Thanks For The Memories Julius Peppers

For the past 9 years, Peppers has been my favorite player on the Carolina Panthers. From his first season, he has dominated for our team, and for that I'd like to say thank you. A few years back when Carolina played the 49ers in SF, I went to the game in a Peppers jersey. After the game, several Panthers people signed a football I brought with me. Ricky Proehl, Muhsin Muhammed, Brentson "Boogie" Buckner, Kris Jenkins, John Fox, hell even Mark Richardson signed it. The one I was bummed about not getting was JP. As the team bus pulled away, I saw Pep behind the tinted windows because his seat light was on. I pointed at the 90 on my chest and gave a thumbs up (kinda lame I know), and Julius Peppers got up and stopped the team bus and came out and signed my ball, jersey, and took a couple pics with me and my lady. I was ecstatic.

So for all the stuff I hear about being a quiet recluse, just wanted to post a good memory about Julius Peppers from a fan stanpoint.

That being said, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I'm a Panthers fan first.

Step it up Everette Brown, I'll be buying your jersey the minute they sell it as a tackle twill.

Sorry guys, had to make one last thread on this guy before I'm done with him. No homo. :)

The part I will remember of Peppers is that he never "reached his potential". We as a fan base saw a player who in his first three four seasons better than the player we have seen the last four. Whether he was held back, coaching, etc, whatever ----- the player Peppers could have been never materialized. I for sure do not want to see that accur somewhere else. Peppers does have the right to want a change of scenery. I am just dissappointed Fox/Hurney didnt see this when he didnt sign the long term deal after '07. We are all entitled to make mistakes.

Well said.

Thanks Jules. Now you're the enemy. Prepare to be destroyed.

I thought id be pissed at peppers for leaving, but its more bittersweet like he said in the charlotte observer interview. We move on as a fanbase of the Panthers organization and this reminds us that no one is bigger than the organization. It was fun Pep. I just want him to be remembered for his years in Carolina not somewhere else.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
