Another good year by Peppers = Trade for a 1st?

Do we trade Peppers this offseason for a 1st round pick? I can't stress how stupid it was to trade our 2010 1st rounder...trading a first for a second rounder just isn't smart.

So say Peppers has a big year. We slap the tag on him again. Is Peppers going anywhere this year? I'd say we trade him for a high 1st round pick, maybe even for our own pick back with the 49ers, and draft a QB. Surely if that happens Fox and Hurney will be gone, so why not??

with his attitude change, improvement in the area of leadership/mentoring, talking to press a little more...plus increased performance, i'd say he'd be a good bit more valuable.

if he keeps positive and doesn't pull the junk he did last offseason i'd say he has a much better chance of getting traded. more teams would be willing to give up a first rounder.

something positive has to happen at some point, doesn't it?

I hope Peppers ends up with 20 sacks, just so some crappy team will go crazy and offer a truckload of picks. Then it'll just hurt a little more when the team has to explain why they declined some team's whole draft in exchange for a guy making $20 million.

It's not going to matter when he's not under contract. If we franchise him for 22-23mil... grrrr

Hard to make him sign this time around. Last year the team was coming off a 12-4 season...this year...not so much.

Why? If we put the tag on him, and he doesn't sign it, then he doesn't play anywhere next year. I think eventually he would sign it, the question is do we want to pay over 20 mil next year for 1 guy, I don't think we can afford that.

Does anyone notice that every time Everett Brown is in the game, he is getting very very close to the QB, if not sacking, making him throw it early, or tackling him after a short gain.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
