Want to compare that with his weekly pay?

I don't care about his stats, I care about his impact on the game week to week. I'm sick of him showing up one week and disappearing the next. When he influences every game enough to justify an entire offseason of handcuffing a team, then I'll say he's doing pretty good.

No. He in no way justifies his pay grade.

But he isn't the worse peice of poo on the field either. Despite what some would have you believe around these parts.

He's doing what is average for him to do, and apparently the FO thought that average was good enough for a million a game. I don't agree with that, but.....well, you know the saying.

im not justifying what happened during the offseason, because we could have done better. we should/could have a healthy rotation of d-lineman, and such, by adding during free agency, but couldnt afford because he held on to peppers, however, many people, including myself, have really be dogging the guy. and we didn't do it last season, at least i didn't. his numbers are identical right now, and really a bit better since he has 1 less game, and there is still time to build

I don't disagree. I've been defending Pep's play today in other threads. The bottom line is that HE prevented offseason moves and now HE needs to prove he was worth it. I ultimately place the blame on Hurney not willing to let go of a good player even though it could improve the whole team. I've been critical of Peppers, and I'll also give him credit when credit is due, but the bottom line is that he put the heat on himself and now he has to deliver. He's no longer an important aspect of the defense, he's the difference between a good defense and a mediocre one. I don't want to see the same thing from last year, because last year this team had to put up 30 points to win a game. I want a player that will take over a game, because his salary has taken over the team.

im going to write a big long thing tomorrow about the magical statistic "sack" and why people like the OP are drooling morons

I look forward to your big long thing about something specific that makes you look like you know about the overall....thing. God knows you don't spit out enough of that.

It was Hurney's fault through and through, Peppers just took advantage of the situation. Hurney said over and over that he 'doesn't let good players go' and throughout the entire time they were trying to sign Peppers(going back a couple years) they probably could have gotten a great deal for him. Look at what Jerry Jones gave up for Williams. Hurney stubbornly stuck to his guns and allowed Peppers to handcuff him.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
