Candyass? He got straight up on both hits and continued playing without missing a beat.

A few plays before, Rodgers ran the same bootleg. Just before running out of bounds though, he took a few extra yards in front of one of our defenders assuming they wouldn't touch him. Peppers made sure he wouldn't make the same mistake again. Face it, he was playing like a douchebag, and Peppers taught him a lesson. Great play.

Quit getting a hard-on for every quarterback not named Jake Delhomme.

I don't think he was playing like a douchebag, they're aren't any special rules the players follow. You play to win and Rodgers wasn't doing anything any other QB would do. He's young and inexpericened so he pushed it too far...you're right that Peppers made sure it wouldn't happen again, but I wouldn't classify Rodgers as a douchebag.

He was just about (and I stress that) to step out of bounds. The defender covering him let up, although Rodgers was still in bounds and was technically fair game, and decided that a big collision wasn't required. We see it all the time, not for fear of a late hit foul, but because we assume the quarterback is going straight out of bounds seeing as they don't love getting destroyed by larger players.

Rodgers took advantage of the other player's courtesy and danced his way back in for an extra yard or two. Our defense tried showing Rodgers some sportsmanship and he exploited it for his own gain. He was asking for it, and Peppers gave it to him.

We see it all the time, not for fear of a late hit foul, but because they assume the quarterback is going straight out of bounds seeing as they don't love getting demolished. Rodgers took advantage of the other player's courtesy and danced his way back in for an extra yard or two. If that isn't playing like a candyass, I don't know what is. We all know Peppers isn't a dirty player so it's obvious that this struck a nerve. Rodgers got what he deserved.

Watch the film a few more times. I love Peppers and love the play, but Rodgers was CLEARLY a full 2' out of bounds when the hit occurred. There isn't even a question of that. He might have tried to get away with that move earlier, but he didn't on that play and the reason might have been Julius Peppers...

I was talking about another play that happened somewhere in that drive (I think), not the one in the video. It's been a while since I've seen that play, so forgive me if my memory is playing tricks on me.

No problem from me...

There aren't any rules in poker that says you can't look at another players hand, but you wouldn't play with someone who constantly tries to do it would ya?

i really don't consider it cheating. This kind of limbo goes on all the time, Rodgers took advantage of the situation and the situation fixed itself. I don't think it was underhanded. It was within an acceptable limit of competition for him to do that and i think it was acceptable for peppers to make him pay the fine for skiriting the sideline.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
