Can Pep Ever Come Home Again?

[pantherclaw]

irony.

Oh the irony.

Peppers leaves for more money. Everyone hates him.

Moose, definately left for the money, and people still worship him.

Two players that left for the same reasons.

One is treated like he raped your daughter,

The other, your lining your daughters up to marry the man.

I was butt hurt the way he left.

But would I take him back? Yes. He's still a freak on the field and I would get over the hurt feelings really quick.

Would the Panthers take him back? I think that for now probably not. Is that a never? I think even Big Cat can forgive. I am not still reeling over his leaving. If Moose can come back, why not Pep? (although it looks like the Bears have him locked in for a long time contract wise)

I am sure the folks in Chapel Hill will be glad to welcome him back after his NFL career is over with. :)

Peppers is a beast but, i'd rather have CJ and Hardy who give 100% a 100% of the time......

[jherald]

Pep's turned into a real asshole.

[Tarheels23]

I voted yes, but only for one of those 1 day retiring contracts.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Peppers burned all his bridges here. He won't be coming back, and I for one couldn't be more happy about it.

[Tarheels23]

It's funny how some Panther fans still don't realize that we didn't make an attempt to resign Peppers after the '09 season.

Pep wanted out after the '08 season, but changed his mind once he got a chance to work under new DC Ron Meeks, and new D-Line coach Brian Baker, but at that time it was too late.

This shouldnt even be a discussion. He wanted to play for a different team and get out of NC. He was really good sometimes but lazy also. Time to move on...we have bigger and better things to look forward to than Peppers feeling sorry for himself because "we made no attempt to resign him". When he said that BS...wow

Later Peppers...go to a team that will be in Green Bay's...and now Detroit's rearview mirror

[pantherclaw]

The difference between Moose and Pep is that Pep bitched and moaned for 2 years until he was allowed to walk. Moose just so happened to hit the open market after a big year and took a contract that we weren't able to offer, also unlike Pep.

correction.

Moose was cut, cause he wouldn't redo his contract when a 10 million dollar bonus (that everyone knew he wouldn't get), and he signed to the bears within hours of free agency, which definately leads most to believe there was tampering.

Peppers didn't bitch and moan at all. If you think asking for more money is bitching, i hope you never ask for a raise.

Don't let the facts stop your delusions though.

[blackcatgrowl]

I'd have to say no. He burned some bridges.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Absolutely do not want Peppers. He would be our 3rd best DE currently, way over paid and bad for the locker room. He can have fun up there with Cutler.

[rippadonn]

How soon you all forget, wow.

I was just watching this video and am so happy, even after the loss, about this team. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PySTbOtJ5gE

Recently I saw the picture of Cam and Pep talking. It was said in the media one time that Pep didn't like our QB situation. The team then goes on to give Jake $20mill. I might leave too if I wanted to compete but had no faith in the guy on the other side of the ball.

I hope Cam was like "Hey brother, you can come home anytime you like!"

So my question is...

Can Pep come home, ever, ala Reggie White? Supremely talented older player guy with 2-3 good years left kinda guy. This was the offense he was lobbying for, just 2yrs late.

If we had 90 and 95?!? :eek: :( Alas, what could have been.

What say yee

while we're at it we should give him 5 million just for wearing the jersey, what do you think?
