I'll root for the guy and probably become a mildly interested fan for whatever team he goes to, just like I would if it was Delhomme or Smitty or Williams. It sucks that he's leaving but he's a good guy and a great athlete. He's always been a class act and I won't be too bitter about him leaving (hello first round pick).

Screw 'em. If he leaves I dont care how Peppers does. Something about that fact that I feel like he did not give 100% or do what was necessary to be "elite" as a Panther kind of pisses me off. You and we can blame the scemes all he/we want but bottom line is when the big games came around Peppers never took one over and dominated. How much scheme does a great DE need to beat the Oline and perform consistently. What Pep needs is to be the support guy for other great lineman. For all the talk about being double teamed and chipped is just not true. It hasnt been for at least 2 1/2 season's now. Sure he is doubled at times, etc but not all the time like people think. He is single blocked alot, and does nothing with it. I like Peppers, I and my son were his jersey to all the games - but for all the spectacular plays he is more hype than anything else.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
