A Peppers question

[ladypanther]

Sorry for another Peppers thread.........but......

Just read the nice post/thread by the Bears fan. Got me to thinking about Peppers again. And then thinking about him and the Bears...that brings up Cutler, brings up INT's brings up Jake.

That got me to wonder....does Pep disappear when the offense sucks (such as the Arizona playoff debacle?)

Seemed like Pep was a beast when Moore was playing QB last year. So, does good offense get you good Peppers' effort? Does he lose interest if the O is not producing?

Is there a correlation here over time?

Pepper's is very good at disappearing but he is easy to find, he's where the money is.

He was probably pumped once we had a QB that quit shoving the defense out on the field. I remember him running out to high five Moore I think during the giants or vikings game.

But I also think peppers started playing well at the end of the year to get potential employer's potential.

If he had started that earlier....he might have broken some records....meaning $$$$$$. Most playing for contract this year guys start sooner.

I think like all players, the more you play the more tired you would get. So ya I think the less he played the more he could put out on the field.

The whole disappearing argument is stupid cause no one can dominate everyone every play in a game.

He will always be a panther in my eyes and I hope he retires as one.

pep ran down the field when somebody broke a long td and started to show emotion after the helm was turned over to matt.so i think you might be on to something.i would have rather he stayed but, the owner didnt.remember you dont let valuable players walk away from your team.

he was insanely expensive though. I'd rather pay the guys who want to retire here like TD.

We wouldn't be getting our money's worth anyway, him staying would make him sad and then he would never give 100%.

[DaCityKats]

so we could have got 2 de's but we didnt.jerry is sitting on that money and i thought he was worth most of that money.with the way he ended last season you could say that he did want remain with the panthers and retire.

Pep showed up the 2nd half of last season because he needed to show he could still play and put up #'s. Just like he did towards the end of the season prior.

Sadly I think the Bears will get Peppers we saw his first three years here. The bears will get that Pep for maybe one or two season and that will be it.

I'm fully prepared for Peppers to have a big year, he's going to feel the need to prove himself for the first time in a long time.

[Jangler]

Yes, he shut down when the Panthers got down. Will he do that with the Bears? I guess if it happens week after week, he will be at the bank by November. Who knows with Cutler, he doesn't have Tommy Jone to blame for peaks sake!

My guess is that he will start off big, but the rest of the year depends on the offense. If Cutler is Cutler again.......

[PantherDude]

he's where the money is.

Even the joke on my sig. said so. :D

I doubt Pep play better when the QB play good or not. I think he's just play better whenever he want to. :svengo:

[brandon_87]

she has a point, the only game I can think of that peppers did good in where the O sucked was 2 years ago at oakland, but it was oakland...... lol it does seem like good O pumps him up
