"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

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
