Peppers is on the downside of his career, while CJ is in his prime. If you asked me who is better, I say CJ is. I think CJ has the opportunity to be better than Peppers ever was if we can get CJ some help at DT. (Remember while Julius was here he had Rucker and Jenkins helping him out. If we can pick up a great DT, CJ may get 16 or more sacks a season. He has the work ethic and ability to do so)

CJ doesn't have more potential...

Pep was a freak of nature and is actually tehcnically very sound as well. He had the potential to make a game changing play every time he set foot on the field and won us a lot of games that we shouldn't have.

CJ is just a very high calibre DE who is quality against the run and the pass, however he lacks the game changing plays Pep used to and can still produce.

CJ is playing like he wants to be here, Peppers didn't, screw 'em, hes not on this team anymore. Im excited for CJ, and hope hes a panther for the long run. hes earned a new deal, and hopefully one gets worked out. also, you look at the Bears' Dline and look at ours. CJ is doing about the same with less. Hes a baller simply put.

Wow... the homerism resounds...

CJ will never be close to Pep as far as talent/ability/play goes...

If you want to argue heart and effort, maybe you have more of a case, but as an overall player, that is laughable...

okay I'm not going to say that Johnson is better than Peppers, because he isn't at the moment. I've seen most Bears games and it is obvious that Peppers is making a huge impact in every game, so his stats(or lack there of) are misleading.. HOWEVER-

it's flat out wrong to say that Johnson will never be close to Peppers in ability/play. you could say he'll never be close to the athlete that Peppers is and it would be closer to the truth(there's only a handful of players in the league that are comparable to Peppers as an athlete..) but to say he'll never be a better player isn't right.

Trent Cole isn't near the athlete that Peppers is, but most would argue that he's the better player(Cole is probably the best complete DE in the league when it comes to pass rushing/defending the run.)

long story short:

fact - Peppers, right now, is the better player and his stats are misleading

NOT a fact - Peppers will always be better than Johnson because he's a better athlete

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
