Jerry richardson singled out peppers in a press conference which turned him off and made him want out of Carolina. John fox spent the first few months repairing the relationship between the franchise and Julius. Then in October of that season Jon beason went on wfnz after a game against the Vikings and called out peppers effort or something ridiculous while praising Jared Allen. That was the end of the relationship between the franchise and pep.

i forgot about that

A big "what if" I always wondered, what if Jerry would have hired Harbaugh and then we drafted Luck

Given that we didn't do any better than the Colts on prioritizing the Oline to provide protection for our number one draft pick star qb either, probably about the same as he experienced in Indy would be my guess.

Yep. The Panthers and Colts both failed miserably to put an OL in front of their franchise QBs and we all saw what happened to both of them.

John Fox is getting traded to the Giants, and Bill Cowher was spotted at the CLT airport.

It was Ron Rivera supposedly spotted at the airport, ironically enough.

At the time, Rivera was one of the hottest coaching prospects a available.

We had a cheerleader running our team

There are plenty of cheerleaders and former cheerleaders that are extremely intelligent, capable women who could do anything they wanted.

Tina Becker just isn't one of them.

As I remember it was someone in Pepper’s family that got into his ear and convinced him that he needed to go to a big market team if he wanted to get national attention and into the HOF.  Any internal team conflict was secondary.

I got this third hand from a friend, but:

Smitty and his wife were visiting a tattoo parlor back in the day/towards the end of Jake's decline. The friend that told me this short story got it from the tattoo artist that was working on Smitty's wife's tattoo.

Anyways, there is some small talk during the process, and of course it turns to football at times. The subject of Jake is brought up and Smitty, obviously frustrated, jokes something along the lines of "Man. Jake couldn't get it to Jerry Rice on Jerry's best day."

It is pretty mild and mundane, but I always believed this happened, and I felt 100% the same way at the time, even though I still liked Jake for what he gave us for all those year before. I still like Jake too to this day, but he outstayed his time way too long, especially if it was that obvious to his #1 at  the time.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
