Advice

It is slow around the huddle right with practice not starting until 3, and I am gettting antsy and excited for the season to begin. I use to always sport my authentic Julius Peppers jersey around on game days, but it is time to move on and purchase a new one before the season begins. I already have a Beason jersey, but I want a new defensive player authentic and need advice. Is there a player you have a lot of faith in thats going to be here for a long time and could be a cornerstone.

some players I was thinking about were Munnerlyn, Hardy, and Norwood. I appreciate the input. And yes I just went another whole post without using the B word.

Gamble or Marshall maybe

i really see marshall leaving after this year. it is hard to find a good cornerback in this league and someone is sure to overpay for marshall, and truth be told he is not that great. a great tackler, but for some reason he just does not impress me.

connor is an interesting choice

right now i have

authentic: peppers (white), smith (black), beason (blue)

stitched: jarrett (black) what a waste of money so far

replica: deangelo (blue), stewart (black), ricky manning jr (black) loved him, peppers (blue and black), delhomme black, moore (white)

i love jersey for some reson, and i WASTE money i dont have on them. but want a new defensive player authentic, and ill prob end up with a clausen or edwards replica.

I wouldn't plunk down $300 on an authentic jersey for a rookie player, just too risky.

Having said that, I agree with Zod that out of all the young guys we have I think Dan Connor will become one of the pillars of our defense in the years to come - and the good news is that you can find an authentic Dan Morgan jersey on the cheap like I did and just have someone change the nameplate!

My 2nd choice would be Charles Johnson, I think this guy is going to break out this year. He's recorded 10 sacks over 2 seasons in VERY limited playing time. I haven't calculated the exact number, but I would bet his "snaps to sacks" percentage was even higher than Peppers over that two year period.

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
