have worse intentions against Cam.

Peppers is irrelevant at this point  

I'm more excited about the possibility of going 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, gaining a leg up for home field advantage in the playoffs, and cementing ourselves as the best team in the NFC.

Lol wut.

Holding on to grudges is non productive unless you enjoy being angry and feeling like a victim. If "sticking it to Pep" is your #1 motivation for watching the game, I think your priorities are out of whack.

      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.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
