Brentson Buckner rips Peppers on WFNZ

[Matt Foley]

The former number two in the Panthers communications department was really tight with Julius (he's now with the Jets). No wonder he always looked askew at Buckner.

[Johnny Rockets]

Now if a couple of players still on the team would do it.

They asked Buck about that last week also and without going into much detail he said that they are not allowed to. He said it is the younger/newer guys on the team like Chris Harris, Beason, etc that give 120% would love to do that but for whatever reason are not allowed to. He basically said the organization has always handled Pep with "kid gloves". Something tells me you may hear some players speak out once he is gone.

Funny thing is, if Beason left the team after next season the fans would be ripping him on this board, just as they are doing to Pep now.

Should be a nice long thread that day. I just hope I;m here early enough to read it, instead of catching up.

Yeah, I saw how the Dolphins did. I also saw the Panthers finish with a better record and a first round bye. Both teams lost their first playoff game.

Did you see how the Dolphins did last year 1-15 and mad a remarkable recovery to get to the playoffs. As far as I am concerned they wanted it more than us. Hell everyone wanted more than the Panther because we lost by 20 or so points.

I dunno, the difference being in some people's eyes Peppers has not met expectations (although they were set very high) and has not given 100% while here, not sure anyone in their right mind could say that about Beason.

But then again....how many people on here are in their right mind....

It won't damage his stock.

Buck said some stupid team will spend a gazillion and pay Pep the big money but they would be making a mistake.

He used several examples and comparisomns of other players like James Harrison in Pittsburg, said no matter is blocking them they make waves. Said Peppers lets rookie and 2nd string Olineman shut him down.

Depends on how he left now doesn't it.

I still like Pep as a player and anything Buck says means NOTHING to me... remember we let him go b/c he was a cancer in the locker room, and he was playing poorly

so Buckner isnt the best gauge to go by

He is a better gauge than a bunch of fans on a message board. This guy was in the trenches with him.

[Doc Holiday]

Buckner's been bitching about Peppers since before he got his show, I know with how things are going at the moment people are listening to him more but he is just being bitter that he never was able to make the money that Peppers has been making and is going to make.

Certainly Buck has an agenda when it comes to Peppers.

But alot of what he said is obvious.

Pep disappears in big games, he does get handled when he should dominate, ie rookie ol and 2nd stringers, he does take plays off, and to come out and says the Panthers help me back is a pussy way of doing things.

Beason will never quit on us for an entire season like Peppers did in 2007.
