"I came right back and got right into the groove of things, met the coaches," said Peppers. "And it went pretty smooth. There haven’t been many bumps at all.”

Peppers said he's excited about playing in the new scheme being installed by first-year defensive coordinator Ron Meeks.

"After a couple of more practices and a couple more weeks of playing, we should get some of the mistakes that were made tonight cleaned up and hopefully be a pretty good defense," he said.

Peppers said he was welcomed back by his teammates.

"I think everybody has contract situations or whatever the case may be," he said. "It has nothing to do with any personal relationships on the team or the football side of it."

This shows that Pep had a change of heart once we got a new DC and changed our philosophy on defense. Pep was tired of Turdo's bullsh*t and the way he was being used.

No it shows it was all about the money. The last two lines explaines the whole deal.

I think since being a vocal leader was one of the cards played against him/hurney in possible trade scenarios explored or not, that we may be hearing a lot more out of ol' pep this season. If so, that may mean he still wants out.

I am going to be watching him very closely to see if he is molding himself into trade form off the field as well as on it.

If it were all about money why didn't he sign that deal after his worst year that would have made him the highest paid defensive player in the NFL?

I will never think it was all about money with him.

It had nothing to do with the money. We had the money to offer and we were willing to offer it to him, so it wasn't about the money at all.

I truly think he just wanted a change of scenery. But now that he's back on the team he has to say all the right things. The business part of the game has to be separate from than game itself.

No it doesn't. Pep is just saying what he is suppose to. He could have been tired of Trgo....it could be Fox....it could be the 4-3....it could just be NC. Pep is simply a high character guy. Shoot, talk to some legit Indy fans and get their opinion on Meeks.....he isn't an improvement coming to Carolina. Lateral move at best. Pep is here for a year and will give it his all.....that is all we know imo.

NOT a money thing. If it was a money thing he would have taken the early offer or never narrowed his expectations trade wise to such a small grouping.

He wanted change and effected it through Hurney all while guaranteeing some do-re-me in the process.

I think it played beautifully for him and we will see if now it plays beautifully for us. For now all signs point to ...it's possible.

Me either.

Money is a part of it, but not nearly as big as some may think it.

Is it scheme....or just really wanting to get out of the state that he has been in since birth....or something else...

we may never find out.

It's about his relationship with the head coach.

I guess time will tell

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
