(By Joseph Person, [email protected]) For most of a 20-minute conference call with Charlotte reporters Wednesday, former Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers took the high road when talking about his time with the Panthers and what it means to play his old team this week with the Chicago Bears.p/But near the end of the teleconference, Peppers took a couple of shots that drafted him in the first round in 2002 out of North Carolina.

The FO made him the offers, he refused. Now he thinks it's 'sour' because they didn't explain themselves to him? If he wanted to stay the ball was in his court the entire time. Don't expect people to keep offering you millions of dollars when you already turned it down, twice.

Sounds like, "yes they offered to make me the highest paid DE in the league twice but that doesn't matter because they didn't do it after this last season with an even higher offer. And they didn't tell me they weren't going to do it."

yeah, OK Pep.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
