Would you fire Carl Carey?

Maybe they actually knew what was going on..... Perhaps there was a medical reason behind his poor play... Just say'n.

Yes, I think he should be fired but has long been a father figure to Pep so there's very little chance that actually happens. Carey may be peppers biggest problem right now.

Sometimes fathers and sons dont mix well in sports business. Good example is Roy Jones and Roy Jones Jr. Both are great apart. Carry needs to see what he has done and start to mend the fence so to speak with the Panthers.

I think he advised him wrongly. Told him not to sign the tender and that he would work out the deal. I also think Casey was behind the 4 team bit. He must have thought that would make it easier on him when infact it was just the opposite.

It has never been about the money. Carolina tried to lock him up last offseason. He was offered big bucks back then. And didn't sign.

Go Panthers

He has misled him right into 17m....

but he doesn't have 17m, he has 0. he won't have 17m until when/if he signs the tender. and by advising him not to sign it, Carey has led him into either sitting on his ass this season, or doing exactly what the Panthers want. he has no other options.

I think he should fire Carey and go back to his old agent. Friends and business is not always a good mix!!

well, I'm a firm believer we don't know anything about what Peppers really wants and what has really occured.....so it is tough to say what kind of job he has done. Getting hearsay in the media doesn't really give us any insight to the truth of the situation.

Reed on Pep per an anonymous teammate:

http://www.carolinagrowl.com/Read.aspx?Story=1076

"With Pep, it wouldn't surprise me if he shows up and plays one year, if he signs a long term contract here or if he just up and said, 'OK, I'm going to retire,'" said that same Peppers' teammate. "Nothing would surprise me with him."

I agree. I said long ago if I could see any player just saying eff it and sitting out all season it's him.

i saw that quote this morning and it did strike me as something that was weird to see but made sense.

he is an odd fellow. him just flat out retiring wouldn't surprise me either.

nothing would at this point.
