2023 Carolina Panthers thread - HOF Julius Peppers

[Mt. Olive]

I always thought a good coach schemes around his players. Imagine how much better the defense would be if one of the best players was on the field.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

He changed the position. And was totally dominant. I agree completely.

is it one of those dumb first-ballot purity test things like in baseball?

That was a pretty good joke.

That was a pretty good joke.

Agreed. Low-hanging fruit, but well done.

does anyone watch Cam's YouTube videos? saw he wants to be one of the biggest athlete ones.

 

[Screamindemon3]

I catch the highlights on the 4th and 1 Instagram page. Luke surprising him last night made me all sad inside about the good ole days.

Feels like every pro athlete who retired in the last 10 years has a YouTube channel and/or podcast.

 

[Screamindemon3]

Aaron Hernandez?

 

[Screamindemon3]

Nope, retirement was just over 10+ years for Hernandez. Doesn't qualify.

The Saint and Sinner Podcast with Tim Tebow and Aaron Hernandez. Tell me that wouldn't get all the clicks.

In Evero's scheme Chinn would have to cover receivers in man a lot and that's his big weakness. That's why he didnt play. But given the lack of depth we had a linebacker it would have seemed we could have played him there a good bit. He's physical and a very good tackler.

Seems we need our best 11 on the field. And Chinn is top 11

I saw DeShaun Foster linked to UCLA job and all I think about is:

Agree. IMO this is bad coaching. Coaches should scheme to their (best) talent. When Don Shula had the best OL and a stable of RB's in the 70's (Czonka, Kiick, Morris), he ran the ball. When he had Dan Marino in the 80's, he threw the ball. Shula was not tied to a scheme, but schemed to his talent. That is a good coach.

Peppers…the best Panthers draft pick and best Panther!

End of conversation.

I’ll take the MVP but yeah Pep is awesome

 

[warak]

I get that, but I had Smitty next. Cam’s MVP was a great year, but an outlier for a good career.

 

[PhDeac]

Want a crazy stat? Peppers' original stint with the Panthers was as long as Luke's entire career (both 8 years 140 games vs. 125 games).
