Why all the Fan Hate for Peppers????

I have read a million threads in the past and heard a million sports talks shows that were calling for Trgos head and saying how he never used Peppers effectively. Questioning why Pep was dropped into coverage so much.

Isn't that exactly why Peppers said he wanted to leave?

It's not like he said I want to leave because the place sucks or the fans suck or The Panthers suck.

If I remember correctly, he thanked the organization, said his years here were good, but felt he could be more effective somewhere else and did not feel he was at his full potential here, the same thing I have heard a million fans say.

So I am not sure why all the hate for Pep. It is a business, careers are short and he wanted to know that his last few years were his most productive after a great year last year, despite Turdo and Fox.

Maybe they sat him down and promised him that Fox will let Meeks run things and Meeks plans to use Pep more effectively. Afterall, I have read Meeks strentgh is getting players to reach there potential by paying to there strengths.

What say you????

I will post a reason for some of the "hate". One of the things that bugs me about the whole process was the "I dont want to hurt the franchise" comments. When in some ways that is exacetely what Pep did. Just like the article another posted on the board regarding that Gross would have gotten the tag instead - as a result of the Pep issue the Panthers might have been able to sign some key backups and even add some free agents. Instead the team couldn's so that has hurt the depth on the team, which can be critical if the O-line has injuries. So Pep made it impossible for the team to trade him, and now he might want a long term deal????? When if that was in place than the cap issue this offseason is not a problem.

Sure the team wants to keep him but I think Pep was sick of the Fox/Turgo system. Now since there is no way he is getting out of Carolina this year and the defense has new coaches Pep is happy to be here. The fans are pissed because he didn't show the dedication and loyalty to the team that they feel. They just do not understand that to the players it is a business and loyalty has no part in it.

Loyalty is out the window in the NFL. As a metter fo fact that is what it stands for is No Fugging Loyalty.

Why should players be loyal to teams? Teams sure are not going to be loyal to players. They do what is right for the team, if it hurts an individual player, too bad.

I am sure that really, he didn't want to hurt the team, but if him doing what he really felt was best for him, happen to hurt the team, what's the difference?

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
