Thanks for the link.

In fact, you got the distinct feeling Belichick was trying to send a message to Peppers and his agent to sign the $16.68 million tender with the Panthers because it would actually help the trade process along .

[belichick] I think if a player wants to be traded or wants to be in a position where he could be traded, then the best thing for that player to do is do what Matt Cassel did — sign the tender, be under contract, and then go to the team and say, ’Okay, I don’t want to be here, trade me, this is where I want to go.’”

Peppers and Carey are really screwing them selfs. This is why you sign a proven Agent when your a top 10 talent and not a first timer.

here's a conspiracy theory for you:

if peppers is carey's one and only client and the only one he has ever had, were peppers and carey close prior to him turning pro? how long have they been working together and was he more just someone that peppers trusted rather than a proven agent?

if carey was hurting because of the economy in other areas or wanted more money for some reason do you think he started sewing seeds of discontent in peppers head? i think fatty jenks did a lot of that while he was here but still, it could have been something that carey saw as a moment to capitalize on to get some extra money from getting a new contract.

he could also be trying to use this as a moment to try and drum up some other business as an agent. no one would have known who he was had it not been for this melodrama.

soo...is it possible that carey was behind all of this and just fed on peppers insecurities?

if we are going to speculate on something, it might as well be interesting.

Carey was Peppers Academic adviser of sorts at UNC, they became good friends, while Carey kept Peppers from Flunking out. (he almost did his freshman year) Then when the draft came around, Peppers hadn't signed an agent and was getting a crazy amount of calls, So Carey started screening them, then Carey decided where Peppers would Train for the Combine (still trains with the same guy), Then ended up being Peppers Agent when he got drafted and it came time for him to sign.

So Peppers and Carey are really good friends, probably Peppers most trusted and best friend.

That - exactly! Peppers doesn't seem to have the capacity to think for himself, he leaves it to Carey to do that for him. And he doesn't seem to be much better... :lol:

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Moton would be gone by then, Ikey likely on a big deal and it's likely one or both of Lewis and Hunt will be gone due to finances or performance drops.  Mays will likely never see 6-8 mil/year here. He is a backup caliber player and has roughly the same valuation as BC. We should not be either relying on him as a long term starter nor paying him like one, as he is essentially a backup player. An extremely valuable one like BC but not one with a lot of free agency heat, I would imagine(like BC). You can't be paying backup IOL like starters. It's not smart.

      What makes me think we keep vacillating is that Evero is pretty darn familiar with the offense and defense we just faced.  Think he was keyed in on certain things against his old regime.  Hope I'm wrong here and we can keep rolling.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      This is the laziest post I've read of your in years.  Bryce has already proven he can throw more than 20 and still play well.  Has he done it consistently? I'm not sure i want any team to have to consistently ask their QB to throw 40 plus times a game. That is not plan for sustained winning.  In order to best the best teams, which often have good offenses, the best game plans, always involve a run heavy game plan.  You have to keep their offense on the side of the field.   You also have to gave the defense do their part.   Cam's MVP season, he was constantly getting short fields because our defense was taking the ball away.  Stop being lazy.  Stop talking down players abilities.
