Is Peppers trying to force a trade?

[Matt Foley]

And is there tampering going on here?

[Fiz]

the deadline to trade a franchised player has passed, as has been discussed ad nauseam

[CRA]

No. Everyone is playing like crap. Steve Smith, Jon Beason, Chris Gamble....all of the so called stars aren't playing up to par. Peppers just has the biggest paycheck but there is something wrong across the board in Carolina.

That would suggest it's a complete team problem. The whole team is playing crappy, so, what is the actual problem? Coaching? The entire organization? Paychecks? A bad record?

They don't have to worry about the money; they make enough of it. The record means nothing, as long as you make it to the playoffs. They have the heart and the skill to excel, I just can't understand why they can't take advantage of both. They've looked lethargic in every single game.
