Bears Fan with Questions about Peppers

[Koobah]

You'll get to see Brett Favre go on IR and retire because of him though, so that's gotta be worth every penny as a Bears fan.

It would make me so happy if the Bears were the team that ended his consecutive start record.

My prediction: Bears will drop him after this year and he will feel like a *****.

it all depends on his play of course... but, I dont see that happening.

I hope that the Packers rookie Baluga doesnt turn into a good LT against Peppers. I don't really think he will because his arms are so short.

other than that the NFC N has some pretty weak LT's, last season I would have said that Minny's Mckinnie was the best in the division but Peppers made him his B!#$H when he was his the Panthers

Peppers disappears in big games and against good teams....he'll usually have a field day against really bad teams or meaningless games.

I miss the old Peppers (see 04 Peppers against the falcons)....the Peppers as of late just wasn't the same guy.

He should have a real good year..just to prove the nay sayers wrong.

Pepper's play seldom matched the hype. He is very gifted and he will have a great year for Chicago before he falls back into old habits.

Hey guys, I promise this isn't a troll thread.

I have questions about Peppers and his "work ethic." Around the league he has the reputation of "taking plays off." Can any of you elaborate?

Because so far at Bears OTA's & Minicamp Peppers has been spectacular... Even unbiased journalists have said so. And you would think that if a player took plays off in games, then he would also do it in practice.

Good Luck.

A lot of people in this thread are forgetting that one reason he played so lax was because he was tired of being here. The new enviroment should do hiim some good at least for a year or two.

honestly its hard for a DE to push it every play when he doesnt even feel the team is doing it with him. whether or not thats true is a different story all together

but i definitely think people were hard on pep. especially the last couple years when the going was rough for all, some people just dont have the heart, but they do have other things. all in all i dont blame anyone but him, but i still wish it had gone differently....
