However, Hurney & crew are very mistaken in spending such huge $ on an inconsistent player.

The NFL is a business, and Pep was trying to watch his own back. He's not an outspoken guy, I'm sure he was given some bad advice and pressure from the outside, and put himself in a bad position. He signed, basically apologized, he's back, and I will embrace it. If he left it would have been a huge hole, now, Panthers are a Super Bowl contender!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-69816984549568798362009-06-25T09:57:10.453-04:002009-06-25T09:57:10.453-04:0014.5 sacks last year and he wasn't trying hard...14.5 sacks last year and he wasn't trying hard all the time people say.

Second, I don't recall Peppers ever whining or complaining about how he was being used. The statement said that he wanted to move on. I agree that the trade demand stipulating only four teams was ridiculous, but the NFL is a business. Him requesting a trade is a business decision. Don't take things so personally.
