Peppers was warmly received by the home crowd Sunday, but said that he didn't think much about it.

"I really didn’t care, really," Peppers said. "The only people who I care about who receive me well are these guys in this locker room, my coaches, my family and friends.”

Pep should be jaded towards the fans. If he underperforms he is ripped by the fans but if he plays well then it's just 'well he's supposed to'. People think because he's a freak of an athlete that his stats should be freakishly high but that's just not how it works.

that is how it is suppose to be. you think Jake is suppose to care what the fans think? this is a job for these guys, they have to worry about teammates and playing......if they get right what they are suppose to care about.....the fanbase will ultimately be happy.

agreed...

He had an outstanding game on Sunday and still I've seen people post stupid poo like, "he got it in garbage time"... that fool was running all around the field making plays at the beginning of the game and throughout...

Hell, I don't/wouldn't care what half of you think either, cause a lot of people here have problems putting things in perspective.. that or just like to make dumbass comments without putting any thought into their opinion.

and when you hear, "got it in garbage time"... that's the ONLY way it can be taken.

This is so wrong on so many levels.

Fans, are 'customers'. They are customers of the product Jerry Richardson puts on the field.

'Customers' buy tickets, buy jerseys, buy concessions. Tickets bought assure no blackouts in the local region. Customers bring their families to games and ensure the lifeline of continuing ticket sales.

If I made a statement, to my company that I didn't care about my 'customers'. I assure you, I'd be out in 5 seconds.

Julius should learn to simply keep his mouth shut. If he must speak, then represent his 'company' well, and at least attempt to say the right thing to those people who buy tickets that along with TV and concessions pay his bloody, over-rated salary.

Rant done.

Honestly, no player should be concerned about whether or not the fans will be acceptive or not. Fans prove time and time again to overreact to things.

Peppers and any players concerns should be the ones he mentioned...friends, family, teammates, coaches, and owner.

Fans will either get over it, and accept him, or continue to be immature, and begrate him at every chance.

    • Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.     
    • It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.
    • Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
