Peppers situation: A blessing in disguise?

[hdevonxz]

Positives:

Frees a lot of cap space

Draft picks/players

Getting younger

With an even weaker defensive line Fox/Trgo will be forced to change their scheme. Hopefully they'll realize we don't have the same defensive lineman we did 6 years ago.

Negatives

losing great player

add your own.

You can spin anything. The truth is we're losing a one-of-a-kind player because he wants to move on, and we have no idea what we're gonna get for him.

Let's hope it ends well.

Until you see what we get for Peppers... it's tough to say and how his career plays out, it's tough to say.

I really don't know what to think of Peppers, as a person. I think calling out the team really hurt his trade value for us. After all the Panthers have done for him, I think that was a low blow. Not that anybody outside of Charlotte has any sympathy for our franchise due in part to that.

I would trade Peppers for the Obama girl.

Hey yall..First time posting here! Peppers has been a great player in Carolina. I know we are all sad to see him go. In all reality, I am suprised that half the team does not pack up and go with him. So much talent on this team and not alot to show for it! Fox and Jake need to hit the road... (Thats my opinion). Carolina needs to franchise tag peppers and trade him to Detriot to nab up all the goodies in draft picks they have to offer. Pay tons of $$$ for Matt Castle and wait for next year to pick up Bill Cower! But only if this was a perfect world!:nopity:

Damn dude....not bad for a first post....welcome :eek:

I guess if we had a dominate d-line this year and were losing him, it would be worse, but at least we know it was pretty bad WITH him so it won't be a big drop off if we don't do well lol.

Thanks Kyle! Feels like home on this site! Im from Idaho and I am probably "THE ONLY" Carolina Panthers fan here in this state. So its good to know there are some die-hard Carolina fans out there to share my pain about our loss to Arizona. You guys are right, our defense didnt show up to play the last couple of games we had, so obviously Peppers was not that significant of a player to have made much of a differance. The only reason why it hurts to see him go, is the simple fact that maybe some of the other players (like Smith, Williams, Stewart, Muhammad, Goss) might get it in their minds that Carolina is not the place to be if they want to win a superbowl, and it wont be so long as Jake and Fox are around!

Cowher sucks balls. We don't need him. No team is going to win the superbowl every year, some of you really need to get a grip on that reality. 12-4 is a great record, so there is something to show for the talent the team has.. which is not as much talent as some of you want to believe (on defense). Will a superbowl victory come? Who knows. You don't know and I don't know. It's funny how so many are crowing for Cowher after we lost in the playoffs. Cowher lost in the playoffs every year he was there but one, and the one year he did win the Superbowl, he would have lost if not for a lot of officiating help.

Hey Eater! Nobody remembers 2nd place! Fox needs out just because he is way too easy on these guys. Carolina needs ACCOUNTABILITY and it is not gonna happen with fox around! Fox defended Jake after the loss to Arizona. That was not a "bad day" for Jake, that was a complete screw up! Now I dont know about you but, even though I didnt smoke weed and did any drugs or ever bring the police home to my parents, but everytime I screwed up, my father would woop my ass! ACCOUNTABILITY! Jake has done the same old bull poo over and over again, and If he doesnt do what he is being paid for (Deliver the ball to CAROLINA players) then fire his ass! Same goes for Fox. Denver fired their coach (he even brought 2 superbowl trophies home), why then should we stick with Fox? I have not seen any tophies in our case yet! So bring a new start and see where it takes us! We cant do any worse. Remember NOBODY remembers 2nd place!!!:banghead:

So did your daddy take you out in the middle of the street and woop your ass at a press conference? Or did he do it quietly in house?

Are you sure that Fox didn't "woop" jakes ass in private?
