Pep, Jake: Distant Memories...Already


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Wow. So soon? I hardly ever give a thought to Jake Delhomme anymore, and (surprisingly) even less, Julius Peppers. Six months ago, I would have never thought that I'd "forget" these much celebrated players, who were also points of much contention in the Huddle. Perhaps I am a realist who has been forced to move on because I have no other choice. Maybe I feel like that guy who is really relieved to finally have gotten rid of that old girlfriend---that was really never the right fit---in order to eagerly explore the greener pastures. Perhaps I have some latent anger because of being left for greener pastures. Maybe this is a litmus test to determine if I am that fan who supports the team, regardless of the players, or an owner who arguably---in one sense---loves the team less than I do because it is more about business in his eyes (more about the NFL Shield, than the Panthers logo). Whatever the reason, the fading memories of Jake and Pep in my mind are an affirmation that I am truly a fan of the Carolina Panthers.

you have over 1,000 posts and you have the audacity to bring up ex panthers, what in the world is wrong with you. this is complete sarcasm by the way.

i think its a shame two of the panthers all time greats are treated like curse words on this board. be prepared for this thread to be moved by THE Zod in 5. 4.3.2.1......

I have no problem at all talking about them. I will probably be watching more Bears and more Browns games then I ever have in my life. But, they aren't on the team anymore. I will never forget those players that were once greats on my beloved team but they are gone now so lets move on.

There are threads about ex players on this board. Just not in this section. I know perhaps this is a hard concept for you to grasp. You see this Message Board is set up into sections, each have its own "topic" designation....ohh *** it nevermind.

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
