Just incase you needed more evidence that Peppers is a moron...

So under this "logic", if a player has ever done something good for an organization then that organization should hang onto that player forever... even when it's clear that the players skills have eroded to the point that they're a liability.

Hey Julius, Jerry Rice did allot of good stuff for the 49ers, why did they let him go?

Jake not sounding so smart either

"It always pissed me off when they said he didn't play hard because that was just BS,'' Delhomme said in a phone interview Wednesday. "He never missed practice and he never looked to miss practice, like some veterans do. He went at it hard every day.''

also that article would be 1/3 longer if they quoted JP exactly. Probably more like

"I ..um..love..um.. Jake,'' Peppers said of guy he played with in Carolina for seven years. "I..um..loved him as a..um.. teammate. I ..um..loved him as a ..um..person. He's a..um.. great guy. I'll ..uh..be excited to see him.''

This article clearly reinforces why Jake had to be let go once he lost the starting job.

Jake was very well liked and respected. The locker room would have been divided if he were kept as the back-up. Jake would not have caused an issue, but it would have been a festering problem.

As for Peppers, I am glad he is gone. Not that I hate the guy...or think that he sucks...I just do not believe that his effort and production is worth $20 million a year.

Love it.. only the folks who see you every day can make the call that you are slacking, according to Pep. Umm.. I'm sorry, but when you have complete games where the only thing you produce is 1 tackle and maybe 2 pressures... people don't need to see you every day to call that one.

I've been over his leaving since the day after... just think that's a funny comment to make right there. No Pep, no one could be qualified to make a judgment statement about your play in a real game, with gametime implications, and wins and losses to worry over unless they see you in the lockerroom daily. :rolleyes:

He complimented Jake Dehomme as a person and as a teammate. Gahhhhhh

:willy_nilly:

Here's what I took from this to make Pep a moron:

"Jake kind of got a raw deal down there,'' Peppers said. "That's the business side of it. It was just unfortunate, but I'm happy he landed on his feet.

I was a fan of Delhomme for years. I defended him against naysayers more times than I can count...

But he did not "get a raw deal". In 2009, h had a career low completion percentage of 55.5% (as a Panther), with 8 TD versus 18 Interceptions, and a 59.4 QB rating. He did this without any significant injuries to himself or the offense... and the same top 2 receivers that he had for our playoff runs. On top of that, he got to walk away with one HELL of a severance package.

Jake Delhomme did not "get a raw deal". He let his fan base down with poor play that merited his departure. That's not JUST business... its also about doing your job... something he lost touch with for some reason in 2009.

Like I said, you're fixated.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
