Peppers wants out.

[MadHatter]

Pep wants to play OLB because he thinks he can rush the QB without having to consistently beat OLinemen. In short, Pep is too fuging lazy to play DE...plain and simple. If he gets blocked at the point of attack, he lets up. He thinks coing from OLB would allow him to run free.

With the production he has shown on the field, I would rather take that 17M per season and get other players. Let him go.

so is this the start of our colapse?

terrible playoff loss.. loss of our best Defensive player.. possible loss of our best O-lineman.. QB shaken.. and down -down -down from here???

We still have our best Defensive player his name is Beason.

Yeah, we're solid at LB and despite production the secondary is good. We just need a new scheme, but if Peps is gone, the DL is weak.

If we get a first round pick... Mark it down... Tyson Jackson or Michael Johnson in the 1st!

"But Carey said there’s a specific desire to play in a 3-4 system, where he could stand up as an outside linebacker and roam the field making plays, like a DeMarcus Ware or a Shawne Merriman."

-Darin Gantt

This why if Trgovac isn't gone by Tuesday, you can bet Fox will be at the end of next season..

Hahah, bring back Dom Capers as our DC.

Beason and Peppers. Instead of Salt and Pepper, Pepper and Pepper.

like i said, personnel wise the Panthers could be very good. their talent defensively has shifted dramatically to the back seven. if they utilized their talents by employing schemes that used their strengths, they could be just as good as the 2003 defense.

but nope, gonna rush four, drop everyone back thirty yards, ignore the tight end and hope for the best.

I agree.

i dont wont either of them...we need a play maker now and those two have high bust potential

[photoguync]

All I want to know is, how come anyone is surprised by any of this? I knew it when he didn't sign that whopper of a contract we offered him. JR's locker room call out was just icing on his cake. I don't think firing turbo crap will make any difference, in spite of Samuel L Jackson's optimism. Pep's been an ex Panther since Sept 07 IMHO.

[troywjones]

well, there it is. Franchise him and hang a for sale sign around his neck.

Yeah I agree put the franchise tag on him sign gross and don't take less than a first rounder for him. I really think we would get that. People want him. Kinda BS that he wants to leave after all carolina has done for him.

And what, exactly, has Carolina done for him?

[mantal]

Meh, it is what it is...

[DawgzLife]

i feel sick.

this is the worst ive ever felt as a panther fan.

Too bad you weren't around for the 2001 season!

[BlackandBlueBlood]

this really pisses me off. I have always been a pep fan, i watched him in college and was thrilled when we drafted him. This makes me almost as sick as i was last week.
