Yes, I know, another Peppers scenario


Dr.H

Recommended Posts

I know everybody is tired of Peppers scenarios, but how bout this idea.

We all know that Peppers is most likely gonna be franchised and traded. Well, what if we trade him for a 1 draft pick in next years draft. The QB pool is much better in next years draft. They can have that number one and then another first round pick next year. Then, depending on how the team does, they can use both picks to move up in the first round and get a QB like The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Also, I have seen a lot of people who have said that the Cardinals would not trade Boldin for Peppers, but I think they might. What about Peppers to the Browns (3-4 defense) for Braylon Edwards. I know he dropped a lot of balls last year, but he has a great upside and would be a great compliment to Smith. We could do that and then sign Haynesworth at DT. I like Lucas at CB and see no need to get Asomugha.

Also, I have mixed emotions on keeping Gross. I think we could replace him by moving Wharton back to LT and signing a guard. Maybe Alan Faneca depending on how much he wants. Or we could keep Hangartner and have him start at LG. I think he is capable. Maurice Williams with the Jags might also be a free agent. He has some talent. Also, for the DE problem. What about Ekuban or Kalimba Edwards, or Travis Laboy? I think they can easily fill the void at DE. That fills needs at DT and OL. And also a decent DE, and could also give us a solid #2 reciever. Then we can build in this years draft (addressing DE, OL, TE/FB, CB, and Saftey) and draft The Golden Calf of Bristol in next years draft. What about your thoughts?

Oh, we could also pick up Leftwich in free agency.

Umm how about not doing any of that.

First Trading peppers for a first next year doesn't help our cause this season now does it????? Fox isn't going to do that. It would be for picks in this years draft unless we got two first with one of them being in next years draft.

Second. Fox would rather get his QB in FA, he hasn't drafted but one QB and that was in the 4th/5th round. So you can knock that Idea out the window there.

Player for player deals hardly ever happen in the nfl. If we trade Peppers it will be for Picks not another player. WR isn't a need we have good depth there even if we cut Hackett.

Haynesworth has too many character question too end up here. Asomugha will be Franchise tagged by Oakland. So there's those.

Now for the Line movement, We do not want Wharton back at LT, he's only average there where at LG he's really really good. OT in FA is really really slim pickings for OT's as well especially for LT's. Faneca signed a massive deal last offseason with the Jets.

Draft wise.....

We need DE, DT and even some more Dline depth. Maybe a backup corner to go behind Marshall if do in fact cut Lucas.

Leftwich is a no go though, his arm delivery is horrible for the NFL.

    • Well hold on let's pause for a second and establish some things first since we're on the subject of "cop outs with no room for nuance". Our own QB has 37 games under his belt. Many of them are either subpar or just plain bad. We only just this past Sunday won our 2nd road game in his career. But months and months of contentious discussion since his rookie season has largely resulted in the oft used argument that Bryce Young's struggles were due to the coaching and players around him and ultimately he couldn't be blamed But now apparently it seems like you folks have fully tossed that out and are actively blaming Stroud while wholly omitting contributing circumstances around him. So which is one it????? As far as Brees. Look I've got to be direct here. I cannot stand that guy. But I would have to concede that he had a significantly better arm than Bryce Young. I mean it's not even close. Plus as much as it annoys me to say it's clear Drew Brees wasn't afraid to hit the weight room either. And Baker has obviously always had arm talent that showed on the tape even when he was struggling or being a tool. Acknowledging all of this is the first step in gaining a firm footing in reality with the rest of us.
    • I know one thing. I would have Horn active this week. If he gets behind the defense Andy will get that ball down there.
    • I think if we were 2-5 right now and finished 6-11 then that would be more understandable. But at this point.. 4-3 entering week 8. They have to at least finish 7-10 or it’s going to look like they fell apart. Finishing 7-10 still means we go 3-7 down the stretch.
