Peppers admits to taking plays off

[AnalyzeThIs#28]

I still don't get why Peppers went to the Bears...Peppers need a motivator at HC. Lovie Smith is basically a John Fox clone.

Oh wait a sec...

You and I know why Peps went to the Bears. They already had the contract ready past 12AM Friday morning.... They offered him the most MONEY!

The whole I wanna play in a 3-4 scheme and that's the reason I wanna leave Carolina..... Bull$hit

That's the sad part

Am still waiting to see any of you take the amount of snaps Peppers does, and play any harder.

"his conditioning"...

regardless the conditioning, I bet you'd get tired too. but I know, you hold him to a god like standard that was never achievable to begin with. :mad2:

Brayton and Beason don't do it.

[SmokeScreen]

i hated how sometimes he play but that guy was a beast. i'll miss seeing #90, but when the season starts i'll probably forgot he went to the bears.

[pantherclaw]

Brayton never took as many snaps as Peppers did every game.

Beason gets tired, and isn't as effective at times, but I don't blame him. It's a brutal game.

I would say there is a 80% chance that Lovie Smith is gone next year.

Wasn't Lovie thought to be on the hot seat last year? Pep says he went there to play for Lovie. Pep could help Lovie lose his job.

When is John Fox going to admit to taking seasons off?

ZING!

Didn't the Panthers offer him more?

[brandon_87]

gets you...

:dupe::biggrinjester:

for real man, as much as it hurts to say this, I hope there is a lockout to get these overpaid cry babies to realize they are getting paid to play A GAME:smash:

[pantherclaw]

If the Panthers did offer him more money, than he'd still be here.

Oh, that easy: this. :thumbsup:

I imagine that how he look (including the shades) after the Bears showed he will make around $91 millions.

no, we did offer him way more money but he wanted to get out to better him self "supposedly" what a loser:thumbsup:

[PantherDude]

Didn't the Panthers offer him more?

Yep. They did offer to make him the highest paid DE in the NFL 2 yrs. after the season where he has 2 1/2 sacks (and where Jake was out with having the Tommy John too). And he turn it down. Guess he wanted much as close to $100 millions & we couldn't afford that.

Yes we did offer him more money with a nice big Franchise tag on his @ss last year. But who knows how much money we offered him last year (that he turned down) before we Franchised him? And I don't believe we offered him as much as 96 million over 6 years neither. That's ridiculous and crazy for 1 man especially when he's already 30, he's not getting any better as the years progress. :thumbsup:

At least we had him in his prime :coolgleamA:

The difference between Pepp and "most players" is how evident was it? If the fans see it consistently, it's a problem.

I just don't buy it. I think this whole doesn't play hard as much as other players was just something the fans and prognosticators started saying, and it caught fire even though there was no evidence that Peppers did it any more than any other player.

All players have games in which they don't play as well they do in others. Take the guy everyone on here seems to love, Jared Allen. He had 7.5 sacks against Greenbay this year, and 7 against everyone else. He had a few dominant games, several average ones, and several in which his name was barely called. He was barely a factor in the last 5 games of the season for Minnesota. He had a total of 12 tackles and 2 sacks. Seems to me he took the NFC championship game off as I barely heard his name called. Or maybe New Orleans just did a good job against him.
