Can't wait to see Gross go up against Peppers

Whatever team Peppers ends up on, I can't wait to see the Panther that showed his loyalty go up against the one that thumbed his nose at the organization that gave him everything. It would be an amazing battle since they are very familiar with each other going at it in practice for 6 seasons, even after both switched positions. Can't wait.

if left one on one w/ Gross ( and Pep wanted to play)....he would abuse Gross inbetween Gross' false starts as he worried about Pep each and every play. Gross is very good and worth every penny.....but Pep is a rare freak when he wants to be.

Really Gross had no Problems with Abraham last year and he has been better then Peppers for three years now. Peppers is only great in our minds cause we have been around him for so long. Really there are better DEs that our O-line has gone up ageist.

Peppers would consistently get around/through Gross, but it would also be a consistent second or two too late to do anything.

It is a good thing we don't have a QB w/ a history of sitting back in the pocket too long from time to time and then laying the ball down. Seems like that is the ideal matchup Pep would love to go against.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
