i blame the panthers alone for giving him that money

9/28/2009 11:27:37 PM

I blame this asshole for thinking he is above the Panthers

9/28/2009 11:33:23 PM

i dont blame him at all for wanting to play elsewhere

sure i think he could give better effort while he's here though

9/28/2009 11:34:31 PM

i blame the panthers for not trading him when they could have. and gotten Cassel/Garcia/me.

yeah, cassel's really tearin it up at KC

9/28/2009 11:45:11 PM

I too blame the Panthers he isn't worth the money. He isn't even that good an end he has no passion for Football anymore.

9/28/2009 11:50:32 PM

I can not see any reason to have kept him especially after he made it quite vocal he did not want to stay. His attitude and the "oh i guess i'll stay for the right price" attitude CAN'T be good for morale.

At least its not because of lack of effort. There is no room for a professional player that doesn't want to play.

Plus its the fucking Chiefs, he's been hurt, and Dwayne Bowe is hurt.

9/28/2009 11:55:20 PM

his problem is that he doesnt learn
they keep abusing him the same way over and over

lol, this is fucking brutal. from another forum:

"Dear Julius Peppers, On fiz's recommendation I decided to watch you during the game. I mean lock on to you and only care about you. All I can say is you are loving terrible. I'm not charting you or anything but for making $1 million dollars a game all you did was get single teamed, take time off plays, consistently power rush past the QB and in general be terrible. IT's not pressure if you just power rush past the QB as the LT rides you down the field, that's not pressure. I'm not kidding when I say you are a worse than about 25 other DEs in the league. You are terrible in the running game because you can't tackle and you always over pursue. You are godawful in the passing game because you can't even beat single coverage to do anything. Your idea of pressure is to bull rush right past the goddamn qb. You have no moves but speed and it's not enough, you have nothing. I have never had my expectations of an "elite" player shattered like I did tonight. You were invisible and the Panthers should try to desperately trade you for a 1st rounder. I honestly can't even believe you are a starting DE, it's just loving pathetic. Jesus. edit: What's even sadder is on occasions when it was obvious passing downs all you did was be invisible. Bull speed rush and pushed out of the way by Flozell. Every. Time. Listen, I know FLozell is a good LT, but you're supposed to be one of the best and you did nothing. NOTHING. He manhandled you consistently. Flozell is OK, but I don't know if I'd even put him in the top 10 of best tackles in the league."

you have to be willing to cut guys loose at times for the betterment of the franchise

the patriots do it all the time, even to guys that might have a couple more great years (see richard seymour)

their decision with peppers handicapped the franchise from making any other improvements, most noticeably not being able to add any offensive line depth, defensive line depth, and possibly another decent qb that could push Jake if nothing else

9/29/2009 9:31:00 AM

^cut /= trade

panthers issues start at the back office

9/30/2009 11:26:14 AM

when they could have? to who? in case you don't recall, he tested the market, but no team was willing to give him the deal he wanted...and its not a case of the Panthers not getting enough in return...we could've gotten a 7th round pick in 2015, but no team was willing to give him the super high dollar salary and long term deal that he wanted

well...the Panthers offered him a long term deal last year that would've made him the highest paid defensive player in NFL history...but apparently that wasn't good enough for this ingrateful Tar Heel faggot

9/30/2009 3:32:35 PM

the panthers issues stem from 2 causes, one, jake is past his prime a replacement should have been drafted or looked for, and two, peppers just doesn't give a fuck anymore, the panthers should have traded his ass for a high pick or something...

if these things had happened the panthers might have one win and actual potential at QB rather than what looks to be the long/steep downhill side of a career.

peppers didnt/doesnt want to be in charlotte, money wasn't/isn't an issue, it's just how the rules of franchising played out

which is why the panthers' front office is dumb as fuck and should be the only ones blamed for him making $1MM a game

9/30/2009 4:50:16 PM

Peppers talks out of both sides of his fissured anus, nothing he says is to be taken seriously

If it really wasn't about the money, I think he would've settled for a lower sum contract with another team

I don't think he knows what the hell he wants
