Official Peppers bitch/whine thread. And TRADE IDEAS HERE!!!!

[Lt Pinkerton]

Rod Marinelli had his team playing hard during their 0-16 season.

I think most of us agree that the defensive scheme/coaching on the Panthers suck, so I dont blame Pep for getting fed up with the coaching. Pep, to his fault, is not a vocal person, which leaves the coaches to read his mind/body language. Instead of speaking out about something being wrong, Pep just went through the motions and didnt stir up a media mess. It must be bad when Pep, Carolinas best player ever, doesnt want to resign with his home team for a ton of money.

I knew this last year. He told a team doctor he had lost respect for [the coaching staff]. Never was let out who he meant though it was obvious. Now we know. See ya, Pep. Have fun making money and piling on sacks elsewhere.

everybody wanted to know what the hell the problem was with pep...

now we know not just from this post but from pep's agent releasing that statement. what sensible player looks at a 14.5 sack and 40 something QB hurry season that ended with a playoff bye and says that he needs something different?

this has been in his mind since atleast 07 and if thats the case and he throws up a terrible 07 and then in his contract year (already knowing he wants out) puts up 14.5 without a major scheme change (LE to RE is not a major scheme change).

i say lets take our loss here and try to get enough to replace his productivity

thats all the NFL should be about anyways PRODUCTIVITY not player names, where they went to school, or how long they have been here

Me thinks a lot of Panthers fans are overestimating our defensive talent. Hell, most people thought our D-line was going to be very weak before this season started, but now they're a group of studs that the coaches don't know how to use. How did that happen without any personnel changes in between opinion changes?

New England has been doing this and has won lots of SB with it. I still thing we need a better game planner then Trgo cause he is just not good at it or adjustments.

[MyDrunkardNC]

[Cyberjag]

"Although he had 14.5 sacks this season, Peppers hasn't been happy in Carolina for quite some time. When Peppers was playing miserably in 2007 (just 2.5 sacks), I asked a teammate about the widespread rumors that something might be wrong physically. The teammate laughed, said no and pointed to his head.

The teammate went on to say that Peppers had stopped buying into Fox and simply was going through the motions."

Am I the only person wondering why Pat decided to write this NOW? Where was this quote in 2007, Pat?

This reminds me of Tom Sorensen when he trashed Keyshawn after the Panthers cut him.

[monstercat]

BTW, did y'all know that the Panthers defense had the exact same number of sacks (34) as the Ravens did this season? You can't tell me that the Panthers have more defensive talent than they do.
