You can't just look at sacks because I don't think Pepper's comes close, you have to look at where Pep gets his sacks. For instance two years ago he had like 14 or 15 sacks, yet 5 or so came from the 0-16 Lions and another 4 or so from the 2-14 Buccs. He had more than half his sacks for the whole season in those two single games vs. horrible teams. Stats don't mean poo, they are just guide to good players but if you dig deeper you'll find who is really great.

If you guys can say JP single handily won games for the Panthers, is it fair to say he single handily lost games for the Panthers?

I feel Pep on being an isolated/introverted/private type of guy... I'm that way myself. I have no problem getting along with everyone, I just don't prefer having many people in my inner circle.

That being said, I'm not following him in this "bash Charlotte and the Panthers" fest... I'd get pissed off if there were people posted up outside my house, but I'd let them know about it. I've dealt with it before, probably not to the degree he did, but still. Also, being introverted or isolated doesn't mean you aren't able to speak, generally you don't prefer to. That's my approach. Just because I don't go out of my way to greet someone unless they do so first doesn't mean I can't speak when called upon (in class for instance). I've performed athletically in front of crowds and had to give speeches or do presentations in class, as many of you have... So, that was no excuse as to why he didn't speak more when he was here.

I stay to myself often b/c I don't want people in my business, so I get that, but going to a bigger market claiming it makes you invisible while babbling to whoever will listen and buying entire clubs bottles of champagne and going out nightly negates that. It actually is going to make him even more visible than he was here. So let him have at it.

What doesn't make sense to me is that it appears he went out of his way to not speak with media when he was here and make himself seen, but in a matter of a month there he's done more interviews than he did here in 8 years. To me, this suggests it was a matter of choice rather than habit... Much like how he chose when to and when not to play.

Say what you will Pep, but you can't change the fact that NC is your home, no matter how much you hate it. I too am considering a move out of state to a larger city, but I don't plan on sh*tting on NC once I'm gone... (just a few cities, lol)

He's really looking like a lame for this.

Bears defense is going to be studly(if healthy) but it doesn't change their offense is one of the worst in the leagues(even the Rams have a better offensive line than Bears..)

Matt Forte is a beast of a back but will have another fail season behind that line. and unless they somehow find a stud o-linemen late in the draft(which likely won't happen) or trade 2011 picks they have no sure way of making a good offensive line.

Bad offensive line + gun slinger QB who makes bad decisions + mediocre inexperienced receivers(aside from that WR whose name I cannot spell :P he has potential) + no run game because of bad offensive line + no 1st and 2nd round picks = ???????

At least you can look forward to coaching staff/front office getting canned if they fail this season, and they will have a good/great defense for the next few years.

I don't get how his whole thing about going to CHI was to be less of the star, and to be more private. Yet every CHI press conference or interview has made some reference to him being the "savior" with all of these lofty expectations, and him being even more vocal as a leader. I just don't understand the contradictions.

well, there are quite a few people who are angry about peppers leaving, but people like us, who understand the business side of the NFL, understand that pep's additude was going to become a cancer, and that for the 20+ million we would have had to pay him, we can sign 3 good players. everything will be fine in the end.

People are angry at the fact that we saw this coming and we should have traded him..but we did not
