i dont know if he was worth the million and ahalf he made this season. but i do know all and all he performed well getting double digit sacks dispite a broken hand. it d be ashame to let the future hall of famer walk with no compensation,even if he doesnt give 100% all game 80% of peppers is still better than most defensive ends in the nfl. i hope he resigns long term but if not are we open to taging him again????

I do think he is worth it, especially with Brown and Johnson developing. Pep is special, the kind of player you try your best to hang on to. Hopefully we can work something out in the offseason long term.

His athleticism is uncanny. He also seems like he has a pivotal role inside the locker room as well. Definitely a special player.

he is worth it. He needs to be properly motivated is all. That motivations stems from him feeling he has a chance to win in my opinion.

Seeing Pep meet Moore on the sideline with celebratory fives and back slaps tells me all I need to know about the peppers "effort" situation and confirms all I have believed about the defense laying down at times over the last 4-5 years.

Peps not a HOFer. Not yet any way he will need to play lights out for a couple seasons in row to be a HOFer.

No, he's not a HOFer... he'd have to pump out several 15+ sack seasons and set some records to do that... he's capable, we've seen that the last two games.

Properly motivated, yes he's worth it... he's a game changer. What has caused this surge late this year? Delhomme no longer the QB? Weird as it sounds could that be it?

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
