"Sometimes, you're on the field, you get tired," he said. "If I'm not playing as hard on play 66 as I was on play No. 1, then ... come on."

gets you...

Peppers has the potential to make close to $110 million in the seven-year period between 2009 and 2016.

Well. he better be eating his Wheaties because Cutler will give him a lot of playing time.

lulz. poor cutler. i had such high hopes for him. and they said the heat in denver made him sick from time to time... i think he just sucks unless he has a pro bowl caliber receiver (ie. brandon marshall) to bail him out half the time. i mean, you guys saw what kyle orton, of all quarterbacks, did with brandon marshall catching his passes... almost made the freakin' playoffs.

I would say there is a 80% chance that Lovie Smith is gone next year. He has spent way too much money in two years to not make it deep into the playoffs. The sad part is the Vikes and the Packers are still better.

And yet the Broncos might not even be able to get a 1st for him. If I was our FO I would be offering next years 1st or our 2nd for him. On the field I don't think there is a better receiver in the league (you could argue Fitz). If he can stay out of trouble he would take our offense from what you saw at the end of the season to the Patriots of 07.

I know you'll think I'm crazy but look how good we played even without Smith or Dwill and we didn't have 2 all-pro T. Scary good with a balanced receiving corp. Kind of like the same kind of supercharging we got when we added Otah and Stewart in 08. Marshall IMO is worth the risk for what he could do for this season.

Fwiw, I think most players take plays off. Some players, like wide receivers for example can get away with it easier than a defensive end can.

I think most players take a play or two "off" but Peppers takes games off.

Not a Peppers hater, it's just a fact about him... it's the double-edged sword of his greatness.

The difference between Pepp and "most players" is how evident was it? If the fans see it consistently, it's a problem.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
