WHY, WHy, Why...

[PantherPhann]

First off: Why would we not give Peppers the option to rotate his position on the field at his leisure?

Second: Why did we not pair Peppers and Charles Johnson more as bookends, instead of having Johnson as Pepps backup.

Third: Why did or did Johnson play this good when Pepp was still on our roster?

We lost one of the best if not the best DE's in the league, found a replacement that was already on the roster and we're still short a DE. Maybe Hardy will step up next year when given a chance. Can our current coaching staff not evaluate the talent we have well enough to gameplan to their individual potential? Why

Johnson did play this well while Peppers was here. He was just a victim of Fox's bs loyalty to certain players last season.

First, Peppers isn't a Panther anymore, who cares.

He seemed to have about the same level of production while he was here. Not that big a deal.

Water under the bridge no point discussing this now... Peppers is gone, Fox is soon to be gone.

dramatic thread titles should only be used in the event that we miss out on Luck or Harbaugh

Johnson, like many other players for the Panthers never got the playing time he deserved thanks to John Fox's lack to evaluate talent. Johnson had a great rookie season and should of started last year but No way he starts over Peppers. I honestly think we could of traded Peppers last year and let Johnson start. That way we could of at least got something for Peppers.

I think Gary Barnidge has the potential to be a great receiving TE but thanks to Fox we wont get to see him reach his full potential until we get a new coach. Which could be too late.

man, I know I've asked this before - who's this peppers guy people keep bringing up?

First, I made the thread, so I care.

Second: any Panther fan should care. You can't learn anything about your future without looking at your past. Yes Peppers is gone, water under the bridge, right Catman. We can't do anything about that and I wasn't asking any of you to bring him back. My point was simply how good we would've been when he was here IF Johnson was playing at the level he is now, then. And if he could've played at that level then, how could our coaching staff have missed that?
