Peppers is a Bear

[dimbee]

Im happy for JP. He wanted out of Carolina and he got his wish. No hard feelings and I wish him the best til we play the Bears.

Classy post, KT

Something tells me, Pep will be back one day (just like Moose).

I don't know about that... He signed a 7 year contract, so it's not likely, but who knows?

[dimbee]

Signings like this only serve to reaffirm the position of the FO regarding free agency.

What is that?

The Bears needed a pass rusher. They paid him the money we would not. Congrats to the Bear for just improving their defense. I've never had any problem with Peppers as many others have. Do I wish he had a non stop motor? you bet, but not every player is that way.

I hope Peppers has success, cept playing the Panthers..of course.

Free agency is fools gold for teams looking for a quick fix. I'd prefer that the Panthers build through the draft and develop talent on cheap contracts as opposed to overpaying for career underachievers.

Stephen Davis, 2003, anyone?

I just loved the line in his press conference: I just want to be a piece.

Exactly. Ding ding ding. That is Free Agency, folks. If a team fills a need, it's one thing, if a team throws money away like a drunken sailor, they're the Redskins.

It's right up there with Fiz's presser for "The Virgins" - "I just want to be a tool."

Mission accomplished, dog.

Of course you can cherry-pick exceptions, but it's funny that you had to go all the way back to 2003 to do it.

How is it funny? Is that not a Free Agent signing of the current Front Office? How about Jake Delhomme? Was he a Free Agent or draft pick? I can't help but feel that Diggs was a Free Agent before signing a few years ago. Ken Lucas, was he a Panthers draft pick? Kemoeatu? How did the Panthers acquire one Matthew Moore?

Come on, man. Free Agency is the NFL.

Jake= scrub when he arrived

Diggs=scrub when he arrived

Lucas= one good year, then bust

Kemo=way overpaid for the job he was doing

Moore= undrafted rookie that was just released following training camp

[dimbee]

Diggs=scrub when he arrived

WTF are you talking about? Diggs didn't have a single season with the Panthers that measured up to what he did with the Packers.

Lucas= one good year, then bust

Lucas was actually a "name" FA pickup the season the Panthers signed him out of Seattle.

Kemo=way overpaid for the job he was doing

Yes... and?

Moore= undrafted rookie that was just released following training camp

So, he was a Free Agent after Dallas released him.

Pfftt... you guys. Everyone knows championship teams are built through a few high priced free agents.
