how is that more important than actual performance?

we should have traded this guy. I was saying it all offseason but the huddle seemed convinced we were a better team with him on the squad. We may be better, but we're not $17 million better...

It's basically a testament to how the Panthers are to blame, not Pep...

They paid him, and yet refuse to adjust and allow players to play to their strengths...

I don't blame Pep for wanting out.. Put him on a 3-4, or even a 4-3 that actually makes adjustments and isn't vanilla, and he'd get all these sacks you're obsessed over...

I'd pay him $20 Mil to keep him here..

If you want to be mad about money, be mad about Jake Delhomme...

So the nut huggers tell the haters that sacks aren't everything. And now you're using sacks to tell me how great he is? Not buyin it homey! Peppers isn't consistent. He might get 10 sacks per year, but he gets 3 sacks against Oakland and 2 sacks against Kansas City, etc. I don't care if he gets 30 sacks a year. The dude doesn't bring it every play of every game. O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D

Sacks are not everything, but you can't overlook an average of 10 per season. If it's so easy to get sacks against KC and Oakland then why doesn't one of the OLB's on the Chargers or DE's on the Broncos lead the league in sacks every year?

I'd love to hear who you would suggest we replace him with? I guess Brayton, Brown and Johnson are really lazy because none of them come close to JP in sacks...

I get it, you hate Peppers - he's the highest paid player on the team so that's where's you're going to direct your hatred...

I'm sorry, I can't take your opinion seriously with that Cowher avatar, you really think Cowher is our savior? How long did Cowher toil in Pittsburgh before winning that championship? How long did it take Pittsburgh to find a replacement and win another championship?

Bill Cowher coached the Steelers for 15 seasons. 1992-2006. He had 11 winning seasons, 3 losing seasons, and one 8-8 (his final year). He also won 8 division titles! I'm not even talking about Championships. I'm talking about have two winning years in a row (something Fox and company can't do). Sorry, if you want to settle for mediocrity every year with Fox, that's your business. I feel we deserve better!

I could have suited up and played as well as Peppers yesterday. ANY DE on the team could have done what Peppers did. So what's the difference. When you get his cock out of your mouth come talk to me. I'm done with this.

sacks? why would I give a poo about sacks? Sacks are the only reason people think Peppers is a dominant player. They look at his sack stats over the years, and they think he's one of the greatest defensive ends in NFL history. What panther fans see come gametime is a player with no heart, no effort, no consistency, downright doesn't give a poo, and also has the best disappearing act in the NFL. Why do you think nobody would offer us poo for Peppers? Because we didn't want to trade him? yeah, right.

sorry bro, if you get a hard-on every time you see peppers play to the point you'd throw $20 million at him for doing nothing, that's your business, but don't try to convince us he's worth his paycheck when he's getting a couple of tackles per game, and that it's all the coaches' fault. The coaches make him lazy and worthless...right. He's overrated and overpaid, and we messed up by keeping him here, get over it. If we had $17 million more dollars we could have spent it on a defense...but peppers is sooo totally worth it...

$17 million more is in your pocket...

Now, tell me who was out there that you go and spend it on without a trade...

Yes, because the first rule of business is that you tell all the local reporters what goes on behind the scenes...

At least with GM speak I would have figured that they would have said "We did have offers, but none were satisfactory" or something of that nature....but Gantt's article flat out said he was told they didn't get an offer.

Not that anyone here would believe it, but I heard the same rumblings before the report came out...

What he said. People are ready for any chance they get to pounce on Pep if he doesn't make a sack. John Abraham got the same production as Pep yesterday, 2 tackles despite having a monster day Week 1 just like Pep also. Man I guess Abraham sucks now.

Big difference between Pep and Abraham in Week 1 --------- The falcons WON.

Pep piled up stats in a blowout loss. How about piling up some stats in a win!! Now I know that will happen, Pep will eventually (hopefully) have his game or two where he looks dominant but the bottom line for me is the D-Line sucks with him so it cant be any worse without him. This franchise needs to learn how to move on. Look what happened when they moved on from Foster at RB - they ended up with D.Will and Stewart.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
