was peppers trying to leave because of jake

[speedy233]

when he was trying to leave he said he wanted to go to a 3-4 team and a playoff better team and this was a week after jake bad perfomance in playoffs.

I think peppers has little faith in jake delhomme

[PantherBrew]

no... he wanted to go to the Cowboys, and tony romo blows.

[N1kkadeemuz]

your hunches are killing me detective speedy

[CarolinaKid704]

Such a new way of thinking!!

[rayzor]

maybe little faith in the team?

maybe little faith in the coach?

maybe he just didn't want to be here anymore?

maybe he wanted some attention?

maybe he just wanted a change of scenery?

doesn't matter. he's here and getting $1mil/game and we got to deal with it.

[CRA]

The offense is not the problem in Carolina.....the defense is. Peppers knows THAT.

[Peppa Jack Supreme]

Why are we getting into this all over again??

[rayzor]

because someone missed out on all of it the first half of the year and now feels like it is fresh discussion?

[g5jamz]

No...he turned down a contract prior. His "issues" predated Jake's crappy game.

[CLTPanther]

Yea, but they didn't predate Jakes choke in Seattle in the NFC champ game. Other than that 3 game start he had last year before getting hurt, he really hasn't been worth a crap since that game. I knew we were screwed in that game when they showed Delhomme on Fox before the game and he looked like a deer in headlights.

[Mesmer]

Peppers wants to play in a scheme where he can avoid being blocked.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

Yea, but they didn't predate Jakes choke in Seattle in the NFC champ game.

jake choked in that game?

i'm not a jake supporter...and not really a hater, but even i know that that game wasn't jake's fault...and it started with having a 4th string RB as your main ball carrier, then no receiving threat whatsoever outside of steve smith.

it's easy to lose a game when your only option is to throw the ball and hope someone on your team catches it.

[Jangler]

We really need to get some magnets in to the gloves of our receivers.

[Cyberjag]

Jake's "choke" in the championship game in Seattle came after dominating performances on the road in New York and Chicago, and when our starting running back, who was our third string back, got knocked out early in the game. Only a hardcore hater would pin any blame on Jake for that game, much less judge the season by it.

Peppers issues don't have anything to do with Jake, that's just a stupid idea. You people need to go outside stop thinking about football for a while.
