How do you feel, now, after dissing Pep?

Agree with Mintal.

It is NOT reasonable at all. A person forming his/her personal opinion of a man based on the amount of idolic toys and jerseys that person has is maybe one of the most UNreasonable and immature methods ever. I would expect if out of a toddler...maybe. If you post here you should be adult enough to understand the risks and rewards of buying sports memorabilia and not throw a temper-tantrum if some of your dolls don't represent the "current" employment situations of the players they are supposed to symbolize.

No it's not, it's not reasonable at all. They bought those jerseys, etc. based upon what he has done in the past, not on what he's going to do in the future. I mean, that would be stupid and I don't think most people are stupid. I keep going back to a Sandal Bergman line in the movie Conan, "Do you want to live forever". Do you really expect a player to stay with your team forever?

It's not rational, and sometimes things like being a fan isn't supposed to be rational. Especially for many fans I know they think in emotional terms when it comes to football because at its core football is an emotional sport.

Agree with Mintal.

I see a lot more people complaining about "temper tantrums" than I see the people on whom these complaints are based. I do see people who are unhappy with the situation, for whatever reason, which I'm sure you can understand.

My authentic 90 jersey is still hanging in my closet next to my 79, 89, and 17.

(79 will be my jersey of choice for the next 10 years though.)

Man I wish I knew what fan was short for.

Oscillating fan's are the best. Especially with the little misters attached.

In some cases, "fantasy".

I was a huge Pep fan. I dissed him and will continue to diss him. He is not in Carolina b/c he wants to be here. Come on, the guy is getting 16.7 million this year and has been whining like a baby.

This isn't over...Let's see how he handles himself in training camp and this season. Anyone that has followed Peppers knows that he can take plays or seasons off. How do we know that he will not have one of his "let's take this season off and collect 16.7 million years"? Jury still out.

I think that will come more from Meeks than Pep and Brown being on the field together. But the two of them will defiantly help....

I see you are already planning on putting most of the credit on Meeks, and not the talent. :crazy:

Players, and coaches get both the credit, and blame.

[mantal]

There's no longer sense in talking about it. Some just won't ever get it...

I'll tell you what, whenever you boo, I'll yeah louder...

[pantherclaw]

Guys like Beason, Smith, Williams, Hoover...they love being here, they love Carolina and they love this team. I admire those guys, but I can no longer say the same for malcontent, whining Julius Peppers.

The guy did love being here. He played out his entire contract, with nothing but class. Then, when he had a shot at free agency, he said he wanted out. And now all I see is people crying.

He'll be back, and something tells me that he'll be glad to be back.

No. I'm putting it on Meeks to bring the talent out of these player's more than the last DC did. And if he does, we will have an awesome defense this year.

[pantherclaw]

It's pretty simple if your given lemons make lemonade. Pep just found out pretty darn quick the league doesn't find him elite.

Really?

Seems to me everything I have heard and read, everyone considers Peppers elite. That being said, you don't give up 2 first round draft picks to a DE that will command one of the largest contracts for a defender. No matter the talent, that is to much to give up ~ cept for possibly an all pro QB. And even then, Cutler was under contract when he was traded.

[pantherclaw]

It just boggles my mind how many people got their panties wadded because a man who no longer had a contract expressed a desire to look for greener pastures. He didn't rape your wife. He expressed a desire to go elsewhere after fulfilling his contract, yes, he played out his contract. Let me repeat that, he played out his contract, he owed the Panthers and the fans nothing, nothing. Why take it so personal? I'm glad I'm not around you guys, I might inadvertently walk by you without bowing down on my knees and risk getting shot or something. You have a much too high sense of entitlement. You think you own Peppers? Slavery has been outlawed for over 100 years...

:rant:

:eek: That is fall out of the chair funny!!!!

And so true.
