If this doesn't get you pumped for the season, I don't know what will. It looks like Cam has his mojo back, and regardless of what anybody says, he did lose something last year besides a LT. Also, check out the little snippet about Peppers. The man is 16 years in and 50lbs heavier and he's running stride for stride with Kuechly and TD. That man is just unreal.

The comment about Julius and missing games made me curious, so I looked it up. According to pro football reference.com Peppers has played in 227 of 240 possible regular season game, starting 225 of them, and another 17 postseason games, starting all 17. That's 244 of a possible 257 games with 242 of them being starts.

Of the 13 misses, it appears that only 9 were due to injury since 4 of the 13 were his rookie year due to PED suspension. Of those other 9 games, 5 were missed in 2016. That means he missed 4 games in his 13 other seasons, 2 of which were in 2007 and 2 in 2009. It took 5 seasons for him to miss his first game due to (I assume) injury and before last year he had gone 6 seasons without a miss.

Love him or hate him, that's some incredible durability.

Fair. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt for whatever was going on that year but it's possible he was just pouting after being called out by JR.

Did it ever come out that he had mono?  For some reason that's sticking in my head, but it's been a long time.

No, but I remember the same rumors of illness and mono was tossed out a number of times. His wiki page (whatever credibility you want to give it) mentions an illness before the 2007 season but nothing definitive.

I really thought there would be more excitement over this little bit of news. I'm 50 years old and I'm pumped up about how Cam is approaching his rehab. I just have this feeling that this team will be even better than the 2015 team because there is the same buzz and the talent is better on both sides of the ball, IMO. Plus, they have been there now so they know how to handle it better.

how the fug does cam wear hoodies and all that other stuff while he's working out? I'd die of heat exhaustion 

I wear hoodies, thermals and beanies when I workout. Even in the summer.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
