I'll root for the guy and probably become a mildly interested fan for whatever team he goes to, just like I would if it was Delhomme or Smitty or Williams. It sucks that he's leaving but he's a good guy and a great athlete. He's always been a class act and I won't be too bitter about him leaving (hello first round pick).

Screw 'em. If he leaves I dont care how Peppers does. Something about that fact that I feel like he did not give 100% or do what was necessary to be "elite" as a Panther kind of pisses me off. You and we can blame the scemes all he/we want but bottom line is when the big games came around Peppers never took one over and dominated. How much scheme does a great DE need to beat the Oline and perform consistently. What Pep needs is to be the support guy for other great lineman. For all the talk about being double teamed and chipped is just not true. It hasnt been for at least 2 1/2 season's now. Sure he is doubled at times, etc but not all the time like people think. He is single blocked alot, and does nothing with it. I like Peppers, I and my son were his jersey to all the games - but for all the spectacular plays he is more hype than anything else.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
