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

The Peppers story is pretty minimal at this point.  Peppers is still a good player in spurts.  Still very athletic even at his age in the NFL.  We have to be careful of that this Sunday.

Peppers left because he was basically going to be KING of NC and he didn't want a part of that.  Can't blame him for wanting to go elsewhere, live elsewhere and make a crap ton of money, but not be forced to LEAD the State.

How many Super Bowls does he have as a Bear or Packer?  NFC Championships?  It's a wash, time to let it go and just enjoy some football.

Then that's my bad, I wasn't aware. I thought he was never happy with their offer. Either way, I was always a Pep fan, but Sunday I hope we run it down his fuging throat

Don't believe the hype! Peppers wanted a a long term contract, but Hurney basically stonewalled him and ticked him off.

I know. They did offer him a big contract, but it was after the season he had 14 and a half sacks I think. The year before that he only had 2 and half and they weren't hearing his contract negotiations.

I'll say this I would have loved to have Pep back when he went to GB. Him and Cam in the same team would be legendary. I mean Christ imagine if we got Smitty back too. That would be so sick.

However, I don't like the way he left. If it's true that Jerry pissed him off then Peppers is a big baby. Asking him to be a bigger leader after making him the highest paid player in the league isn't that much to ask. He probably knew that doing so would mean he'd get called out for disappearing against back up TEs.

The thing is every single theory about the situation surrounding why he left is complete speculation coming from this message board. There isn't a single thing to suggest that he left due to being upset with Richardson or being gay. It's all just random theories.

And he never took over a playoff game.  If you wanna be a great then show up when it matters most. 

eh, KK Short wasn't great last week.  Neither was Davis. Colts gameplan limited their ability to impact that game.  Wasn't a lack of effort on their part.

Peppers was our primary defensive weapon.  Good teams try to minimize their ability to influence a game.  Unrealistic expectations.  JJ Watt disappears.  Hardy disappears.  Name any elite DE/DT and there are tons of games each season they appear to do little.

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.

Fug Hardy and the horses his misfit teammates ride in on.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      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.
