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

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
