Solid interview. It makes you wonder if part of his piss poor performance in 2007 was being stuck on the left side again where he felt he was underutilized. Then when the Panthers moved him, he got excited and put forth a better effort. Also makes you wonder if the coaches got whiff of his dissappointment in 2007 and moved him, in part, to try to make him more content.

It all depends on whether or not you buy into Peppers being that good. Some do, some don't, and only time will tell.

Lets see.

70.5 sacks in seven seasons

4 Pro Bowls

1 All-Pro

31 opposing teams who piss their pants when playing against.

Yep, I'd say he's "that good".

That would explain why many of those teams that were on the Panthers schedule this year felt that they didn't need to double-team Peppers, right? :rolleyes:

He’s had an opportunity to watch other defenses play and had some ideas about how he can be utilized in other systems. He has his own ideas about how he can be best utilized. This decision was not made in haste. It’s been something that he has contemplated for a while, but at the same time,

Wow--

= "my coaches dont know what the fug their doing w/me"

I’ll go further and say that in my estimation that I truly believe if Julius felt he could accomplish his personal goals in Carolina, that we might be at a different place today in terms of him saying he needs to leave. He is home-grown. He has spent his entire life there. His family is there. This is not something that is easy. If he felt like he could do it there, he would do it there

Wheeeew-- Its HOT IN HERE lol lol

I fixed that number for you. I don't know where you get 31, it's pretty clear the Cardinals weren't too worried about him.

10 sacks a season is good for about 10th in the league any given year. He's not a perennial all-star, nor is he even a regular starter on the NFC side of the pro-bowl.

Still, the numbers don't deny it. He is "that good", he just isn't "that great".

All of his numbers were as a DE. Now he want to change positions and learn a new one. While this isn't unprecedented and Peppers surely seems capable, I wonder how many teams will pay him 10-15 million a year to play OLB which he has never played in college or the pros. Will a team pay him to learn and play in a new position when he already tipping 30 and will likely have only 2 or 3 more years left. Age seems to be a negative factor in linebackers even more than DEs. He will want a 5 or 6 year contract. I would be interested to see if changing positions is an inticement to other teams or a concern.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
