8 hours ago, electro's horse said:

peppers was a great player and deserves the hall of fame

if you think he was giving everything he had, especially after 2005, you're lying to yourself. jenkins left because of it, and buckner has basically come out and said it several times. 

this is just history. lots of you are going to get pissy about this, but if you were following the team in the late 2000s and posted here, every other thread was about peppers taking plays off and dancing with the offensive tackle

While I disagreed at the time, you are right that a ton of people on here were criticizing Peppers for taking plays off.  I never bought into that and still don't.

My aunty met him in Lumberton while he was helping after the hurricane. She couldn’t stop gushing over how tall and big the guy was and how he was so nice.

I really started watching during Peps rookie year, and I was so happy to see him come home.

Thanks for the memories, Julius. He has represented well for NC.

GOAT Panther. 

First ballot HOF'er. 

Hell of a good reason to go to Canton, Ohio.

Enjoy some relax time big guy - you've earned a break.

Met Julius with my five-year-old son at Panthers training camp a few years after he was drafted. He came over to the sideline, began a conversation and agreed to sign my young son's poster. Julius was his favorite Panther and that poster was put up on his bedroom wall. Now, my son's off to college, but that poster remains on the wall, a proud reminder of Julius' career.

Thanks for the memories, Julius. Best wishes in retirement. Keep Pounding!

We love you Peppers! 

Was hoping he would get that 3rd spot on the sack list and one more year with us, but going out healthy and as a Panther is all we can ask for.

May life beyond football treat you well, thanks for everything!
