Peppers is a Bear

Peppers was probably my favorite Panthers player of all time. But now, I'm obviously no longer a fan of his. No hard feelings, but I pull for the Panthers and Pep is not a Panther so his #90 jersey is officially retired in my closet never to be worn again.

See that's how it's done.

He was mine too, and I generally like to look at things from the player's point of view, but that's why I lost respect for Pep in this situation.

I can understand a guy wanting to be in a bigger market and all that, but the way Pep handled it pissed me off. It was insulting and he lied. Just say if you don't want to be here, I can respect that.

You got me, but he said he did, then he didn't, then he did, then he didn't.

When he signed the tender he said he wanted a long-term deal and then this year he said he didn't want it anymore. It was bullshit.

I misspoke, I meant he wasn't clear about what he wanted b/c he waffled and led us on. When really we never had a chance. I really meant to say, he should've gave us the reason why instead of going back and forth.

He said he didnt beginning of last year. Then after a new DC and after he signed the tender, he said he wanted the long term contract but Marty didn't get it done. Then after this season he didn't want to return. After reading some stories about Pep, he was probably hurt that a long term deal wasn't reached with our FO and that there was no effort still by the FO after the season until it was too late. Oh well its over now.

That's not how I interpreted it, but you could be right. I think he let Carey pull the strings, and as hard as Hurney made it on us last year to keep him under the tag, I have a hard time buying that we didn't make a lucrative offer more than once.

just makes you wonder about last season

If it was well known within the clubhouse that he wanted out and nobody was going to be able to motivate this guy, why not trade him last year, but no, we pay him 18m. kinda like a wife that gets beaten all the time but cannot leave the husband that they hope will turn it around.

pretty pitiful coach and management.

That and the cry fest today makes you wonder
