Earlier today I read a report the bears are keeping peppers on the field. Like 93% of plays on the season peppers has been out there. Just watching peppers this season he looks alot more aggressive than last year. If I remember correctly peppers seemd to not be out there with the will last year like he is this year. He looks like he is out to prove something. Just my oppinion but letting peppers go has really started to show. Not sure what other people think?

Well whenever you give away a player of peppers calibur, there will be a noticable difference, especially when youre replacing him with a backup calibur player.

He may have been burned out, sometimes change rejuvenates people, and being a new member on a team, you have to earn the respect of your new teammates, even for a player like peppers.

People argue that we should have kept him, but he wanted out, he didn't want to stay in Carolina, especially if we were just going to franchise him, he wants a long term deal, just like any player in the NFL, never know when you might play your last play.

I hold no ill will toward Pep. Knowing what we know now, can you blame him for wanting out? Will you blame DeAngelo if he walks? I won't.

I just wished they actually called the holds against him when he was with us. He got two flags thrown on GB OLs on that drive than blocked the FG. I ain't hatin'. The guy is still a helluva player and I wish he was still here.

He wasn't kicked out, meaning its his decision. yes I blame him because its his decision- he wasn't kicked out. but really, i dont care anymore. he didn't want to be here good riddance.

I'm just saying knowing what we know about this team and the refusal of the owner to spend the money to be competitive essentially mailing this season in, do you blame a guy who is nearing the end of his prime for seeking out an opportunity to play for an organization that is trying to win NOW? I can't say that I do. I'm not so sure I wouldn't have done the same thing myself to be honest.

Packers' OT just false started afraid of giving up the safety sack against Peppers.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
