Peppers is a Bear

Peppers was probably my favorite Panthers player of all time. But now, I'm obviously no longer a fan of his. No hard feelings, but I pull for the Panthers and Pep is not a Panther so his #90 jersey is officially retired in my closet never to be worn again.

See that's how it's done.

He was mine too, and I generally like to look at things from the player's point of view, but that's why I lost respect for Pep in this situation.

I can understand a guy wanting to be in a bigger market and all that, but the way Pep handled it pissed me off. It was insulting and he lied. Just say if you don't want to be here, I can respect that.

You got me, but he said he did, then he didn't, then he did, then he didn't.

When he signed the tender he said he wanted a long-term deal and then this year he said he didn't want it anymore. It was bullshit.

I misspoke, I meant he wasn't clear about what he wanted b/c he waffled and led us on. When really we never had a chance. I really meant to say, he should've gave us the reason why instead of going back and forth.

He said he didnt beginning of last year. Then after a new DC and after he signed the tender, he said he wanted the long term contract but Marty didn't get it done. Then after this season he didn't want to return. After reading some stories about Pep, he was probably hurt that a long term deal wasn't reached with our FO and that there was no effort still by the FO after the season until it was too late. Oh well its over now.

That's not how I interpreted it, but you could be right. I think he let Carey pull the strings, and as hard as Hurney made it on us last year to keep him under the tag, I have a hard time buying that we didn't make a lucrative offer more than once.

just makes you wonder about last season

If it was well known within the clubhouse that he wanted out and nobody was going to be able to motivate this guy, why not trade him last year, but no, we pay him 18m. kinda like a wife that gets beaten all the time but cannot leave the husband that they hope will turn it around.

pretty pitiful coach and management.

That and the cry fest today makes you wonder

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
