Julius Peppers

[Tarheels23]

I really don't remember the media being all over his dick when he played here.. Now in Chicago, it's Peppers this, Peppers that, It's just annoying. He's no better now than he was when he played here.

I notice the same thing, and I agree totally!

Put Clay Matthews motor into Pep... you'll see what people are hating on...

there is already one of those....his name is Jared Allen. He disappears in games as well.

dumb play

[Davidson Deac II]

The Carolina Panthers had the 32nd ranked offense.

The Chicago Bears had the 30th ranked offense

Peppers dominated this season. He was a big reason that team just finished playing in the NFCCG.

There is no DE that can show up and dominate every game. They all "disappear in games".

He gave us great years and moved on. No need to hate on the guy.

He played pretty well, and made some big plays, but was hardly dominant.

Allen doesn't have peppers' freak athleticism.

Watching Pappers play football is like playing "Where"s Waldo". He disappears in big games.

DPOY my ass...and I just watched the game with the Beat Down club. They were saying the same thing.

Cutler and Peppers....choke artists to the nth degree.

true.

I just can't think of 1 DE that has played in the past 10 yrs that doesn't disappear. Great DEs simply can disappear....especially those in a 4-3 running a cover 2 heavy scheme.

Allen was regarded by most here as the best DE in the NFL Peppers' last season. He disappeared that year in games......especially after the comments were made after his primetime game early that season.

Does this thread exist if the Bears had won today?

I wonder.

[Jackofalltrades]

Yep, it was started during the game.

[Jackofalltrades]

You mean Cover 2 heavy as it depend heavily on their front four to generate pressure? He also has a good line to take presssure off of him and erasers for LB's behind him. He is now official out of excuses.

Does this thread exist if Peppers had at least 1 sack and several hurries?

fixed.

[Kevin Greene]

Cutler getting love in Chicago too.

what excuses? I don't think there was a DE in football that played better than him this season.

again, the Bears were the 30th ranked offense this year. The D got them that far. He can't be expected to be dominate every single game. Not realistic for a DE.

this ain't fantasy football where guys like Charles Johnson are better b/c the stat sheet is better.
