how bout we get a little more positive about the peppers situation........yes i know another peppers thread. but look at it like this, beason and harris can take this defense over and motivate the players around them! and the giants lost they're two best pass rushers and they're D was still nasty! as long as we make some good FA moves to shore up our d line we could be a top 5 defense! we have all the ingredients still to get that elusive lombardi trophy. seriously we can build on this season! look @ miami 1-15 to 11-5. 12-4 is a lot easier to build on!

what's real..is that Peppers may get a rude awakening. I think he realizes that he can't live up to the expectations of the team...and more so the fans. He honestly hasn't been able to for about 3 years now. He wants out before he disgraces his name with the organization and team. Keeping it real, he's not the same Julius Peppers that we signed as far as his drive to " prove himself". It appears to me that he feels as if he's shown how massive of an athlete he is/was, and it took him a year off to realize it. This year, not only was he trying to prove himself, but to the other NFL teams as well that he "still has it". Maybe he realized that he may have lost a step and can't disgrace his name on the back of fans jerseys...and decided to leave on the "Jordan theory".

What's real...is that he's gonna go somewhere else and see that he has to start all over again, and maybe should've stayed where he was. Not saying that he won't be successful..just don't think he'll be as successful as he wants to be paid for.

Here in The Huddle any light at the end of a tunnel is a train.

LOL.

Although I am not happy that Peppers is leaving, I hope that we can get some good picks out of it. I don't have confidence in Turdo's schemes...but hey anything can happen I guess.

That's about as positive as I can get at the moment.

I agree at the getting a rude awakening part. Unless he has really been holding out on what he can do (which I cant beleive) then what does he think is going to happen when he signs a huge contract with a new team??

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
