how bout we get a little more positive about the peppers situation........yes i know another peppers thread. but look at it like this, beason and harris can take this defense over and motivate the players around them! and the giants lost they're two best pass rushers and they're D was still nasty! as long as we make some good FA moves to shore up our d line we could be a top 5 defense! we have all the ingredients still to get that elusive lombardi trophy. seriously we can build on this season! look @ miami 1-15 to 11-5. 12-4 is a lot easier to build on!

what's real..is that Peppers may get a rude awakening. I think he realizes that he can't live up to the expectations of the team...and more so the fans. He honestly hasn't been able to for about 3 years now. He wants out before he disgraces his name with the organization and team. Keeping it real, he's not the same Julius Peppers that we signed as far as his drive to " prove himself". It appears to me that he feels as if he's shown how massive of an athlete he is/was, and it took him a year off to realize it. This year, not only was he trying to prove himself, but to the other NFL teams as well that he "still has it". Maybe he realized that he may have lost a step and can't disgrace his name on the back of fans jerseys...and decided to leave on the "Jordan theory".

What's real...is that he's gonna go somewhere else and see that he has to start all over again, and maybe should've stayed where he was. Not saying that he won't be successful..just don't think he'll be as successful as he wants to be paid for.

Here in The Huddle any light at the end of a tunnel is a train.

LOL.

Although I am not happy that Peppers is leaving, I hope that we can get some good picks out of it. I don't have confidence in Turdo's schemes...but hey anything can happen I guess.

That's about as positive as I can get at the moment.

I agree at the getting a rude awakening part. Unless he has really been holding out on what he can do (which I cant beleive) then what does he think is going to happen when he signs a huge contract with a new team??

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
