Lovie Smith: "Julius Peppers didn't do a good enough job"


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

Peppers, who was occasionally double-teamed but often left one-on-one against tackle Russell Okung, was credited with just two tackles.

"Julius Peppers didn't do a good enough job, like I didn't do a good enough job and everyone else," Bears coach Lovie Smith said.

That was a short honeymoon. :lol:

Depends on how the quote came about. If he was asked, did Julius peppers do a good enough job, then he really didn't single Peppers out. If he said that out of the blue, then he was singling out peppers.

He didn't mention peppers, but he did say team effort. So basically i don't think he called him out, but I'll pretend that he did for the hell of it.

You realize that was an edited interview. Or are you suggesting the Chicago Tribune lied abouit what Smith said?

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
