My random Peppers ramblings

So the Bears went out and spent a ton of dough on Peppers, Taylor, and Manumaleuna.

No surprise, they needed help in a ton of areas.

Some of my random thoughts....

1) Peppers is better than any lineman the Bears had. Period. Whether he takes half a season off or just a few plays, he is a significant upgrade over anything they had.

2) The money. My thought is the same for this signing or any signing in any sport. Who cares? Every fan should wish his or her team conducted business like the New York Yankees, and any bitching is jealousy. We should all want our teams to fuction darn near non-profit status. You want the money in shareholder pockets or to go to talent on the field? Think about it.

It aint my money, I have no money and only devotion invested in the Chicago Bears, so if they spend all the McCaskey's money, I really don't care. Break the bank. Uncapped year. Go nuts. That argument is for the football retarded.

3) Peppers is on the downside. Probably. So what? See point 1)

4) Why Taylor? Simple. He fits Martz's system and is an upgrade over Forte.

5) Brandon M. is a blocking TE that again fits Martz and his system. Again, it is just money. Who cares?

6) The Bears are still hurting on the OL and in the defensive secondary, so unless any of these three can block (which I guess Brandon M. helps with) the Bears are better than they were before Friday, but still are not legit SB contenders until they address these areas. Also, I'm still not sure which WR is anything but a #3 at best on any other roster. A big problem in the Martz system.

S'all I got.

Sure.

But again, I don't give a damn about money.

Perhaps this signing will put to bed the common and incorrect assumption by the football retarded regurgitators that the Bears are "cheap".

They haven't been for a very long time.

They have been stupid, and bad, but not cheap.

I think a change of scenery can help him on and off the field. Epi, back me up on this, but he can probably go to anywhere in Chicago and the chances are far greater that he can have more privacy than he ever did here. Not EVERYONE in Chicago is going to know who he is.

Hm.

Dunno.

Depends on where he goes, but yes, a large number of people won't know who he is, or care, but his size would attract attention until somebody figures it out.

Overall most stars in this town have been happy with the trappings that come with stardom, and being able to get lost in the large town anonymity if needed.

That was what I was trying to say, but you put it far more eloquently than I.

I think they overpaid Peppers considering he does take plays off, and putting him on the same line with Tommie Harris, who does the same thing, can lead to trouble. Overpaying can also hurt the bears in the long run when a cap is reestablished. Lovie and Angelo did all this out of desperation; they know their jobs are on the line.

I sent Adam Schefter a message on Twitter just after Gaines Adams' passing asking him whether he saw the Bears making a play for Pep since Wale would be a Free Agent and Gaines passed away.

His response (verbatim): "They won't spend the $."

I replied that heneeds to get with the Angelo/Lovie times and cast away his old Bears misconception...

His reply (verbatim): "We'll see :)"

I replied back on Friday with, "Are you ready to re-evaluate the Bears now?"

He has yet to reply back...

Yeah, he's one of the worst when it comes to not doing any thinking and just repeating old, wrong news.

Typical ESPN dumbassery when it comes to anything outside of the greater NY, NJ, Conn, Phila area.

Pep was a good signing. He will help the Bears tremendously. We Panther fans are mainly bitter about him leaving and the way it went.

Personally, I despise free agency but I guess the bears felt they had no choice. No real picks in the important rounds. But as with any NFL team, it ain't gonna be Pep that makes this team great. It's on Cutler's shoulders and it always will be.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By HPPantherzfan · Posted

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
