Not Worth A Million

It is not Peppers fault that he is making that kind of money per game. The blame lies with Hurney and the organization, the time to extend Peppers was 3 years ago into a long term Dwight Freeney kind of deal, now we get a one year rental and the guy is going to go elsewhere next year and come back to life.

Julius Peppers is the same player he has always been. A good one who has good speed for his position. When we had guys like Jenkins and Rucker (in his prime), Peppers was that much better. But he is not, nor has he ever been a dominant player like Reggie White or Bruce Smith. Many in the fan base thought he was, until he wanted to leave. The contract issues exacerbated the issues.

Now people expect him to be a superstar, winning games singlehandedly. Isn't going to happen. He can't change into something he is not. He may have a great game tomorrow, and I hope he does, but at the end of the season, he will still be just an above average NFL defensive end.

    • New season new teams. Everyone we face has improved their team as well. There's now a full season of tape on Canales's offense and Bryce running it. When they win 7 games I will become a believer. 
    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
