Wow, Peppers wants to leave?

Oh but if Julius Peppers goes to the Redskins I will have a tough decision on whether or not to support him.

I absolutely LOATHE the Redskins and enjoy watching them struggle every year.

You shouldn't hate the Redskins. Carolina fans should be grateful to the Redskins and Steve Spurrier for the idiotic decision to dump Stephen Davis. Hell, for awhile it seemed like Washington was where Carolina did all their offseason shopping.... although I admit the Skins should feel shamed for the Panthers getting Rod Gardner.

Seriously, I can't tell you how much it sucked as a Skins fan to watch Davis help take the Panthers to the SB while I got to watch the Ex Gator Washed Up Player Society Plus Trung Candidate that the Skins turned into.

I'm glad to see Peppers go though. I'm not sure the Panthers are gonna do enough to get him a ring, and I think he deserves a shot at one. If he really wants to go to a 3-4 defense, I'd personally love to see him playing in Pittsburg the way they get after the QB.

The only thing that would worry me about Peppers coming to my team is that winning isn't his highest priority. He was on a great team this year and he wants out? My only concern

PEPPERS PICKS A PECK OF POSSIBLE SUITORS Posted by Mike Florio on February 18, 2009, 2:42 p.m. Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers wants out of Carolina — he has made that clear. But he now has narrowed the field of potential suitors to four, presuming that the Panthers use the franchise tag on Peppers and then try to trade him. According to Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald, the teams are the Cowboys, two NFC South opponents, and an unnamed AFC team. As to the NFC South foes, we’re not aware of any that run a 3-4 defense, Peppers’ supposed defense of choice. (If we’re wrong, we figure that one or two . . . or 67 . . . of you will point it out.) The Cowboys use the 3-4, but with DeMarcus Ware and with no first-round pick in 2009, a trade is unlikely. OK, now that the “news” portion of the blurb is out of the way, we can offer a few opinions. First, if we were the Panthers, we’d file tampering charges right now against each of the four teams on Peppers’ list. There’s no way in hell that Peppers’ agent, Carl Carey, hasn’t already received an indication from those teams that: (1) they’re interested in Peppers; and (2) they’ll pay him a salary in the appropriate ballpark. And there’s simply no way that Peppers would reduce his trade options that dramatically without a damn good idea that the teams on the list will be serious players. So, yeah, it looks to us like someone has been tampering. (Then again, the calendar reads “February,” so it’s kind of a given.) Second, who in the hell does Peppers think he is? Reggie White? Peppers has complained that the team’s defensive system has kept him from reaching his potential, without acknowledging the possibility that he might bear some responsibility for his failure to be all that he can be. Though he registered a career-high 14.5 sacks last year in his contract season, he had only 2.5 the prior season. Reggie White could get that many sacks while using the bathroom. Besides, we’d take Jared Allen any day of the week over Peppers, especially since Peppers is now showing that he’s more trouble than he’s worth.

If those are the teams he wants, its obvious there's more to his decision than wanting to play the 3-4.

Panthers put the tag on Peppers.
